It's kinda the opposite. Broadcloth is tightly woven and sturdy, but still soft and usually pretty smooth. Homespun is loosely woven and has imperfections, like occasional little knots in the threads, that give it character.

Broadcloth was originally made from wool, but I've only ever seen it in cotton in stores. Apparently it makes really good shirt fabric, so I imagine it would be great for quilt backs, especially for children or heritage quilts.

Girl, tappin your foot is not going to make the 19th come any faster. Now quit tappin & find us some more players, lol.
