I did a wall hanging, early this year, for a School Raffel Fund Raiser, it was called "Under the Sea". It turned out so cute. It had a 'sand' bottom and then the sea in blue layers, and yes I used batiks, even found some with sea creatures in it, think they were whales, gentle curve can be sewn then trimed and clip heavy. my pattern added
little pieces of added seaweed on the bottom. I'm sorry I can't share of pic with you of what I did...a computer virus ate all my pictures from the last ten years
