Crown Royal Bag quilt
 

Here is a picture of the layout I want to use to make a quilt for a customer--using crown royal bags. Havent quite got the measurements figured out exactly--bcs the customer does want to leave the gold trim on --so I'm working around that. :)

if you visit the picture area & search crown royal quilts you will find a few pictures---browsing google images for crown royal quilts will bring you many more to inspire you-
here's the link to one here on the board that is really nice-

Wow you certainly have your work cut out for you. Maybe you can use the gold in the trim area. Good luck.

I'm hand quilting a Crown Throw right now. I never use the gold though. I fussy cut the centers to use as centers of star blocks and such...very popular! Sold a couple on eBay around the holidays...good seller!

Just perfect, you have your work cut out for you and thank you for sharing
Have a Blessed night

Very creative idea

Would have never thought to use Crown Royal bags--I remember I used to see them all over the house when I was young. Had I known.....lol

Sorry, don't think I would spend my time making one.

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 ...
