Homespun Fabric

Homespun Fabric

When I look up about doing a rag quilt it says homespun fabrics are good. What are they? ?

They also mention flannel is good, but I like all the patterns that come in 100% cotton. Can I use 100% cotton? Like regular quilting fabrics?

Homespun fabrics are best for rag quilts because the pattern is in the weave of the fabric, not printed on top. Also, homespuns aren't as tightly woven as printed cotton fabrics, so they fray a little easier (which you want in a rag quilt). The down side of homespuns is that they are only available in stripes and plaids, and the colors are fairly limited. Homespun fabrics and flannels are both 100% cotton, by the way.

You could use regular cotton quilting fabrics, but it won't have the soft texture of flannel or the clean color in the frayed portions of homespuns. Expect your frayed bits to be lighter because the back of the fabrics will be visible.
