need homespun pattern ideas
 

I was gifted some homespun fabric - both yardage and fat quarters - and need ideas on a good pattern to use. At the moment the only one that comes to mind is Yellow Brick Road, but I've already made one from homespun and am looking for something new to make. What are other good patterns for Homespun? Thanks!!

I made a cat quilt out of homespuns, it came out really cute. It is the 3rd picture down on this thread:

Wild8580 just posted a drop dead gorgeous pineapple quilt all made out of recycled mens shirts which have a homespun look to them:

How about a bear's paw, with each paw from one fabric on a neutral background. I saw a quilt in a magazine from around 2004 called 'Bears Wear Plaid'. I thought it was beautiful.

Do you belong to Pinterest? I have a few ideas saved that might help you. http://www.pinterest.com/dottie_dodg...shirts-plaids/ There are tons of ideas on pinterest. These are just the ones that appealed to me.

Are your homespuns plaid? Many patterns would work, they are wonderful in rag quilts. Because of the looser weave you may want a little wider seam than the regular 1/4 inch. Have you already made trip around the world or Boston commons, they would work well.

I found this on Pinterest. It's from E-PatternsCentral. If you Google plaid shirt triangle quilt patterns, it's the first pattern on Images. I hope I did this correctly, good luck!!!!http://media-cache-cd0.pinimg.com/73...3243360ce4.jpg

someone just posted pictures of a pineapple quilt made with recycled shirts. It would be great made of homespuns.

Homespuns make the best rag quilts, I have made several and just love the softness of them!!

I have a whole small drawer full. I did a D9P.

I love homespuns in bow tie blocks.
