Nikki - yes, the family was a farming - focused family; Floyd County Iowa - and Charles City to be specific. Hadn't thought about the feed sacks but that and seed bags could certainly have been used. Neat stuff!
Again, once I locate other pics I will be asking pretty much the same questions! My goal right now is to photo-document those quilts still in and amongst the family, then I'd like to sew a few similar in pattern/style. My sisters-in-law have been loading me up with excess fabric for a start!
