Suggestions for Crown Royal Quilt
 

My nephew has a friend who wants me to make him a quilt out of his Crown Royal bags. Has anyone on here done a quilt with the bags. Any suggestions or tips? Should I use some type of foundation on the back? Any help will be most appreciated.

I tried to quilt one for a friend once. She had set it together with satin. I tried to quilt a sample and it left pulled threads on the satin so I refused to quilt it. I was afraid that I would mess it up. The bags have a gold serged thread and that might be a problem when your foot goes over it. I have one bag that was thrown out in my yard if you need extras.

there have been several pictures on the QB of the crown royal bags. you can search through Advanced Search above.

How much Crown Royal do you need to drink to make a quilt from the bags? (Let me know so I can get started.):p

I remember those purple bags. I agree but are they sort of a velvet??? This will be very interesting to see what you come up with for a pattern !!! Cute Dunster. Can I come over and help ????

Oooooh Dunster, how many volunteers do you need to drink the Crown Royal for enough bags. Although I'll only Be drinking for medicinal reasons (HA,) I'll help!

I have made 3 CRQ. I did 2 "rag style" and 1 with blocks. I gently washed & dried the bags first. Slit them in the middle and back (after removing the "closure ties"). Open them up and Starched heavily. Iron. Check the size of the bag to get size of your blocks. Cut all bags in the same size. I was careful sewing over the gold threads. They went together pretty easily. I used bags with a purple flannel.
The two guys I made the rag quilts for are still very satisfied. Washes good after completion.

Thanks for the information, it is greatly appreciated.
