My crayon quilt
 

After seeing Tartan's crayon quilt and mme3924's crayon quilt, I decided to make one. Here it is. This will be one of four youth quilts I donate to our guild's charity committee, as they put out a "We need more quilts for young people" alarm last month.

I think some young person will like it. I sure hope so. I thought it was a good use of scraps, until I realized most of my scraps are blue and purple, or maybe earth tone. I had to do some digging to find scraps for the crayon colors I wanted, and eventually had to borrow orange scraps from my sister. :)

That turned out really well, Dina. Congratulations on a great finish!

Love it! I too decided I had to make one after seeing Tartan and mme3924's quilts. How big is yours?

Mine is 43 inches by 49 inches. I think they each had seven crayons, but mine has six. :)

I like it!!!

Nice use of your scraps. This is a very cheerful quilt.

That turned out so cute. It will make some child very happy. It couldn't be any more cheerful.

very nicely done

loving the crayon quilts!

Love all the colors and yours is great!

really cute quilt!!!

very bright and cheerful. great finish

what a special quilt

Another job well done Dina !!

Really cute! The children are going to all want one.:)

Super. How large is the top of your crayon? Great way to use scraps. BrendaK

So cute!! Great job!!

It is six inches...

Excellent! I love it. I have plans to make 1 or 2 for Grandkids. I'll keep yours as an example!

It's really pretty.

Very cute, great use of colors!

Wow! I sure like your quilt - and thanks for giving me another quilt idea for our youngest grandson :thumbup: Although paintmejudy has helped me use up quite a few scraps, I bet I could muster up enough to make one of these (or else I'll just have to go out again and buy MORE fabric :D). Some child will sure be happy with your quilt.

Love your colors!

Nice! I really like the colors against black. A crayon quilt is on my want-to-do list and I can see how it'd take some time to get that many different colored scraps gathered up. At least for me.

I am inspired to make one too. Great use of scraps. Now I have to buy some black! Thank you for sharing a picture. Love these crayon quilts.

Beautiful! Love it.

That's cute.

Thanks for the nice comments. :) I am going to sew a label on it today and then give it to my guild's charity committee.

You quilters keep it up and I am going to have to try one myself. CUTE>

I love this. Great for any child.

Good job and you're right the children will love it.

Oh I like this!!

Really a cute quilt and so appealing to a child or young person. I am sure that charitable quilts for this age group are harder to come by. I think it might be nice to make "crayons" from scraps as you do other items. They would be ready quickly to make a quilt for an individual who 'needs' a quilt to hug.

That came out so cute. I'm sure some young person will love it!

Wonderful quilt - and the red border really sets it off.

What a great quilt. Can't wait to make one. Thanks for sharing...

Very pretty !!!

This is interesting. I could make it and embroider our grandson and his wife and the four kids on the six crayons. I will have to look into this when I get home.

Just adorable.
