In 2010 I created the first original Block of the month for Aurifil and it was so much fun we've done it ever year since! 2018 is the start of my 8th year running this super fun program. Learn more about how it works at our intro of the 2018 team
When our April designer, Yvonne Fuchs, sent me her block sketch I might have gotten goosebumps, it is so cool!
DOWNLOAD the pattern at the end of the interview and come right back as I have a tip for my block!.
I have a question before i start my block.. read on!
Most of the time I can do the block to show you, this is one of those rare times when I had so many deadlines I just could not fit it in, grrr... did that ever happen to you?
As soon as this stretch of travel teaching is over I'm making her block first! Now my question....
Here are my first 3 blocks
I'm trying to decide where to put colors on my bridge.
By the way, did I ever tell you the shipping department LOVES bridges? Guess who will get this quilt?

- A - I'm leaning towards a black bridge, then maybe behind it the sea life print from my friends Franny & Jane.
- B - Or I could do similar to Yavonne's with the black/white bridge and use my aqua in the other places
- PS.. my aqua fabrics are not as pale in real life
Which way would you go.... A or B?
