I’m so excited to be one of the featured blogs for the first-ever Aurifil Blog Hop happening this week. The blog hop is being organized by Pat Sloan, so you just know it’s going to be lots of fun!
There are nine bloggers participating and we’ve all designed a block just for you. The blocks will finish at 9″ and will be set on-point. The finished quilt measures 54″ square.
Of course, there are lots of prizes to be won too. Leave a comment on each participating blog on their special day for a chance to win 5-packs of each of the Aurifil threads and a grand prize of Pat Sloan’s thread collection.
Grab the block patterns and leave a comment. Here are the dates and participating bloggers:
- Monday, Feb. 21st – Pat Sloan
- Tuesday, Feb. 22nd – Pink Chalk Studio and Lizzie B Girls
- Wednesday, Feb. 23rd – Erin Russek and Thimbleanna
- Thursday, Feb. 24th – Stitchen heaven and ME! – Quilting Gallery
- Friday Feb. 25th – Sew Cal Gal and I Have A Notion
There’s a Flickr group too where you can share the blocks you’ve made.
See you on Thursday for my special day! Happy Hopping!
I just love the colors your thread comes in!

What a great idea! Looking forward to each blog. :)
I’d love to win some thread. Looking forward to seeing the blocks!
I would love to try this thread, such pretty colors.
The blocks so far are so fun and I would love to do them with colors of Aurifil thread.
the color of the thead is just wonderful I can’t wait to collect all the block patterns and get started I am in between projects
I can’t wait to finish this Aurifil quilt thing! I am so excited about the giveaway I am totally obsessed with Aurifil!
Cute block and I am looking forward to trying this thread.
I love Aurifil thread and try to buy one or 2 spools everytime I go to the quilt store. That way I can build up my collection and it doesn’t seem to cost so must all at once.
I am loving the blocks. Can’t wait to try the thread. Joan in coastal MS
Love the idea of this blog hop. Also love Aurifil thread- it sew up so nice no matter what my project. Can’t wait to see the finished quilts
This blog hop is fun! I can’t wait to try Aurifil thread.
Can hardly wait to try this thread!
here’s my post the blog hop! I did have problem finding the information and block on the Stitchen Heaven Blog though.
Thanks for doing this!
i can’t wait to see the finished quilt ! It’s so fun ! AND i love ,love, love Aurifil !!
Each block in this collection is so different. It will be fun to put them together. I like this block. It looks like a miniature quilt all by itself, with tiny borders. It’s the kind of precise sewing where the Aurifil thread, which I’ve read doesn’t bulk up seam allowances, would be a help.
Can’t wait to get the blocks all collected, then pieced. What a fun idea!
I’m looking forward to having some time to start making all of the wonderful blocks-Aurifil thread is the best!
Thanks for sharing the Flicker Group link – this is the first I’ve heard of such. Always so fun to see sew-n-tell! :)
I’ve never used Aurifil before but everyone I know that has said that once they got it in their hands they never used anything else. Thanks for the chance to win!
Love from Texas! ~bonnie
I love this blog hop. Thank you.
Love Aurifil
I’m looking forward to seeing the eye candy all of the beautiful blocks created will offer on the flicker group (thankYou for the link). I’m not finding the link for Your block yet…. maybe it’s just too early in the day . Thank You to Aurifil and everyone who put this fun blog hop together.
I’ve had a lot of fun reading each of the blogs. Thank you.
I’d love to win. However, I’m beginning to think I’m going round in circles…. the daily listings are a little confusing.
This is going to be a fun and cheery quilt.
I couldn’t find the block either. Help! Love the setting and would love the block if I could find it. LOL
Sorry all, I was late getting the Aurifil block posted. Find it here:

Very excited to try this thread… makes some great promises especially one that I am looking forward to is little to no lint in my machine
You’re singing to the choir! I already love Aurifil!
What a wonderful block -reminds me of Summer which is my favorite season. Living in the northeast near NYC has its advantages, but since I’m happiest at 80 degrees or above I’m a summer girl. Can’t wait to try the aurifil thread.
INTOXICATING thread from Aurifil. Thanks for the chance to win!
I love the fresh colors you chose. To me they look like spring which comes early in SC.
I’m looking forward to trying aurifil thread with my hand applique. I love this hop that is introducing me to better ideas on how to do things.
I just love this bog hop idea – so fun to read everyone’s quilting tips & hope to see lots of sweet, springtime blocks on flickr. Thanks for the wonderful thread giveaway

I love Aurifil thread and only have a few colors…thanks for the opportunity to add more Aurifil !
I love Aurifil, it’s my favorite!
I love Aurifil. I have used it about three years not and have recommended it to many other people. It is the best I have used and I have had no breakage. I have used it on both my regular machine and on a long arm.
I would love to win the thread. I have to say- I have not found your block to print out. I hope it is not too late to get it?
Take care- you have a great site.
I am enjoying folowing the blog hop.
Thanks for contributing to Pat Sloan’s challenge. I know we all love it and appreciate your talent!!!
