Next Aussie Hero Quilt.

My next Aussie Hero quilt request is  for flowers and purple. Hand painted and quilted blocks. The rest will be plain blocks with shades of purple. Having fun with my new paints.

Present Finished.

This is a quilt I have made for my Grand Nephew, it is going to England when my sister comes here for work next month.

Shopping And Quilt Continued.

 In the Op shop (Vinnies, South Morang) today I bought these pens, all with 2018 on them for the packages to go with the quilts and laundry bags. 9 packs of 5 for $9.

 For myself I bought all these acrylic paints and opaque paints. Total cost, $40.

This is the quilt so far. All the solid blocks will have colours pulled out from the green background, mustard yellow and a blue. Meggie is helping. This is not the layout.

Quilt For My Grand Nephew.

Today I cut out all the pieces for my Grand Nephews quilt. I am changing it up a bit but it is from Happy Quilts by Antonie Alexander. Hound Dog quilt.

I am using wool for the dog from mens jackets. I cut the pieces larger than needed and washed and dried it and then put a stabilizer on the back then cut them out. Blanket stitched down. I will be using buttons for eyes that will be stitched and glued down. My sister is coming to Australia for work and will be taking the quilt back with her. I am love with it already.

Aussie Hero Quilt Continued.

This time because the blocks are staggered they will be joined together in long groups instead of going across.
