My Crayon Box


Eileen made this "My Crayon Box" quilt for one of her great nephews.  She found the pattern in the September/October issue of Quiltmaker magazine.  It is also available to purchase on the Quilting Daily website here.


Eileen selected the Galaxy pantograph as it reminded her of the shapes a child would make doodling with a fresh crayon.  The hardest part for me was suggesting an appropriate thread color.  I tested a couple of variegated threads, but they were too overpowering so So Fine #504 - Silver Screen was the perfect subtle light grey than wasn't as bright as white and didn't take over.


Eileen used a lovely peppered cotton on the back.
