I love the Aurifil Designer of the month day. What I love is getting to know each designer. March is Sedef Imer who is from Down Grapevine Lane. Once you read her interview you'll know why she selected that as her business name! This is my 9th year hosting and I'm inspired each month. Let's get to it!
Each year I pick a theme and give the designer a set of color criteria for their challenge block. Then I interview the monthly designer at the Aurifil blog.
And each month share your block at the Aurifil interview page to be in the running to win a box of thread!
My Interview and block are At the Aurifil Website, read and come back!
I always select a different color group to make my blocks in.
This year I'm working with
- A Feeling Peachy Bundle
- A set of Green from 'Well Said'
- 2 or 3 Navy fabrics like this Dot & this bow tie
- With some White.

Pat's Tip
- Keep track of your block placement.Use a design board
- It's such an easy and clever block, but even easier to put them the wrong direction
- Ask me how I know, wink!
Sedef's Tip
- Here is the back of her quilt with her beautifully pressed open seams
Pat's Tip
- The guidebeam on my baby lock Solaris is amazing for sewing these. I look towards the tip and I always have a perfect sew and flip blocks

I REALLY love how these look together! Now I'll be balancing color for the remaining 9 blocks so some are more white, some more peach.. etc.
