So very beautiful! I use feedsacks in with vintage and newer fabrics and love the look! Feedsacks are rough feeling and coarser than cotton. You can tell just by looking at them usually. They look loosely woven so you can spot them right away! It's gorgeous! :D ;) ;)

Beautiful quilt! I THINK it's a 1930's-ish era quilt, am I correct? Could you please tell me how it is binded? 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.
