Moda and Aurifil sponsored a contest from September-December 1st, 2017. Entrants had to use ONLY Moda pre-cuts and ONLY Aurifil threads.
I chose this blue jelly roll, Fragile by Zen Chic mini-charm pack, these 5 12wt threads, plus 50wt white thread. I only ended up using the yellow, teal, and black 12wt threads.
I usually don't participate in these random blog contest, but I had an idea immediately for this one! I wanted to turn the mini-charm pack into hexies and spread them over a blue patchwork background.
I used fusible web to fold the squares into hexies and then more fusible web to stick them to my patchwork background before quilting. It worked out really well as long as I didn't push any of them too hard while quilting!
I planned for the hexies to not be in every square. I love being able to see the stitching on both the hexies and the negative space.
Unfortunately, I did not win the prize package, but I will enjoy hanging this up to enjoy!
