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
ckcowl, What a GREAT quilt!!!! Thanks for sharing your quilt and your knowledge of homespuns....I've been saving up homespuns too, and was a little reluctant to get started with them.....Thanks for the heads-up on working with them
