Just color it like you did when you were little only stay in the lines a lot more LOL. With the fabric pressed to the freezer paper, it's just like coloring in any coloring book. So long as you press out all the wax during that part of the process, the color acts like a dye, and will stay in the fabric. There are special fabric crayons, but I found they don't work nearly as well as good ole regular crayolas; plus they don't have near as many color choices. I bought a HUGE box of crayolas, and won't let the girls near them.
Another hint, get one of those cheapy hand held pencil sharpeners. The sharper your crayon stays the easier it is to color with, especially in small areas. And DO NOT use the gel, or special metallic crayons that come in the bigger boxes. They run like crazy and you'll have to re-do the block.
Most importantly HAVE FUN!!!
