Alex Anderson had a great show on coloring blocks for a child's quilt. This is an old technique that's a lot of fun.
In almsot any bigger city in the USA, you may see school projects using the Crayon Quilt idea displayed in the malls. Plenty of elementary school teachers let their classes make quilt blocks by this method and they can tell a story in a mural or just make a collage for the homeless shelters. I have seen some pretty sophisticated ideas carried out by kids.
Can you imagine how fun it would be for students who got to do these things in class?!?! Knowing my clutz nature, I would be the one burned by the iron. Right now I have blisters on two fingers and my *elbow* of all places!! But I never cross two seams without pressing, pressing, pressing.
I always wondered if the crayon coloring would fade in time, but someone has to try it to see.
