Did you all enjoy Fox and Geese around a Double T last week? It’s a great block, you could sew a dozen of them together and make quite a nice lap quilt. It’s available now at my Etsy shop if you didn’t get it downloaded yet.

The second block in First Notes is the Elongated Churndash. This block is a bit smaller, but still chock full of quilty goodness! Cassandra did an amazing job taking such a traditional block and giving it a new twist.

Welcome to the first block of First Notes! This one is one of our favorites, although I will admit I have many favorites in this quilt.

The block is actually two traditional blocks in one. The center block of the Fox and Geese block is a plain square, but we added in the Double T for a bit more interest. I really love the way the Double T looks on its own, it’s a great block to put into a grid, it creates a variety of secondary designs depending on you lay it all out.

This pattern is now available on my Etsy site for $2

Just a reminder that cutting instructions are no longer available to download for free, but you can purchase the cutting instructions at Cassandra’s Etsy store for $2.

Introducing…

First Notes

First Notes is the first quilt in the Quilt Concert Series and Cassandra and I are so thrilled to introduce it to you. For this version I chose 4 print fabrics and 1 solid. The result reminds me of an impressionist painting.

The Cutting Instructions are available at Cassandra’s Etsy Store for $2 now.

Opening week Sponsor.

Hobbs is sponsoring 4 prizes during this quilt along along with the grand prize. This week’s prize is a queen size 80/20 bleached batting.

Heirloom^® Premium Cotton Blend is made from 80% long staple cotton fibers and 20% fine polyester. This combination of fibers creates a strong, long-wearing batt and is very easy to handle. The batting is lightly needle punched and treated with a soft resin to provide stability to the fibers and prevent the polyester from bearding. This process makes Heirloom^® Cotton Blend Batting uniquely easy to quilt by hand.
