Just wanted to let you all know, I do plan to finish this quilt. Hopefully this winter. I would love to see what others have done since the tutorial was posted early 2012.

Thanks for your effort to give me and everyone the info about your quilt!! I am bookmarking it! jillnjo.

I know a lot of crayola crayons are washable now and won't stay in but what about the old time crayons, if you can still get them? Just curious.

As I remember reading somewhere, you need to use the original Crayola Crayons, not the washable kind. The originals apparently have more pigment in them. I am going shopping this morning and look for the BIG box of Crayola Crayons with all of the colors.

Yes you can still get regular Crayola's and please use the (name brand) Crayola Crayons. They give such a pretty effect. I have never tried fabric crayons, and after completing the first 3 squares I'm happy with the way the regular ones blend.

Oh Janice! I am Thrilled, Thrilled, Thrilled that you posted this and showed us how you did it! I adored your blocks and this is just so great of you to clue us in on the process! Thanks!

You are very talented, looks like the orginal. I can't draw anything.
