Hi I’m Pat Sloan, the host of Aurifil’s Designer of the Month program! This is going to be an excellent year for sewing along with our AMAZING Designer team! We’ll meet one a month and they have a challenge block for you. Sew the block and You might win a BOX of thread, and NOT the small one.. wink!
Our project this year is a Block of the Month done in the colorwheel. Each designer is assigned a primary color on the wheel and will create a block using that color + white. I’m really looking forward to working with this super talented group!
Let me introduce you to them!

Here I am, with Halloween Pony Tails in front of my version of the 2015 Block of the Month. If you followed along you may notice it doesn’t look like 12 mini quilts! I made each mini, or a portion of it, then assembled into one quilt. The fabric is all my mines from Moda! The quilting is by award winning quilter Shelly Pagliai of Prairemoon Quilts
My quilt is going to do some traveling with Aurifil before it returns home to me.
Each Interview comes out about the 15th of the month. Interested in the FREE Patterns from Prior years, see our PATTERN PAGE.

Wow! The 2017 BOM looks like great fun. Never make a “color wheel” quilt and really looking forward to that challenge. Thanks for making this happen.
It’s absolutely fabulous Pat. I love the idea of putting mini quilts together in one large quilt.
Looking forward to designs from the 2017 Aurifil Design Team.
Wishing all who read this a wonderful day.
Fun idea using the color wheel for the blocks. And I really like having a heads up on which color for each month to be ready to sew when the design comes out. I have thoroughly enjoyed doing the blocks for 2016 Thanks Pat and Aurifil for hosting this quilt along.
Oh boy, you have some great designers lined up for next year! Looking forward to it!
Love the color challenge for 2017.
No purple in my stash so i better get shopping or winning!
THankyou.
Thank you for letting us meet the team! My question is about the man named, “Mathew Boudreaux.” Is that really how he spells his FIRST NAME???? with only ONE “T”? Or could that be a typo?
