Tartan

The original pattern is called Color Me Happy! It came as a free insert with American Patchwork & Quilting October 2014. It was designed by Emily Herrick and the picture was on a white background with longer, narrower crayons.
I changed the crayon size and coloured background for my version. A super pattern for using up scraps and you can make your crayons to the size you want.

Tartan... after rummaging through my scraps this afternoon I am impressed with your selection of fabrics & colours. When I make mine I think the sections will need to be varying widths as I have strips at 1 ¼" and 1 ½" etc.... also mine won't be so dramatic as I'll need to use a light background, because my backing fabric is a white background.
Have you gone any further with yours?

I would bind it in the red - nice quilt

I sandwiched and started the quilting today. I used my walking foot to stitch around the crayons using black thread. I put a black backing on with little multi coloured bits on it. I will FMQ on the crayons using the same coloured thread as the crayons I think. I am still thinking on if I want to try to get a balanced stitch with the coloured thread on top and black on the back or just put the same colour thread on the spool and bobbin and have the FMQ more visible on the back. I decided not to add a border and will probably use the pencil fabric for binding.
Use what scraps you have and make it your own. The original pattern had a white background and it looks really nice.

I have decided to quilt the ribbon candy FMQ down each crayon in matching thread. Since I want my ribbon to be in the center of one piece and then the line of the next, I am giving myself stickers to aim for. I could stick on pieces of painters tape but I thought the stickers I wouldn't have to cut.I was going to use yard sale round stickers from the $ store but they must just be available in the summer so these Valentine stickers will work. I will use them until the sticky wears off and then I will pin them. [ATTACH=CONFIG]509572[/ATTACH]

Looking good Tartan! I am trying out a red crayon today, just out at the desk to print out a "point" to paper piece. I was looking for a project to kit up for the summer but I don't think this is it. I usually do blocks so will look at the stack of patterns I've got here to decide on that. Thank you for showing us your progress on this colourful fun project.
