    You did a wonderful job with that horrible sounding fabric. I don't have any and don't plan to.

    I love your quilt. That's probably because I love homespun fabric. I've made an Irish Chain quilt with homespun. In fact, I like the fabric so much, I've made myself three shirts from it.

    Hi, when working with home spun you should iron it to a very light interface, it keeps it from stretching/shredding, same as t-shirt material. Your quilt looks great.

    I made a rag quilt using homespun fabrics and I didn't have a problem. Maybe it works well with rag quilts.

    good job of handling homespun..the only thing I find homespun good for are rag quilts, they are great for rag quilts.

    Very pretty, certainly doesn't look like a nightmare! Don't think I'll ever try using homespun, congrats on finishing!
