I just thought, wouldn't that be a great keepsake for my granddaughter, to make a rag quilt from some of them. I hate to cut them up, but I just have them in storage and this way they can be seen. What would you do?
I think you should send the flour sacks to me... just kidding

I would have them appraised first.. they could be valuable as flour sacks? I know there was a time the antique glass was a hot item. Having grown up in Bristol I probably have some of the same "items" pack away for future grandkids

I do love the ideal of using old clothes.. I have made a rag quilt using old jeans.. turned out very nice
