Bushfire sewing: lots of links and what you can do

So today, I have realised in the last 24 hours I have gone through many many phases.

Horror, fear, indignation, abandonment, prayers, acceptance, submission, service and hope, hope, hope as I sew these blocks.

I am sharing links for anyone that wants to contribute fabric, wool, batting, quilt tops, QAYG blocks, orphan blocks, crochet squares or crochet blankets as comfort quilts for the Australia wide bushfire zones.

Four blocks together, but they will have sashing before they are turned into a quilt.
