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
Carmen

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 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.

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.

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.
