    Oh, Darn. I just finished a quilt bag for a snowmobile helmet and it's made from the front of Royal Crown Bags. The purple materil with gold thread is eye catching. I would have liked to submit it as I first had to take the bags apart and make them into a flat piece of material then make a pattern for the helmet bag, then sew it up and add a drawstring closure. It came out really nice. I would have submitted it but for the logo...........
