It is all feed sacks except for the sashing. I did not have enough plain feed sacks for the sashing. The quilt is 102 square so it was hard for DH to hold it up. The back and boarders are the same. I had to get real creative on the back. When I was done I had about the size of a fat quarter left of the backing. You are only seeing the middle of the back.

Beautiful! I collect feedsacks, but have not been able to bring myself to cut them up. However, I am trying to change my mind!

Your feed sack quilt is fantastic, cute back. Where did you get all the feed sack's? Thanks for sharing.

Sweeterthanwine 10-26-2010 06:52 PM

Where do you get feed sacks these days? My mother used them to make my clothes when I was younger.

We run ads for them. Sometimes they want to much and sometimes we can buy a lot of them for a small fee. I have about 800 or 900. As for the back, I have several different feedsacks that I have a lot of so I save them for boarders and backing.
Thank you one and all for your kind comments.
