Do you know where I can find any?

Hi!
I'm so into 30s it's frightening. OK, to replace vintage with vintage, check out ebay's search engine with feedsack fabric.

If you're looking to gather more fabric that is similar but a tighter weave, considered quilter's cottons reproductions are wonderful and less expensive (usually). I just found a new to me spot for repros online at http://www.ericas.com/fabric/oldfash.htm and have purchased from their staff at quilt shows. I plan to road trip to the store soon. THEY ARE WONDERFUL!
RETRO :D

Check ebay for feed sacks. Also some of the 30's look like feed sacks. I bought feed sacks repo at Joann's a couple of years ago.

I have a large stash of vintage fabric. If you let me know which pieces in the quilt your looking to repair and how much of each I will be happy to just send it to you.
