Applique Flowers and Bugs

I finished the hand applique and piecing in November of last year, so it hasn't waited too long to be quilted. I had a bit of wool pieces that were browns and neutrals, so i decided to use them here. Threw in a bit of color, also. It's about 67 x 80"

The background of the blocks are old feed sacks that i scored at a neighborhood auction some time ago.

This feed sack shows St. Louis MO on it. there are a couple other blocks that have some wording showing.

Some of the feed sacks still have the stains from long ago, too.
