July CQ Block started

Before I started work on piecing quilt tops for our Aussie Heroes, I needed to get this block done. Once I've got these CQ blocks pieced, it doesn't take long to embellish them; it's the getting started that takes time! The theme for my July block is "July 4 with Aussies on side". Sorry, it's a bit of a pun, and a bit silly, but I couldn't help adding an Aussie touch - after all, our flag is also red, white and blue! Why should the Americans have it all their way? (Waving to my American bloggy friends :-)
