*** The Project ***
Our October Aurifil Designer of the Month is Alyce Blyth who I've adored for years, I'm so excited to interview her for Aurifil's Designer of the Month Series!
Each month when I interview the designer, they also create a block for our theme. Alyce's block is a very clever take on her traditions! I am sewing along, my version is above. Remember to make and enter your block at the Aurifil site for a chance to win a box of thread!
My Interview and block are At the Aurifil Website, read and come for my fabric picking tip!

*** Fabric Placement Tip ***
- Click any photo to see it larger
- I kept the light all the green gingham so that is is calming and is not 'too' green. See it with the others below.
- 1st i did one fabric per row, very organized
- 2nd I took the stack and did one right after the other for the top 6 blue rectangles. Then i reversed the order for the bottom 6. That meant the same fabric was in the middle touching
- 3rd I did more random so no fabrics were next to it's duplicate, this is the option I went with.
- I actually like all 3, the random is more me, and it was the last one I tried so I sewed it up!
** Design Boards, this is the 14" size
