Aussie Hero Quilt Started.

Yesterday I started another Aussie Hero Quilt. This one is for a female, the description request was for a pink, blue, green pastel and floral quilt. every other block will be blue with white sashings and pink corner blocks. The binding will be green and the backing fabric I will show you on another post. I have another 2 requests after this all due by the end of June.

Today I have pinned and quilted it and tomorrow I will trim and add the binding and label.

Quilt Progress.

This is how I put the blocks together. I stitched them down in pairs.

 Then I added the last row.

 Keeping them joined, I stitched the rows together.

 Tilli says, "Enough mum!, Give me some attention". so I did!

 All the blocks are sewn, now I am adding the sashings, corner stones and guitars row by row. I am so happy with my table that I can keep them set out as I sew, no problems with getting the blocks out of order.

Aussie Hero Quilt Started.

I took the morning off to come up with a design and this is what I decided to do. Keeping the design simple. This is another Aussie Hero Quilt request. The request was  "8 year old boy, likes army soldiers and guitars". The guitars are hand drawn using fabric pens after I have made the blocks. The boy's name will be added as well with appliqued letters in red to tie the colours together. The backing I have not on decided yet.

 Aussie Hero quilt finished and will be posted on Wednesday.

This is the back, The background is white, but the lighting in my house is not great so it shows up darker than in real life, but you get the idea. The description on the quilt request is Old Cars, so this is perfect.
