Color quilt blocks

Ok to explain the color blocks and how it works.  
We iron freezer paper to some high thread count fabric and then with pigma pens traced pages out of coloring books. These traced pages are then lined up and wait for children to attend the school house on a specific day where we provide Crayola crayons to color the drawn fabric pictures. We ask the children to put there name and age on the block they color.
Then we take paper towels and place over the picture and iron so that the wax comes out and the color stays in the fabric. These are hung up and displayed the week of fair and then taken down and put into wall hangings that are silent auctioned at the next years fair.
It is a nice little fund raiser it does not bring in lots and lots of money but some and give the children a free activity at the county fair.
