Though gingham feels as American as apple pie, it has quite worldly origins.  It is said to have originated in either Malaysia or France in the 17th century and started more like a stripe than a check.  It was adopted and popularized by the English and the Dutch around 1800 when it became the checked pattern we know today and was often produced in a cotton or muslin fabric.  Our small gingham checks in shades of red, blue and natural are the perfect neutral to add to all of your quilts and sewing projects.
