So... you are not alone.
tho i knew what feedsacks were, i had no real interest in them. then at a farm auction in PA in mid 80’s i bought a small box of fabric for .25 cents. about a dozen feedsacks ..intact
. since then i have accumulated many. at auctions, yard sales, estate sales etc. don't anymore because of the prices they ask for now, but like you, mine are safely tucked away ..too beautiful to cut. i don't even want to remove the stitching now as it being such an integral part of their history. i also have lots of scraps ..identified via stitch holes& matching the prints & texture. those
will go into quilts someday
