The feed sacks are very easy to work with. For those that ask I'll take pictures of some of them in the next few days. FYI A feed sack would have held 50 lbs and measures about 45x36. A flour sack was much smaller and held 25 lbs. It's a little larger than a fat quarter. There are a few more sizes, such as a salt sack, which I've never seen. Darlene Zimmerman has a book on feed sacks that has a lot of history about the sacks plus patterns.
