May is my month to share a blue and white block design for the Aurifil Designer of the Month BOM.  I truly love Aurifil thread so I am so happy to partner with them for this project.  All my piecing and quilting is done with Aurifil!

Pat Sloan asked us to make blue and white inspirational mosaics and I had so much fun making mine.  I thought I would share it here too.

This is my block, a traditional Cups and Saucers block because when I think of the colors blue and white, I think of china tea cups.  I added a bit of a modern flair with the gradient.  It was a fun block to make and I hope that you will enjoy it too.

Read all about the BOM and how you can win a box of Aurifil thread just by making and sharing one of these blocks (and being the lucky winner) right here. The block directions can be downloaded there too, as a simple pdf. There is also an interview with me where I confess my weakness for peppermint patties and a link to my recent chat with Pat Sloan on American Patchwork and Quilting.

Enjoy!
