    My grandma made both me and my sister a sun bonnet sue quilt with her feed sacks. I loved it so much.

    You can usually find a vendor or two selling feedsacks and vintage quilt tops at quilt shows. I've seen them several times. I have also found a bit here and there at estate sales. Once I bought a box of 2" squares cut from those fabrics, and made Granny Square blocks out of them. (They are still not a quilt!) I have a small collection of bigger pieces that I don't want to cut up! The only use I would think of for them is a quilt in a vintage pattern.

    You will have fun picking a pattern. Just wash in an enzyme based detergent and the smell will go away.
