Flour sack fabric gifted to me!
 
I recently was given several flour sacks by a friend's mom who had them in storage for a long time. There are probably around 12-15 of them. Some have some staining from storage. Can I get that out?

Also, they are all white. Is there any reproduction type fabric that would go well with the flour sack fabric to make a quilt? Or any other projects that I could be making with them?

Thanks ahead for helping me brain storm!

I have RetroClean and it takes out everything. I really love that product

I too use retro clean and I love it. No harsh chemical smell and it really works.

I am using some white feedsacks in a pieced quilt with vintage 1930's fabrics (also feedsacks) and 1930's reproductions. Go for it!

I always think calico when I see flour sacking. At least that is what I would use.
Glad to hear about RetroClean. I have a quilt that my grandmother made and it could use some.
