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:

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.
