Here's a link to the feedsack mini that you can see close ups of the material and see how loosely woven it is.

I'm working on finishing an old log cabin quilt for my SIL that her grandma never finished (I hand tied it after researching how the original ones were done, but I don't know if I should do a regular binding or not). Hoping to give it back to her for her birthday in June. She thinks she just gave it to me because she knows I love quilts, so she should be surprised when she gets it back.

Thank you for the assistance. I can see that weave in some of the material for sure and also in the back completely. You know, I've had this quilt for awhile, and I honestly wondered what it was good for until I started doing some amateurish quilt tops lately on the machine and started noticing the quilts I had here and there. I should have appreciated it before. I will be making a label for it. I just wish I knew when she made it for sure. My mom is gone, so I can't ask her. It was made by her mother-in-law.
Thanks again!
Thanks again!
