File — Box: 5, Folder: 2
Scope and Contents
This feedsack textile is cheater cloth used for quilting. Cheater cloth was printed in popular quilt patterns (like Grandmother's Flower Garden) and was used to elimate time-consuming quilt top piecing. The cheater cloth sacks would be sewed together to create the quilt top and layered with batting and a quilt back. The quilt would then be quilted and bound by hand or machine.
