Linda's Medieval Quilt

Linda's Medieval Quilt - The basic pattern is Attic Window. These blocks were made on muslin, which was pressed onto freezer paper. Designs were transfered to each of the 80 blocks, using a light-box (homemade) and a Sharpie marker. All but one of the blocks was then colored using Crayola Crayons, then the freezer paper was removed from the back of each block, turned over and used to heat set the crayons into the muslin. I hadn't actually tried to wash a block made this way, so did one after I got about 64 of the blocks back and it worked...the crayons don't wash out after being heatset. The blocks are of dragons, princesses, castles, knights in armor, weapons and a few others. The quilt is queen-sized and is being made for a midwife friend of ours who was recently diagnosed with Acute Myelogenic Leukemia. This has truly been a labor of love.
