What are fun ways to make personalized quilt blocks?
I want to make 12X12 inch quilt blocks and need some fun creative ideas. I have never done this before, but want to personalize each block. This will be an Xmas gift and I don’t have a lot of spare time so I am not looking for time consuming ideas. Ideas? I know I can search the net, but what have some of you done to personalize and make special quilts? Will be for a five year old niece.
Give her a pack or two of Crayola fabric crayons ( available at Office Depot or craft stores ) and as many sheets of plain white paper as quilt blocks you want to make and have her draw pictures about her favorite things,people,activities etc. Use these drawings to make the quilt blocks by turning them face down on a piece of fabric ( a blend makes a more brilliant transfer than 100% cotton) and ironing the back of the paper at the temperature recommended on the crayon box. Maybe you can make one corner block with info like her age at the time of the drawings and who made it and gave the quilt to her.
