My grandma use to make us a new dress for school each year out of flour sacks. The one I remember most was yellow with little flowers

I got a bunch of feedsack scraps from eBay and they are gorgeous! I am going to pair them with white feedsack towels (from a reputable home store) to match the weave and weight of the feedsack fabric. My strategy is to make as many HSTs as possible, saving all the scraps-from-the-scraps to use in mile-a-minute or string blocks, or what I call "Franken-blocks" (say, a nine-patch block that has one of the units pieced from two fabrics). I will likely end up with HSTs of different sizes for additional projects - or maybe a pieced border.

I first need to group the scraps into sizes to determine what size(s) of HST to make, and set aside larger squares for more block options. Depending on how many HST I get, there are several options - an Ocean Waves variation, Broken Dishes, Depression block, checkerboard, Annie's Choice, Fancy Stripes, Mosaic 2, Indiana Puzzle, etc. etc. etc. I could also just alternate squares of the feedsack with plain white feedsack squares.

I purchased them here in North Carolina at a house auction and elderly lady who had passed away & they sold her things. I could never afford them on line...they would have cost hundreds of dollars I know. Ok I will make you all crazy with the price of $25.00 for the whole box, nothing short of a steal.

When I was growing up, my grandmother used feed sacks for everything. I remember the dish towels the best.
