If I remember correctly, a yard is one feedsack. They make up beautifully, especially into patterns from the 30's and 40's. I keep thinking I'll sell my uncut feedsacks but so far have been unable to part with them so I have a small but nice collection. Also have a quilt I started a few years ago but put aside; maybe it's time to get it out and work on it. The Feedsack Club used to have a convention in Lancaster PA every year which coincided with the big quilt show in the spring. They were a fun bunch of people!
