Philco Grill Cloth
#4

It's tough because you don't want to pick a pattern Kenny or RD is already making.  I think Kenny's Whiskey Rayon adequately takes care of the bulk of the early cathedrals, there are already chevron patterns out there so for the Philco cloth I think I'll vote for #14 (ribbed) because I don't see anyone else making it and # 13 because it looks like a good generic for some early cathedrals.

I'll wait and see what others have to say before I cast my final vote.

I'll say one thing, while we're not back in the glory days of GCHQ, we're far better off than I thought we'd be and I'd like to thank Kenny for being the first to bring back some old patterns.  I know it was expensive and frustrating dealing with various mills, test runs, etc. to get an acceptable product, but thanks to Kenny we at least have some decent patterns to choose from without cutting up cheap motel drapes.
