Today I'm working on a braid panel quilt for the Aussie Hero quilt program. i'e just about finished the first panel.

I just knew I had to make one too. Mine isn't goign to be all braided though.
I didn't have a pattern or anything so I just made it up as I went along. As a result, my braid is probably much skinnier.
Mike says he thinks it's too flowery for a male soldier, so I hope there is a female soldier who has requested a quilt too. I was going for green and gold (the sahing will be a golden yellow) and these were the fabrics I had.
I'm not sure I'll have enough of these fabrics for two more panels, so I may have to rethink the green and gold theme, or go buy some more fabric. Who am I kidding? Of course I'm goign to go and buy more fabric. LOL
See you agian soon
