July Aurifil Designer of the Month Block and Interview

*** The Aurifil Project ***

Our July Aurifil Designer of the Month is from the super talented Alyssa Thomas of https://penguinandfish.com/ using the gorgeous orange shades from our Tuscany Box of thread.

My post today is tips on how to approach the block from my friend and fellow team member Carolina Assmussen https://www.carolinasmussen.com/ . Since I can't do any sewing yet with 2 broken wrists she made my block and shared her process below
