2 quick notes - After you’ve done your initial wash/fix try adding the print to another wash containing water with a splash of hydrogen peroxide (maybe 1/2 oz to a gallon of water) to instantly oxidize the print to give a much deeper blue color.
Also after you’ve finished washing your print you can try toning the print with tea, coffee or a variety of other materials: http://www.alternativephotography.com/multi-colored-cyanotypes/

In Richmond the Visual Arts Center recently broke the record for largest cyanotype. You can buy the dye directly and soak fabric in it, or coat paper in it, at any size, which is pretty cool.

Thanks for the reminder! I wrote this (pretty specific) blog post about sun printing with transparencies–please enjoy : )
(http://blogs.britannica.com/2013/08/celebrated-summer-making-sun-prints-transparencies/)
I usually expose a cyanotype for 2-5 minutes, depending on the strength of the sunlight. You can use longer exposure times if the image is dense or dark.
