First-Ever Aurifil Blog Hop with Prizes and Nine Free Block Patterns

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:

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 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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.
