is gingham the new stripe?

I seem to be craving gingham in every possible color of the rainbow (red? you bet. blue? oh yeah. black? bring it on! green? yes, please.) and as much of it as possible!  So it made me think...

(striped top, gingham top)

Not to at all imply that the stripe is on it's way out... but I think we're on to something here.  What do you think!?!?
