mcmullen Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Have any of you made a quilt,etc. out of these bags? I have washed and cut apart the bags and plan on making four patch blocks.Not sure if fabric is flannel or not(washed like flannel) .Should I use some sort of foundation/stabilizer behibd these? I'm thinking cotton batiste to stabilize? Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quiltmonkey Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 I've not made a quilt with CR bags but I have read that you need to stabilize (perhaps iron on fusible) prior to cutting to size and piecing (similar to what's done with tshirt quilts) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaildrake Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 i JUST GOT OFF THE PHONE WITH MY FRIEND WHO SAID THE BAGS WERE WASHED, THEN CUT INTO THE SIZE YOU WANT TO USE. BECAUSE THE BAGS ARE FLANNEL SHE DID NOT HAVE TO DO ANYMORE EXCEPT SEW THEM TOGETHER. NO FUSEING. HOPE THIS HELPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly Posted June 8, 2009 Report Share Posted June 8, 2009 I have made a quilt with the bags before. I prewashed them and pressed and cut them. I didn't use any interfacing. I bought some cheap flannel to put with it. I figured there was no sense in putting good flannel in the quilt because the bags were not made of good flannel. I figured that it would wash and wear the same. I ended up making a rail fence with the monogram in the center log. It turned out really well. Good luck!!

laststitchstudio Posted June 9, 2009 Report Share Posted June 9, 2009 I made one with 99 bags for a bartender that had collected them for years. Often wonder if he drank all those bottles. I cut my to size and backed them with fusible interfacing, like making a tee shirt quilt Looking for the pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
