I made an all-gingham quilt in 1980 when I was expecting our first child. Both our babies used it and my daughter used it with her two kiddos. It's still in use, but mostly as an oversized doll quilt now
. Obviously that gingham has held up well!
See Bonnie Hunter's post today for pictures of quilts made from Dan River Mills gingham
