i love your first page!
i use colored pencils and inktense pencils also but i don't do (art-quilts) i dye alot of my own fabrics and play with color/design alot- the pencils are great for highlighting and enhancing- and just great fun!
when you wet the colors- and blend them they are then permenent when dry.

That is so neat. If your mother likes to do it give her a block a week, soon she will have made a quilt for a grandchild or you. I wish I would have known of this when my mother was alive.
