I use homespun fabrics in my quilts. This quilt belongs to my son,Steve. Its mostly made from "Mission Valley" plaids & stripes along with Civil War era reproduction shirting prints. It won a 3rd place ribbon in my guild's quilt show.

The 2nd quilt also has plaids in it. I won the bird blocks in my South Carolina guild's block of the month. They weren't all the same size so they were in the UFO pile for about 10 years. When when I moved to Texas I joined a new guild and took a class called, "Plaid and Stripe Salad"; the plaid blocks are all 6", the birds are supposed to be 10". Its one of my favorite quilts.
