Feed sack pillows

These pillows will soon be on their way to an auction which will benefit a children's home.  They are made of old feed sacks (which I am in love with).

 The first one is appliqued and pieced with a vintage-looking blue solid background.

 On the back there is a red accent band with three covered buttons to hold it closed...

 and the same red for the piping around the edge.  I love piping, but don't like sewing it on so much.

The other pillow is made up entirely of little feed sack squares.  They finish off at 1 1/2 inches.  The back of this pillow has a red zipper closure.
