My guess, 1940's and yes, some feedsack in there. Think loving thoughts of the lady (probably) who put so much time and effort into it.

WOW, what a find for you, but also a shame that the person selling the quilt didn't realize what a gem she had in her possession.

Fabulous find! I've found awesome quilts at estate sales, but they wanted a LOT more than $1 for them!

Lucky you but even more lucky for such a lovely quilt, I hope you enjoy it and give it a loving home for a long time to come.

Will you finish it?

Lots of them look like the feed sacks grandma always had. Even the big orange flower. Feed sacks are just slightly rougher texture than most modern cotton, and just a little looser woven.

There are several pieces that have a looser weave and a little rougher texture like the feed sack. I would love to finish the quilt.
