Feed Sack quilt
 
2 Attachment(s)
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!

Positively wonderful. One of the prettiest feedsack quilts I've seen. Thanks for sharing.

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!

The quilt is about 36 by 24. The blocks are 3".

That is beautiful. Love your choice of pink as the border.

Bubble gum pink was a favorite color in the DAY:)

So very pretty! Pink is perfect for those feed sack fabrics.

beautifully done.

Very nice job. And good score on the feedsack fabrics. I love feedsacks. I have quite a few which are mostly smaller scrap pieces. I did make a double wedding ring quilt and even used the plain offwhite ones for the background. That quilt is quite heavy. I've pretty much worn it out from use.

Love your quilt, you did them justice!!!! What a great bargain to find them a one dollar, lucky you. You are also lucky to have your UFO's done, would you like a few more? lol

nls 11-12-2011 07:42 PM

So very cute!!

LivelyLady 11-12-2011 07:44 PM

Beautiful quilt and great work! Feedsacks are really my favorite fabric.

NancyHanks 11-12-2011 07:47 PM

Great job!

lollygagging 11-12-2011 07:47 PM

Very soft and gentle looking. I love the way the white sets off the feed sack fabric. Your quilting complements your piecing. Thanks for sharing.

meant2be 11-12-2011 07:50 PM

Darling quilt - so glad you made such good use of the feed sacks.

Rock Lady 11-12-2011 07:53 PM

I love your quilt. Looks like you put a lot of work into it. Great colors.

It's lovely! I like the pink with the other colours.

Cottontop 11-12-2011 08:32 PM

Absolutely gorgeous...makes me want to snuggle.

missionslady 11-12-2011 08:35 PM

I absolutely love your quilt!!! Wow, what a find!!! Can't believe you got a barrel of feedsacks for a $1.00! They obviously went to the right person. Enjoy!

traveler53 11-12-2011 08:37 PM

Lovely and very nice quilting

oksewglad 11-12-2011 09:31 PM

Another precious quilt, Nancy! What no UFO's? Must have some WIP's, don't you?

annrook 11-12-2011 09:46 PM

Love the block pattern. Prints from the 30's are my favorite. Is there a name for the block? Or a pattern? Setting your blocks on point really does "the trick". And your hand quilting is exquisite.

Painiacs 11-12-2011 09:51 PM

That's so girly pretty!! I can't believe you got a barrel of them for a buck! All kinds of neat things u can make! Can't wait to see! :)

walkswithwolves 11-12-2011 10:27 PM

Janet I remember those days. All our cloths were made from feed sacks.

cindy4857 11-12-2011 11:18 PM

beautiful. The little quilts look like more work than the big ones. you did a great job it is very very pretty.

Rainy Day 11-12-2011 11:22 PM

Wow - well done!

sharin'Sharon 11-12-2011 11:39 PM

Very nice. Also like the pink. Is the quilting computerized? All blocks are so precise. What a bargain for the feedsacks. Thanks for sharing.

brenda90159 11-12-2011 11:43 PM

How beautiful I love the pink.

sandyl 11-13-2011 03:38 AM

That's just perfectly perfect! Love the pink, and the use of feedsacks,too.
