I am busy tonight working on this Quilt!  It's a Block of the Month Called;  "A Tisket, A Tasket" by the Quilted Basket!  Designed by Ann M. Wanke. These fabrics are reproductions of 1930's feed sacks. I love quilts that tell a historic story!  The story on the Windham fabric website states..."Printed floursacks, (and feedsacks) were a tradition beginning in the great depression, but lasted into the 1950's. It is estimated that by the early 1940's over 3 million women and children were wearing some version of a printed feedbag garments"  My husbands Grandmother made quilts from floursacks  or feedsacks from the 1930's.  Those quilts are still in the family.  I look forward to making my own.  I'll post my progress soon!  Better get back to quilting!
