Spring into Quilts with Crayons

My recent studio project started on Friday after I came home early from work while a snowstorm tormented our city. Trust me, I could think of a million things to do in my studio (purse orders, Spring line, a fashion article that I'm behind on) but I was in a very nesty frame of mind....and I needed a taste of Spring to pull me out of it. So, with a cup of hot tea in hand I pulled out my big box of 64 crayons and began to work on a series of 18" x 22" quilt blocks...  

Back up, reverse that. Did he say Crayons? YES!...and Crayola to be specific.

First let me begin with the fact that I have never really embraced quilting. I've made a few table runners, and some small Holidays projects in the history of gerald, but never a full blown quilt.
My first attempt at quilting from a serious perspective was this past Holiday when I created a one of a kind tree skirt for my mother...I will post pictures of that project after I get the proper permissions. (wink)
As a professional sewer I attacked the tree skirt project with full vigor. I purchased all of the necessary tools, attachments and watched several online tutorials. Lets just say I gave it my full approach....and I loved it.

The blocks I'm creating have very little cutting and sewing. It starts with the use of crayons and a hot iron. You merely draw on the fabric while its hot, lay a press cloth over it and allow the press cloth to soak up the residual wax from the crayons...easy peasy. Yea right....
My plan is to create 9 blocks....slap a boarder on them....and sew them together to create the top.
So....stay tuned to future updates....and wish me luck.
