The technique is so easy and really fun! It would be great for a baby shower, a wedding gift or a family reunion. All you need is a square of 100% cotton fabric (we used muslin) and some crayons. Any crayons will do. Color the square with bright, bold colors and keep away from the edges for seam allowances. Then take a second piece of fabric and lay it over the top of the finished square. Iron for 10 seconds on low heat, keeping the iron moving. Then quilt as you like.
I washed one of the squares and it faded a bit but still looked ok. I figure they are more of a keepsake quilt anyway and probably wouldn't get washed much. Try it, it's fun!
I finished the quilt today and it turned out great!
Carrie! I love it! What a great idea, I'm think I'm going to need to try that crayon technique on a few things myself. And you finished it so fast. Great block party!
