Fabric Marking Experiment

I recently read that fabric marking can be done with these washable markers. I wanted to try it out!

My fabric is a strip of flannel and I drew a line of each of the ten colors on it. 


I'll let the lines stay on the fabric until Sunday and will wash the fabric. Will they all disappear? I hope so because if these markers work, they'll be the funnest marking tools ever for our quilts!
