100% cotton gingham is hard to find but not impossible; look for it at the big discount fabric houses.Oh, gee, I wish I could recall where I saw it last. Dang! :?

i just love gingham!!! would love to see pics!!!

The very first quilt I made was from all different colors of gingham. I had no idea what I was doing and using scissors and pins made my first daughter a quilt. I have no picture and I must say...my ignorance got it finished. If I had know the rules or followed the rules...It would not have ever been finished. She's 26 now. =) She's getting married in April and I think I might just try and duplicate the one I made for her if I can remember~just in case one day she gives me grandbabies. =) I would be interested in some. This would be fun for me. =)

I guess that would be a good place to start is to take pictures :roll:
okay.. I'll do that - thanks so much for the interest.

I had picked up about 8 different yellow gingham fabrics at a thrift shop and made a quilt top. It turned out OK but I didn't like working with the fabric....it was obviously part polyester and flimsy....almost see-through. I have vowed not to make any more using that fabric.

i bought brown gingham at a hancocks that was closing a few years ago.
i swear JA has it in the kids/baby section. cotton in different colors.. |
The cotton gingham is much nicer to work with! No, I have never made a quilt out of 100% gingham fabrics.

I meant Ramona - you crack me up! LOL

I've wondered a long time why certain fabrics were no longer being made. And I'd love to get some of the same thick, flowing jerseys that is in an evening dress of my Mother's that fits me well. Cut on the bias and I love it, cream with huge reddish cabbage roses. I cut it knee length and added that fabric to the sleeveless top..after 60 you can't do a thing with floppy upper arms. And then there was the crisp and crinkled fabric (forgotten what it was) that I was wearing when I got my first kiss...oh, bliss!!! Wonder what his name was....also can't remember it but do I remember that dress!!! |
Hancock Fabrics does carry 100% cotton gingham.
