    A few years ago I was gifted many yards of ginghams and did not know what to do with them, so used them on the backs of my charity quilts. It worked out perfect, they quilted up soft and the assorted colors were really fun for the backs. Win, win for me. Peace, Brenda

    I love using ginghams for baby quilts. I made a wallhanging for my new Baby's room just with ginghams. Since it won't be washed much, I didn't even worry about the fiber content.

    I’ve been (slowly) working my way through Lori Holt’s Farm Girl Vintage book. I too have a bunch of gingham print and it has worked surprisingly well with her patterns. I guess I should’nt be surprised, but I’m liking it a lot more than I thought I would.

    Our church has a supply donated, too. I used some for quilt backs and another member made aprons - is it Swedish embroidery - to sell at the bazaar.

    I would probably use it for quilts and put poly blend fabric with it. So they would last as long, and colors last longer than cotton.

    My daughter has a very worn vintage lavender gingham and white star pattern quilt. It was once a beauty, and I hope to recreate it someday.

    I have cotton fabric with 1/4" squares in various colors, that is perfect for "chicken scratch".
