I remember well the feed sacks, the quilts made from them, and the laughter surrounding the process. You can do ANYTHING you'd like with them. 9 patch, 4 square, flying geese, anything! If they are in bad shape, thinner in spots or something.....do a scrap quilt. Like Patrice said, don't get bound up in rules and "have to" just enjoy the fabrics.
Most of the time, I have to lay the fabrics out on a bed, table, or the floor, to get my inspiration. Enjoy your fabrics.
Welcome to the world of obsession, quilters can't stop!
