I have been so interested in making a 50 state quilt. I have white Kona purchased and cut into 8 inch squares. The finished squares are going to be 6.5 inches. I cut them larger because, well, I’m not a very accurate cutter and will trim to size when done. Each Square is the state name and state flower. After tracing two squares I have realized that doing this as hand embroidery is going to be way more than I really want to attempt at this time. However, I took one of the squares and tinted it with crayons. It actually looks kind of good….for the first attempt…I will spend more time/effort on final
…I am concerned about doing the Crayon tinting without washing the fabric first. I know others have made quilts using crayons. Has anyone had any problems with the color washing out because of using new unwashed fabric?
