I like gingham, the very first baby quilts I sewed were from different colors of gingham in pastels shades. I put a ruffle around it, because at the time I did not know how to bind or what binding was. It was a baby quilt, came across it not too long ago. My son who is now getting married said to save it for him as I was expecting him when I sewed it. That is when it came to me, quilting has caught my eye for many years! Yes it was polyester, too, so it slipped and moved so easily, with none of the tools I have now, it was a job for sure.
