Soldier Quilt Block
#1
I've made a block for the soldier quilt Just One Star Project. On the directions it asks us to sign our block with a brown pigma pen. Hmmm, I don't have one and was wondering if anyone thought it would be ok to use a brown thin tip Sharpie instead?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I was wondering if black would be okay as that is the only color I have. But then thought if they want brown I will have to wait until I go shopping and try to buy a brown ink pigma pen.
I have one block completed but plan to make more. I think this is a great cause and hope they receive lots of blocks.

I mailed my blocks yesterday--made 9 of them. I just bought a brown pen at my LQS. I figured I can always use it. I have a black one that I've had for at least 5 years, and it hasn't dried up yet. It really doesn't take very much fabric and only a little of your time. Hope they get tons of blocks.

One of my friendship groups activities will be to make blocks next week. I did read about the brown pen and promptly forgot it, so this topic is timely.
I doubt if black or brown will be a deal-breaker on using the blocks, but since so many of us will be making them together, I think I'll invest in a brown pen.

The sharpie will wash out and be totally gone in about 2-3 washings.
I just used my black pigment pen. I don't even know where to find a brown one without mail ordering, and I'm not about to go through all that hassle just to sign "Bonnie MS" on some quilt blocks. My sig was so tiny I didn't figure it would matter. I'm sure they will be getting plenty of sigs in black.
