Or maybe pique?

Or maybe pique?

Years ago I made several quilts from gingham. Mine had a star pattern in each block. The block was probably about 10-15". It was called chicken scratch. It looks like a lace design. A lot of work but made a very pretty quilt.

What does FQ stand for I still haven't figured out all the text abbreviations yet.

FQ = Fat Quarter (also can be abbreviated as F4)

I have one in my UFO group. I have all of the blocks done, but was having trouble making the blocks fit, as some of the gingham stretched too much. That was before i heard about so many using starch. I haven't gotten back to working on it but plan to sometime in the near future. May have to make some of the blocks over, I bought enough of the fab. when I started it to give to a friend to make one for myself. Hopefully I will get it finished this spring. If you dedice to make one, check the gingham out, some is much thinner that others and seems to give too much. I would suggest starching it well, before cuttint and sewing it into blocks. My ginghams are all the spring colors, lilac, pink, mint green yellow etc.

I have some cotton gingham from the 1970's - sort of thin for quilts. My Grandma used to use gingham to make aprons, embroidered cross stitch designs over the squares. Also did smocking using the squares to determine the gathering and embroidery. I did make a tablecloth of patchwork squares for my parents, including cotton gingham and it held up pretty well over the past 40 years, despite the thinness!

I have a vintage gingham apron & I absolutely love it :)

I have made quilts from just gingham,however that was in the 60's :P
