Quilting Arts magazine announces a reader challenge<\/a> in every issue.\u00a0 The current challenge is called ‘Art in the Park’ and is to make an 8″ x 8″ art quilt with the theme of ‘enjoying the park’.\u00a0\u00a0 My immediate thought was kids on swings in a playground.<\/p>\n

\"DSCN3436\"<\/a>I created my two kids on swings first (sorry, no photos of that part) then started thinking about the background.\u00a0 I wanted a background that looked park-like and that contrasted well with the kids.\u00a0 None of my fabrics seemed suitable – they were too dull, or too dark or too bright.\u00a0 It occurred to me to use black and white prints – they would contrast well with the colorful kids.\u00a0 Then I remembered I recently bought some wax crayons with the intention of using them to color fabrics.\u00a0 (I’ve used colored pencils to add shadows or highlights, but hadn’t used wax crayons.)<\/p>\n

\"DSCN3427\"<\/a>I picked some fun black & white prints, and applied fusible web to the back.\u00a0 I added some details with a black permanent marker (such as the tops of the picket fence), then colored with the crayons.\u00a0 To set the color, I put a couple of layers of paper towel over the colored fabric, then applied heat with the iron.\u00a0 Then I did it again, to make sure no further color came off on the paper towel.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Then I fused the background pieces to a piece of batting 8.5″ x 8.5″.\u00a0 The kids were positioned on the background and fused.\u00a0 I added a backing fabric, then quilted with black thread.\u00a0 I’m thrilled with how well it turned out.\u00a0 I think I’ll be using crayons again in the future.<\/p>\n
