Donation And Next Aussie Hero Quilt In Progress.

 I received these lovely cottons on Saturday from a lovely lady at my cloth doll club. Thank you so much.
 This is the next Aussie Hero quilt in progress.
 The request is for Nth Q.L.D Cowboys and Brisbane Broncos. The pictures will be turned into applique and put onto white fabric and the blocks will be joined with the same fabric as the centre square as it has both gold and yellow in it. This is the colour that will unify the teams. The blocks have been quilted curvy for the wife's team and straight masculine lines for his team. and the centre block will have both curves and straight lines in it.
