I finally got a picture last night of the Crown Royal block I made last week. It's a churn dash pattern and uses 2 bags per block. Crown Royal is an alcohol that the bottle comes in a purple bag and has the name embroidered across the front. I made the block 12 1/2" and I figure using a 7x9 layout I will need 63 blocks for a total of 126 bags. I probably have that many since my dad has a friend who works in a bar and sent a whole bunch to him so I could make the quilt. This is my test block since I wanted to know if the black would be okay and how much fabric I could get out of the bag.
What a fantastic idea. My grampa always drank Crown Royal and he'd give us the bags as kids to store marbles and junk in.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what they would otherwise do with the bags at the bars... throw them out I suppose?!?
That's really sharp!!
ReplyDeleteI get a few from a family friend once in awhile, and I put the foot control for some of the sewing machines I have in them. They also work good for little travel irons.
ReplyDeleteYour block looks great!
Moneik did you test to see if it would bleed ? The block looks great .
