    Reneebobby - glad the block arrived! No rush on the one you're sending. I completely understand the math-not-working issue. (Happens with my checkbook, too... hmmm.) :lol:

    Mad Quilter is right - it is so simple and lots of fun. I did a quilt last year with children doing all kinds of activities and donated it to St. Judes through the local Hancock Fabric Store. I guess the kid in me just likes to color so why not? I am working on a plaid cat quilt for my sister who is going through Chemotherapy and it really looks cool with the crayon colors. Try it - you may like it!

    Thanks for the info MadQuilter and Tam1960. Sounds very interesting. I already do fabric painting and colourque - does this mean I now have to buy crayons? I think it does!

    Make sure it's the Crayola brand (or some other high quality crayon). Apparently it doesn't work with the cheap ones.

    It's really great, I posted a mini I made on the site called my mini and I have a Mary had a little lamb done like this and than I embroideried around it.
