Fabric Pattern?

<p>My dear friend is helping make me something for the UA Chicago alums. She picked up some fabric which she thinks is Houndstooth - but it’s not. What the heck is this pattern (see picture link) called? </p>

<p>And yes I know this is slightly OT for this area. Sorry. </p>

<p>Looks like Shepherd’s Check.

<p>Cuttlefish, you rock!! I have had that fabric here in my house for a week sitting here mocking me because I couldn’t find the name. :)</p>

<p>BTW, if anyone needs Bama fabric and does not live in an area where you can just walk into a store and buy it, Hobby Lobby has 40% off (coupon 7083) combined with 17 cent shipping today and tomorrow.</p>

<p>It may be Shepherd’s check (and it likely is), but depending on what it’s used for, it probably could pass. The weave isn’t a tightly fine one (like some checks), so it does almost appear to be houndstooth.</p>

<p>Guess what I did? I googled “pattern similar to houndstooth”! Then I went from there.</p>

<p>My D2 says there is an app for figuring put the song title from just a few words. I was hoping there was one for fabric patterns, flowers, trees, etc. Maybe there is one. </p>

<p>Anyway, you are welcome. Roll Tide!</p>

<p>Ah, similar to. I tried “like”. And then looking through google images until I was cross-eyed. Thanks again!</p>

<p>IMHO, if you can’t find a true houndstooth, Shepherd’s Check would work.</p>

<p>Southlander, that is probably true for any situation other than hanging in a bar named the Houndstooth. Some of the real stuff is on order. :)</p>
