Have used crayons on cotton fabric with great results.
You can even use thinly shaved pieces of Crayola and then heat set them. It gives a neat effect.
Remember to use Crayola as the cheaper brands just don't do as well. For the pennies Crayola costs, it is well worth it.

My DGD is a kindergarten teacher. She had all the kiddos color a block. The art teacher is retiring on Thur. She picked up the quilt yesterday. She helped me put it together and we had a great day doing it. She said "hey gram, this is fun". Maybe I will get a quilting partner yet... Here is a photo of her and the quilt. She had 88 blocks when she had all of them done. These were colored by 5 yr olds.
This was done on 100% cotton.

I have taught this class...
first wash some regular muslin to remove oils, dirt finishes, etc..
the iron onto freezer paper...
use only real crayolo crayons...trace your design onto the muslin using a sharp #2 pencil, or a micron pen if you want the black to show...like a stained glass, etc.
color lightly building up color as you go..you can even shade if you like...mixing colors, etc...
the place a thick white paper towel over the crayon and press...not too hot, but hot...let cool and color again...
you do this until you achieve the look you want..
I just love it..great for holiday stuff...

My mother made a baby quilt using plain old crayolas in 1931. She heat set it. The material is 100% cotton and the colors are vivid today. Unfortunately, the material is worn thin and has holes in it.
