Foxey Fassett First Sat Finishes
At the First Saturday at the Quilted Fox we got to see three quilt tops made from the Foxey Fassett blocks.
The owner, Louise Georgia, put her blocks together with a wonderful Fassett border.
Another quilter, Jane Coons, added 2″ sashing with a Fassett fabric pieced in to connect the blocks. This one is already quilted and waiting for binding!
Both of the above quilts used the main and alternate blocks. The quilt below used only the main blocks but included some additional piecing.
I haven’t yet decided exactly how I’ll finish these and I have yet to complete the blocks from the last First Saturday, but I’m leaning towards the layout of the second quilt. The additional white space seems to calm the whole quilt down.
The next First Saturday begins in August and is Asian Surprise. Before we’ve never seen the quilt layout at the beginning so it was a surprise to see a drawing of the next one. The colors in each block will be different which is a signature of Louise’s First Saturday programs. I’ve signed up for the alternate block for this one so the expected finished size is 62 x 86. I typically don’t care for Asian fabrics but Louise’s quilts are always beautiful and make wonderful gifts.
