Thread: Plaid and checkered fabric - what to do with?

I personally adore homespuns. Here are a couple of examples I found in my "quilt ideas" file. I'm not sure where they're from but I think maybe from Quiltille & Quilter's Cache. Hope these help.

It may take me two yrs or more due to limited funds but I'm collecting plaids (homespuns) to make a french braid. I have the pattern and love it. I'll include the link. http://keepyouinstitches.blogspot.co...-tutorial.html

For kids quilts, I've used smaller gingham checks for the "solid" pieces. Love it.
