Hi,
I was talking to my friend on the phone this evening and her uncle wants her to make a quilt like his mom made years ago.
Highway thru Texas with flower sacks
Anyone know about this pattern design?

found this article on feedsack quilts, really cool and will make you laugh, enjoy
I have never seen a quilt made up with them and I will need to start looking at the antique stores to see if I can find them.
If anyone has any pictures of them that you have would love to see them.
