    I think when working with homespun you need either a serger and/or 5/8" seams instead of 1/4", but that's just my opinion. The weave of that stuff is not tight enough for 1/4" seams.

    I've not worked with homespun and think now that I don't want to. Great job and end project looks great.

    It's really nice--very masculine. I'm sure you son will cherish it. I've never worked with homespun in a quilt. But it's great for making chenille scarves. It would probably be good for rag quilts too.

    Thanks for the compliments everyone!!!
    I have some material left so I think I will try a rag quilt, I have never made one.

    I like it because it's looks old, but I agree it can be a pain.
    BTW I was born in Tomball.

    Your test of patience in working with a difficult fabric really paid off because the results are great.

    Looks great...I think I have seen a French braid made of homespun on this board.
