2) I am assuming that you use the old fashion "regular" Crayola crayons ?

3) And I think after you colored the material, you were suppose to put something (freezer paper, shiny side up or down?) over it to heat set it - is this correcct ? And which temperature ?

Thanks for any advice.

I had posted a crayola quilt I started where I used my own bird photos on the quilt. I used regular crayons and used a higher quality muslin, white fabric is so hard to find around me. I pre-washed the fabric.
