I love feedsacks! I've been collecting some lately. I'd like to use them in a Letha’s Electric Fan quilt or even a regular fan quilt or wedding ring design with an all white backdrop.
The image below (via Imgur) has a quote attached "When they realized women were using their sacks to make clothes for their children, the mills started using flowered fabric for their sacks. The labels were designed to wash out."
I'm sure nowadays they'd just raise the price...
