John Louden Homespun Fat Quarters – Set of 5 – 100% Cotton – Rustic Quilting Bundle
Create timeless, rustic-inspired projects with the John Louden Homespun Fat Quarter Set. This beautifully coordinated bundle includes five woven fat quarters made from 100% cotton, perfect for traditional quilting, crafting, and home décor. Each set includes a mix of textures and patterns: one plain, two ticking stripes (positive and negative), and two checks (2.5mm and 8mm), offering a perfect palette for country-style or primitive projects.
Homespun fabric is known for its soft yet textured hand-feel and loosely woven structure, making it ideal for rag quilts, napkins, cushions, and simple garments. Pre-washing is advised due to expected shrinkage, which enhances the homespun charm and frayed-edge appeal.
