Aussie Hero special blocks... & a thankyou...

W don't send of quilts to the Aussie Heroes for any special attention. We do it to support the special people who are out there protecting us.
I was lucky enough to receive a thankyou for my Busta quilt..
My Hero also shared it on Facebook (which I am not) .. But it was also put on the Aussie Hero blogpost.
If you want to read some thankyou messages from the heart have a read and look at this post.

Here is Sarah with her quilt... I think she likes it.

THANK YOU TO OUR HEROES...

I made these fun Aussie animal blocks. They measure 10" and will be trimmed to 9.5".
I liked the look of them in what I hope seems like it is a photo.
Remember years ago we had the instant polaroids.
That was my aim.
 Look at my toes poking out..

 I was out with the measuring so they became straight on squares.

And the group of blocks


Next I worked on some cute Poppy blocks.
They measure 7"
