Hi, Im Rosanna from Arkansas and have a few hundreds Crown Royal blue Flannel sacks that liquior came in. My nephew wants me to make him a quilt with them and I am lost. I need some help . He want me to make sure the embroidered gold Crown Royal letters are left on bag to create design. Does anyone have any ideas. This is just my 3rd quilt . Thank you for any help at all. Im tapped out of ideas.

Hello Rosanna, welcome from northern Minnesota!

Sorry, I don't really have any ideas for you but will be interested to see what others have to say.

Wow, I would love to make something from these, it is such a unique piece of fabric. Figure out what size square you can capture from the bag and then look for a quilt block that has a center square that size. Then you can find a complimentary fabric(s) to go with it based on the block you selected. If you have any left over at the end that you would like to sell let me know!!!! Good luck it will be beautiful.

Thank You All for your thoughts and help. I went to the web site that Midge suggested and printed out info. I also found a picture of one already made for sale on ebay and got the picture now in my mind. I think I have 2-300 bags so maybe I can make a queen both top and bottom. I appreciate your help very much. Maybe when I get it done I'll take a picture and post it. , Rosanna

I would choose a block that has a focal--like in the middle of a star--even a simple friendship star. And just choose complimentary colors and fabrics to go with. Look in mystery quilt search as I just posted one that would work for you. Here is the page. http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-55717-1.htm
