Breeding silkworms!

Hi all, I am trying to hatch my first batch of silkworm eggs. I had a bunch of silkworms who turned into moths and laid eggs back in August. The eggs spent a week or 2 at room temperature, then I put them in the fridge for a month, and now for like 2 weeks I've kept them in a small exo terra with heat lamp, the temp stays at about 84. (28 C). None had hatched so far. Did I mess them up by putting them in the fridge? If yes, how can I prevent it in the future? If not, how long will they take to hatch?
 
If they don't nspent at least two months in the fridge they will take a lot longer to hatch. Have the eggs lightened in color?
