Homespun quilt pattern
 

I am looking for a pattern that uses homespun fabrics. I do not want to make a rag quilt. Does anyone know of a source where I can get the pattern? Willing to pay for the pattern.

Thanks

You might try Primitive Gatherings. They have several quilts in their store using homespuns.

I have made a couple using homespuns. Sorry I don't remember the names of them. First one I think was called Kansas Troubles. Can't remember second one. [ATTACH=CONFIG]561509[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]561510[/ATTACH]
(Sorry for bad display for second one. Bed being used at the moment and have no other place to spread out. First pic was taken at a cabin we stayed at during Christmas, where you BYO linens.)

I saw the most wonderful New York Beauty made entirely out of home spun materials. It was a great guy quilt. In my mind, any quilt pattern that has small pieces can be made of home spun material. Bonnie Hunter at Quiltville has a lot of free patterns. You could do simple pinwheels or 4 patches with a constant background color. The sky's the limit.

I suggested this one before when another quilter wanted to use checks/homespuns.
It's a Bonnie Hunter pattern Pineapple Blossom

Chester bunny and Yngldy, those are all great quilts... comfy, cozy.

I saw a beautiful simple pattern using homespun fabrics on Pinterest, I have the image saved but don't know how to show it here. I have a collection of homespun fabrics and plan on using them in that pattern.

Great ideas. Thanks for sharing.

I think just about any traditional pattern can be done with homespuns. Log cabins, Sawtooth star, Maple leaf, square in a square, churn dash, 9 patch, the list is endless. One of our members did a fabulous pineapple quilt using mens shirts.

I did a cat quilt using homespuns:

If you google images of "homespun quilts" you will get loads of ideas and also go to Bonnie Hunter's website for even more ideas. http://quiltville.blogspot.com/

I think the key is, whatever pattern you pick make sure you have a good strong contrast in value. Ynglady's and Chester the bunny have posted excellent examples of how striking they can be mixed with a light solid as well.

Wow! That's beautiful!!
