Default Feedsack advice

Tonite a neighbor gave me 5 trash bags full of fabric from her mom's home. Imagine how excited i was to find some feedsack with a paper pinned to it...WWII chicken feed sack! It's rose colored with navy flowers. I need suggestions on how to use it to best advantage. I'm thinking snowballs...anyone else have ideas? I kind of don't want to cut it little pieces, but i do want a 30's look. Help!

Snowballs would be great! Actually anything you do with it would be great -- I love vintage fabrics! You are so lucky to have this gift of feed sacks to work with.

I agree with the snowball block. It'll show off your wonderful fabric.
