Feedsack quilt

On Saturday, The Husband and I got out early to be among the first ones at the Big Flea Market at the Expo Center here in Fredericksburg. This show has 300 dealers (according to the advertisement) with a great assortment of things to see. Even though our house is full and we have just about everything we want, we still go to shows like this to look and learn and see what prices things are bringing these days.

It is a really nice representation of the colors of silk bubble crepe that were available. Crepe was all the rage for dress fabric during this time.

Here is a lovely quilt that you will rarely find on the market, a vintage feedsack scrap quilt. Now let me tell you-- I made this one. I used a vintage feedsack top and hand quilted it, using a cotton batting and a Mayhew print (Still can be found if you wanted to make matching pillowcases) on the backing.
