Another nice method but I draw the square line and FMQ in the petals on each side of the lines. If you look at the first picture, you can see the little chalk marks about an inch from the lines drawn. Those are for me to keep the petal sides consistent. I start at the top left corner and go across, then down the line and up the the other side of the line than the next top petal and so on. I can do the whole design in this manner in one continuous FM.

I probably would not use sidewalk chalk. It seems to have a greater density and may be very difficult to get out even in the white colour. I would not use any of the regular chalk colours other than white or the pale yellow.

Try a teacher's supply store! or Office Depot, Staples, Office Max. Most teachers' supplies stores may have the better deals!

Try the Dollar store.

I would suggest you NOT use the dustless variety of chalkboard chalk--it has an added "oil" to make it less chalky and could stain your fabric. Also, instead of wetting it to remove, try using a wad of netting or a Mr. Clean sponge thing (I haven't used Mr. Clean, but have been told it works well too).

I tried the dollar store, Walmart, and finally ended up ordering on Walmart.com to get the chalk I wanted.
