My daughter asked me to make a "Crown Royal" blanket for her father-in-law's 70th birthday in January. He enjoys a drink of this. My daughter bought some purple Crown Royal bags off eBay (about 20 of them). They come in 3 sizes. A quickie is to buy 1-1/2 yards of gold fleece and 1-1/2 yds of royal purple fleece. I cut the embroidered Crown Royal wording from the bags and stitched them inbetween the two layers with a border of them around the perimeter and more in an oval in the center with a big one in the middle and cut out for a peek-a-boo for each one. The gold fleece is on top. I finished the edge with black fleece 2-1/2" border. He loved his "manly" blanket and it is very warm during our cold Michigan winters.
