I am betting those quilts were made from flour sacks, not feed sacks. Feed sacks would have been made from burlap, much too coarse for a quilt. ...

Nope, these were dog food feed sacks. I remember seeing the picture (printed picture) of a pointer on the sacks.

My uncles all hunted a lot and had numerous hunting dogs. These were the sacks their dog food came in, big 50-lb sacks. I think there may have been softer fabric on the reverse side, but I don't recall these being really coarse burlap, maybe a coarse cotton.

I can recall my mother buying flour in cotton sacks; they often came with a terrycloth washcloth or dishcloth attached to one end.
