Quilt Concert: First Notes Block 1

Are you ready to sew? I know I am! For week two of the Quilt Concert Quilt Along we are constructing block one, Fox and Geese around a Double T.

This post is packed full of information, so keep reading for all of the details about the block and how to win this week’s giveaway!

Week 2 Instructions

Lissa of Loving Lissa designed this block using two separate blocks, Fox and Geese, and the Double T.

The Fox and Geese block has a solid square in the center, so it is an excellent block to combine with another pieced or appliquéd design or even incorporate a bit of fussy cutting. For those of you keeping track, Fox and Geese is block number 2132 in Barbara Brackman’s Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Blocks.

The Double T block echos the flying geese motif in the Fox and Geese block making it an excellent pairing. The Double T block is number 1662d in the Encyclopedia of Pieced Quilt Block.
