I was reminded of Eleanore Burns and her egg money quilt http://www.quiltinaday.com/television/dscr2700.asp

When I was young you could always tell if you had a flour sack dress if it wasn't all the same material. Like a pinafore would have the body out of one material, the shoulder ruffles and bottom ruffle out of another.
