*** Featured Aurifil Collection ***
Each month the Aurifl color Builder box is named the town of Sicily. Each designer is creating a block based on something about this thread collection. The Aurifil blocks are exciting and unique. At the end of the year I create a layout.
I make the blocks in totally different fabrics, and have some tips each month for you on construction, let's continue!

*** My block & background***
I'm back to sewing my own blocks, yeah!
Background
- Fabric 1 - cut 2 squares 6.5" x 6.5"
- Fabric 2 - Cut 2 squares 6.5" x 6.5"
- Fabric 3 corners - 4 squares 2.5" x 2.5"
- Sew the 6.5" squares into a 4patch like my photo
- Place a 2.5" square on the corner, right sides together
- Sew corner to corner
- Flip open, trim background
- Repeat for the other 3 corners.
I fused this down with the new Aqua blue mini Oliso iron, so sweet! You can preorder these

*** Picking Thread ***
- I'm making a more green applique and want the thread to show
- Placing a single strand over the applique fabric I can see the one is a good match, and the other gives some contrast. I used the one with contrast.
