    Coffee makes a darker more durable color.
    You might look into dyes on the internet, before you finally decide. Stamping designs on them is another possibility.
    Also there are ways to paint them and then quilt around the painted patterns.

    Someone asked me for contact info on Cooper's.

    I found this:

    http://www.coopersbestflour.com

    They have a 'contact us' tab with information on ordering. However, I did not notice any flour on their products page. You would need to contact them and ask.

    I found some flour sacks with the stitching still in them in the fabrics I'd saved after my mother's death (in 1988). Our basement had water on the floor this spring. I had to wash the fabrics I'd left in boxes on the floor, and found these. I was elated. They are being saved for something special...don't know what, yet.
