oh my goodness---- there are FABULOUS quilts made with homespuns!!!
it is so sad when people who have no experience with something are so negative about it.
here's a picture of my latest homespun quilt- if you search homespun quilts you will find many many more.
the only things to keep in mind is-
prewash- they are a looser weave than regular cottons- so shrink more
starch before cutting will help you with more accurate cuts
press carefully to not stretch them into wonky shapes.
enjoy the process
