Lucky girl! Those fabrics were so popular that they still reproduce them. Check out the prices for authentic feedsacks from the 30's: http://www.rickrack.com/antqfile1a.html

Candace-what a gift! To remove stains in older fabrics I have found a soaking in hot water (yes those feed sack fabrics can handle it!) and BIZ overnight. Then rinse in cold water and air dry. Not afraid to machine dry the fabric, but since it's cut, MD would encourage raveling. G

Thanks, I'll wash it well after it's assembled. Luckily any staining is on the darker fabrics and you really can't notice it.

Candace, I have a lot of pieces like the Diamond shapes.. they are large pieces and old fabric like yours .. I think.

These are my favorite vintage fabric styles. Lucky you!

Jane, if they're the same size as mine I can try to help you piece them if you're interested. For mine, I just had to cut 4 in. squares for the corners and 4" 1/2 triangles for the sides.

Candace - What a beautiful job you've done on these stars. Clever of you to put the sashing and make them all uniform. Can't wait to see what you'll make with these.
