OMG...I had a dress out of 2 of those fabrics! I can remember the men at the feed store cringing when my grandmother and I would go in and pick out which sacks of chicken feed we wanted (always at the bottom of a pile of 15-20!! My grandfather would wait in the car...didn't want to be associated with us when making the guys move bags so we could get what we wanted! They were always willing to do it...(I'm sure they talked about us when we left!)...I have 2 quilts my grandmother made...9 patch...all made with feed sacks...left overs from the dresses she and my mother made!
