This is awesome! I'm picturing my students coloring blocks with this technique for a quilt project we're doing.

Gayle that is so cool! I didn't know that a regular old crayola could be used to do that. I remember ironing crayon drawings as a kid to make the color more intense, but never with fabric. It sounds like it might be a great way to preserve children's drawings too, by having them do it on cotton instead. Thanks for your tutorial!

Gel medium is different than aloe vera gel. Buy gel medium at Michael's or an art supply store.

This should be called FABRIC or TEXTILE medium.

I remember this...I think I printed the pattern way back then..
