I have just been reading up about using crayons to draw on the fabric, then you iron it to set the colour, is this how you made yours??

Yes Izy that is how I made it. It is somewhat time consuming and the colors are Brighter on white muslim. I am now sandwiching another G.Grd.Daughter,4yr.old Keyli's quilt of TinkerBell & fairies and Pixies. I will post when done. I also outlined the dinos with Black thread. It made them standout almost 3d.
I'm I reading this correctly? You drew a picture on fabric with crayons, then ironed it to set it into the fabric.?
That is so neat!
yes, Actually I printed out Dino color sheets from the internet. Then traced the pictures on the material using a pigma pen. Ironed them to set the ink. First coloring was on a soft pad. Second coloring and sometimes 3rd,was done with a sheet of sandpaper underneath. After each coloring either wax paper or white copy paper is used over picture and ironed. The heat picks up the wax and leaves the color. It amazed me how brillant the color was.
