Seems to me it was also an alphabet quilt. Does anyone else remember this one?

Thanks for the reminder about using the texture plates. I have some and have never used them. Now I will. :D

This tutorial is awesome! I think it deserves a bump. For people that have done this, is it preferable to use aloe vera gel or a gel medium bought at an art store? Anyone else have pictures they want to share?

I love my watercolor pencils and am so glad to have this tutorial on using them on quilt squares. I want to book mark this, but don't know how on this new forum. Can it be done? Could you snd me a pm or e-mail me at:
