AHQ in progress ready for a HERO

I have decided to do an urgent AHQ.
Request was for--- RED,WHITE & BLUE, Honda Racing, photos of recipient racing his own bike and some other emblems I don't know what they are so are not being included.
I started out with red, white & blue 2.5" strips and sewed them together like the well known Jelly Roll race. It was wide enough but not long enough for the specifics of an AHQ.




So I added a blue strip....
This was already in my cupboard. So when the request came in I knew I could do it easily. Without too much fuss.


Now to unpick the blue strip.
Print some photos, add an emblem appliqué, join them to fit and sew them back into the quilt.....

I am happy with what I have done with this AHQ. 
The photos are of the recipient at Phillip Island racing around the track.
By the sounds of it he loves his bike and racing as these photos were part of his request.
