Thanks everyone for the interesting information about feed sacks. I have a handmade quilt made by my husbands dgm, circa 1920. They always told me it was made from flour sacks. I was a city girl, but poor...lived in the projects after ww2. So we never saw anything like sacks for feed or flour. If someone came to school or church wearing sacks, I sure wouldn't know! I learn so much on quiltingboard.
