Without matching the fabric to a known feedsack (one that is intact or documented) it is almost impossible to know it is a feedsack only based on a photos. Patterns were sometimes used on both yardage and feedsacks. They are fun pieces and I'm sure you'll enjoy working with them!YankeeQuilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03324287185970922332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1118067118933182266.post-1220786536760682572014-03-25T11:01:30.686-04:002014-03-25T11:01:30.686-04:00I bet that house was lovely in its day.

...What a great gift quilt! Love the flip flop too.<br />Great arcs you received - I love that fabric too and I'm curious as well. Have you ever seen the snake setting? it's fun and different.<br />I didn't know you were a real estate agent! I always thought I'd enjoy it, but then I remember the 5 times I've bought and how stressful it is. Poor old house. I hope someone will fix it up and breath new life into it.Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08619642267222624728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1118067118933182266.post-29567957039787640642014-03-24T12:42:05.880-04:002014-03-24T12:42:05.880-04:00The fabrics look like the 30's/40's - mayb...The fabrics look like the 30's/40's - maybe even into the 50's - these kinds of fabrics are called "feed sacks". Sugar, flour and feed were sold in them. You'll see lots of old scrappy quilts made with this type of fabric.

Can feel the sun from the wonderful beach scene and am excited over the arcs sent to you, which will be fun to create with. As neat as restoring is--I get exhausted even contemplating it ( won't that take away from sewing time?--Haha!).

If you do find out about it I hope you post. I am curious as to its origins. Doesn't really look like the 30's fabrics I usually see.<br />That house makes me want to know about renovations so that I could work on it. I love the character in old homes.
