I made my daughter a gingham quilt with matching curtains. My mother made tied quilts with gingham and tied it diagonally with white yarn in the white square and alternating with colored yarn in the colored squares. She also did a "chicken scratch" quilt and used eyelet sashing. It was beautiful. I am making a "chicken scratch" gingham quilt for each of my grandchildren to use with their children. I LOVE gingham

I have about 6 yard of colors of gingham and planning on a quilt. Its still in thought process, with the other 99.

I have a cotton/poly gingham quilt that is probably nearly as old as I am.. It has been used for everything you can imagine.. I love that silly quilt because I can wash anything that ever gets on it out... It never fades and wears like iron. Cotton is a wonderful fabric, but blends are also wonderful in a different way. I wouldn't hesitate to lay this quilt I have on the ground for a picnic, or to wrap up a sick child, to work on a broken down car along side the highway, whatever it's needed for it works for... Then I wash it and away we go. I sure would not toss one of my cotton quilts on the ground for any reason.
It's like the difference between comfy jeans with a t-shirt and a beautiful evening dress.. both have a needed place to fill. |
I've seen the all cotton at Hobby Lobby.

I used some blue gingham checked for the back of my great grandson's quilt I did for Christmas. I had it in my stash.

For cotton gingham and dotted swiss, you might try Children's Corner. They import a lot and have lots of 100% cotton. I'm almost sure they have gingham only I think they call it microcheck...

I'm just finishing a chicken scratch sampler quilt top with green, blue and yellow gingham blocks. I had to use an old sheet to back the gingham for the embroidery because the gingham has no weight. I think it is coming out fine.

yes I have, baby quilts, made with yellow,green, blue, pink gingham and white blocks. White binding and white backing. I use high loft fluffy batting and tie at the corners with white baby yarn.
