The fabric is quite course on both of the brightly colored ones. So maybe they are feed sacks. (I think flour would have come through them.) Where do I find fabric to match that? She wants borders added to these two to turn them into at least a double bed size. (They are almost that size now.)
Feed Sacks are getting harder to find. Kona cloth is similar in texture. I think it only comes in solids, but don't quote me. Yes, Flour Sacks were much finer woven. Another Feed Sack fact is the smaller the print the older the Feed Sack.
I do have have and sell Feed Sacks. PM me if you are interested in what I have.
