I see this design used in quilting and home decor
A checked fabric is basically a really simple, regular plaid. Plaids are just about THE most successful design ever created, and they are available in just about any color combination you could imagine. Here is an interesting article about plaids from the Smithsonian: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/brief-history-plaid-180957342/ - This URL has photos of some lovely ways to combine plaids with gingham or florals in a quilt: https://www.quiltingboard.com/main-f1/plaid-checkered-fabric-what-do-t182991.html - As for garment sewing - vests, jackets, blouses and dresses are all great candidates for a checkered fabric. * * * * * Here is the URL to the full Hurricane on Checkered Field collection, where you will also find coordinating solids: https://www.spoonflower.com/collections/167317 * * * * * If you need a design in another size, just send me a messsage!
