Quilt In Progress.

This is the quilt so far. All the blocks have been made, I laid it out and placed the blocks in 4 rows of 7. Happy with my layout so I have stacked them in order. Fabric backing strips are 1 inch wide by 10 inches long, and 3 strips are 1 inch wide by 10 inches long to go in between the rows.
The top strips are 2 inches wide. The binding for the whole quilt will be in black.
First I will join them together row by row, then strip by strip.

Aussie Hero Quilt In Progress.

 The quilt I am making is for a female with no preferences, so I am doing another quilt as you go with the orange wattle fabric as a center strip. The strips on the side of the wattle fabric go next to the wattle on the block then the rest come from the bin. All the blocks on the back is a pale peach with white and they will have coloured joining strips and the front will have black so that it looks like stained glass. The bin on the side has all the scraps and left over batting from previous quilts. The batting will be butted up and joined with iron on interfacing to make a block sized piece. Each block will measure 10 inches then a border will be added to the sides.

These are the blocks so far today.
