What is on my DESIGN FLOOR, Monday, April 2, 2012
Posted By drsao on April 2, 2012
This week I am BINDING Jannae’s Art Quilt. My grandangel is now 8 years old but she drew the blocks for her quilt when she was 5 and 6 years old. She colored her blocks using crayons and then the blocks were heat set using parchment paper as an iron guard!
I am also working on my second Carolina Crossroads – the FIRST MYSTERY QUILT that Bonnie Hunter of Quiltville.com offered. I love it and am making it again – but much larger the second time around! I have to finish it – it is my UFO for April…..LOL. I haven’t even finished making the blocks!

Go to Judy Laquidara’s Blog to see what quilters around the country are working on this week!

AND……..HAPPY APRIL – did you get fooled yesterday?
Your granddaughter’s quilt is so sweet-what a work of art! Love the Carolina Crossroads too
That is such a sweet quilt. I love the idea of using her art. I need to remember that for my little granddaughter 🙂
Do you plan to ever wash your granddaughter’s quilt and do you have any idea on how colorfast the wax crayons would be? This is such a NEAT idea and I have to agree with Chris, this is something I too would like to remember for my grandchildren.
