Flour Sacks Update
 
1 Attachment(s)
My friend came over and ended up giving me 20 pieces! I've washed and ruler folded them. Quite a few of them still had the holes where the sack's stitching was. They are authentic. I was thinking of making a Yellow Brick Road. Any other suggestions?

I would want to use them in a vintage or traditional type pattern.

Oh my gosh!! Those are beautiful!! I'd suggest selling them to me! hehehehe! I love the old feed and flour sacks. If you ever run upon any more that you don't want...... I'll be glad to take them off your hands.

Oh, to answer your question, I am making Dresden Plates out of mine. That seems to be a traditional pattern of that time period.

Those fabrics would look nice in a bow tie quilt.

Gorgeous! What a treasure! Love the bow-tie quilt idea. My grandmother loved bow-ties!
