To billsbonbon.
I made her star log cabin and it turned out so well. Love it.
I did it in blues and whites with burgundy stars.
Never have a problem with her patterns they always come out so nice.
Just finished her jewel box pattern and it is beautiful.

I just bought a box of crayons for quilting at the quilt show.
Am going to look for a color book to use, didnt know about ones on the web.

i have heard of using crayons on blocks before, but do you have to have a certain kind? and do you wash or iron after coloring? thanks.
beautiful quilt and great attic windows. looks like the whole thing is one big printed panel, such precision. :wink:

Billsbonbon - you are so creative! I love your quilt! I have never heard of using pictures and coloring them on blocks!

I made 2 and gave directions on how I made them. First thread is Eriks My GGson's Dinosaur quilt and next is GGD Keyli's Tinkerbell and pixies.. . Thank you for the compliment. I hope this helps if not pm me. There is a certain kind to use but I didn't like them. It was not really for cotton. Just didn't like them. Not bright enough and only 8 colors or was it 6 don't remember I gave them away. I used Crayola crayons. I do have a paint medium I am going to try tomorrow on a sample block that is suppose to keep the color from fading. I will post my results when I do. They are fun to make.
