BOLD STARS - swap quilt top completed

I have another quilt top finish to share, and the exciting part about this quilt is that it is made not only with blocks received in the 12 inch block exchange, but also from blocks received in the 6 inch block swap.  I have named this quilt Bold Stars.

In the last day or so I have come across this blog  AUSSIE HERO'S  The ladies involved are making and sending quilts and laundry bags to our Aussie men and women serving in Afghanistan.  As some of my friends would know, my son is in the Armed forces and was due to go to Afghanistan last June.  Thankfully, he got pulled off the trip only about a month before he was due to leave, which was quite a relief for all of us. But I never fail to shed a tear when I hear of the loss of one of our men.

I have decided to send this quilt to the Aussie Hero's ladies to forward on to one of the troops serving in Afghanistan as a gift from the lovely ladies of QBSA.

Some ladies have made both 6 and 12 inch blocks featured in this quilt.  I do have a couple of blocks that I had forgotten to record who has sent them to me, and for this I apologise.

Here are the contributors of the blocks that make up this quilt in no particular order:

Julie Deith, Carmen Johnson, Leanne Harvey,  Noelene Fraser x 2, Linda Gilli (centre block): Fiona Robinson, Anna Schuring x2, Larissa Hart x2 , Cheryl Murray x 4, Leena Liew x2, Coralie Wallace x2, Sharon Vroom x2, Robyn Larkin x2, Janet Rushant x2, Sally de Wijn x2, Sue Stubbings x2, Vanessa Roberts x2, Jolanda Pandiscia-Bressan x2, Lynette Peters x2, Catherine Richards and Sylvia Ulrich.

 If you have made me a bold star and your name is not here, let me know and I will add your name.

Thank you for your contribution
