I have quite a few of them that were given to me. I have started taking them apart - and if any of you know how to figure out which thread to pull to make the gold thread come out all at once, please let me know. I have picked each stitch out and have quite a stack of fronts, backs and sides. My son wants me to make him a quilt out of them. There are different size bags and in order to get a center block with the "crown royal" centered in it, it has to be pieced. FUN!?!?!?!? I have made several star blocks for him to choose from - I used batiks as the second fabric.

I could not find any information on working with them so just decided to experiment. I put a bunch of them in the washer on cold and tossed them into the dryer afterwards - figured I didn't have too much to lose - guess what? They came out perfectly.

This project has been on the back burner for the past couple of years - maybe it's time to take it out and get back to work on it ...
