Cricket Quilts ... I'm not sure I understand your question. How large is the area you want to cover? Aloe vera gel doesn't really get the fabric very wet. If you use the gel to moisten the dry color before layering with batting and backing, it is no problem. The fabric is often dry within 5 minutes. If you are laying with cotton batting, it would never go through to the backing. I use wool batting a lot, but I'm not ever coloring a large area.
