There have been magazine articles recently on the possibilities of using crayons for quilt blocks. One was wildly colored tropical fish, another was flowers with shading and a bit of machine embroidery. Two of my sisters are retired first grade school teachers and I asked for the benefit of their experience. The sum of their suggestions were: apply a heavy coat, scrape off lots with any sharp object allowed; rub some on you face and clothes, wipe the remaining scrapings onto the floor. Track as much as possible to all surrounding areas. I might be too old for this. Have any of you tried crayon blocks? Polly
