Aussie Hero Quilt started.

Started this quilt yesterday and due the same time as the female dancing quilt (end of June). This one is for a male, request is for blue, fishing, Southern Cross.
In the light blue squares I will either hand drawing or making appliques for bait, reels and other fishing items (not decided how I will do them yet) and in the long blue panels on either side I will be drawing or appliqueing fishing rods. The Southern Cross stars will be appliqued on the back.

Batting And Sewing.

 I thought I might share how I have my batting stored. I do this for all the fabric rolls I have.
I get 2 kitchen garbage bags, the kind that is on a roll, using two bags one on each side, cut the handles and bow them to each other. This makes them easy to keep dust free, plus these are lemon scented! Larger rolls? Use larger bags.
Quilt top complete. Ready to sandwich together with pins. This is how I have it on my table.
