The ones I've seen used applique sunbonnet sue patterns for the outlines, then colored with fabric crayons (or even regular crayons too). They put different textured stuff underneath the fabric when they colored to make different patterns - like window screening, sand paper, etc. They were really cute! I think they heat set them with an iron, and must have used something, paper toweling?, to soak up the extra wax.
Good luck!

Alex Anderson had a great show on coloring blocks for a child's quilt. This is an old technique that's a lot of fun.

Or did you want to make real crayons?
When you google crayon quilt patterns there are a ton of sites to visit. I may have to color my next quilt. :lol:

Thanks for all the response so far. I was originally thinking of the quilts that are colored using crayons but the other ideas sound good too. You are all too helpful some days. :wink: More ideas than time. Oh well - all any of us have is TIME right?????

I have a pattern that came with a ruler I bought once that is for a crayon quilt.. or box of colors.. I forget the exact name. It is three long vertical strips with wide sashing between them. The strips are made up of lots of smaller horizontal strips in many colors. It gives the illusion of a box full of crayons.
