The feed sacks make me think of the 40's. My grandmother used to sew feedsack dresses for me and one thing I remember about them, was that they faded. It also sounds like a time when clothes were reused for quilts because there was not enough money to just go out and buy new fabric. Nothing got thrown away; clothes were patched, handed down and finally put in the rag-bag. They then became cleaning cloths, braided rugs or maybe quilts. That could have been during the war, or even the depression. It has that look to me.

If it could talk, I bet it would say, "Wow, I just woke up in a whole new world!" :)
