Sew Many Colors Mini

Sew Many Colors Rainbow Mini

I love Aurifil and I just so happen to have a ton of Kona Cotton Solids.

I picked out my Rainbow of Aurifil and matched them up with the Kona, now in case you don't have 100 FQ's of Kona laying around or even Aurifil laying around you can always check with Play Crafts Palette Builder wonderful color tool, to find the perfect match!

Now my favorite Yellow and Pink from Aurifil is their Variegated thread, so I made my spools out of multiple fabrics for those spools.

4660 Pink Taffy, I use so much of this thread, it's crazy!

4658 Limoni di Monterosso

But my all time favorite color is Dove #2600

2600 Dove, works with everything, can only get one color get this one!

Did you notice I changed background fabric, yup, I was working along using Kona Snow (my favorite "white" fabric to use) and then when I was auditioning fabrics to represent Aurifil #6736 (my new favorite dark thread) it was up against my color blue and I realized that Kona Graphite made all the pretty rainbow colors POP!

Colors Pop off of the Graphite Background and the Aurifil #6736 matches very well

Sadly the only other color that I know for sure of as far as the Kona goes is my light blue color, that is Robin Egg, my all time favorite Kona blue color and I matched it with Aurifil #2805.

It was windy and off and on rainy as we took photos today, I was hoping for a real rainbow, but no luck there :)

I would also really like to Thank my friend CeLynn for sending me a Bobbin Winder, it was very helpful for making this mini.

I use Aurifil #2600 when quilting the Variegated Threads, I don't want to waste any of the pretty Variegated color in the bobbin.
