Back to School

It's time for another month of Quilt Block Mania! This month, dozens of designers are sharing FREE quilt blocks with a Back to School theme!

I created a FREE pattern for a crayons quilt block!

The crayons quilt block uses simple paper piecing, traditional piecing, and raw-edge applique.

I love the look of the colorful rainbow version made with solids, but any color palette would look great!

This crayon block would be a fantastic addition to a school-themed quilt, but you could also make several crayon blocks to make a long row of crayons. Or how about using them as a border around a panel?! Or use it on the side of a tote bag for a teacher!

I decided to use a mix of solids from my stash to make mine.

I'm always so giddy when I have the perfect Aurifil threads to match!

This is such a fun block!

You could even embroidery color names or kids' names on the crayons!

I see a teacher tote bag in my future!

Ready to make your own??

I can't wait to see your crayon blocks!
