like you, I didn't at first, but I've seen others do such cute things with it. Have to keep an open mind, but I doubt I'll ever buy the fabric. I'm attracted to many other things first.

I like chevron quilts, but not chevron fabric--not sure why, except it bothers my eyes. Kind of like optical illusion quilts--I think they are fascinating in how they fool the eye, but I couldn't live with one.

I think that fabric will have to grow on me, but then I didn't like 30's reproduction fabric when I first saw it and now am a big fan. I wonder if they'll just be a fad or if they will become a mainstay ..... only time will tell. I've been trying to mix them with polka dots and florals but still struggling.

My thoughts exactly! I love the quilts, but the fabrics just mess with my eyes (much as some stripes and polka dots do). A chevron pattern is on my bucket list.

In the 70's I taught myself to crochet while my husband was attending a University. I made an chevron style afghan for everyone in my family, seven of them. When I saw that chevron fabric being rolled out for sale I shuttered. I was tired of it before it even came out, it would be a cute backing for a quilt though.

Hmmmm. On second thought, chevrons might just grow on me! 
Here are the phone cases I've made so far. Wish I'd ordered two of the charm packs so I would've had two of each print.
