Default Feed Sack quilt

I finished quilting this small quilt this past week. I used feed sack prints in the blocks. I got a big barrel of them for $1 at a garage sale! It seemed that pink was a good color to set them off. Now my UFO's are all caught up!

I love your quilt, it is so pretty! Feedsack fabric is very special to me. My grandparents had a citrus and poultry ranch and hundreds of feedsacks. My mother had all the fabric she could use and many pretty school dresses were made from the feedsacks. Anyway, your quilt is lovely!
