Designed by Julia Wachs, Vesta is a striking quilt that blends foundation paper piecing with applique for a bold, graphic look. This thoughtfully structured design is assembled as a row-of-the-month quilt, with each monthly row made up of (5) 9” on-point blocks that gradually build into a stunning finished piece.
The pattern includes instructions for both raw-edge and freezer-paper applique, allowing you to choose the method that best suits your quilting style. Traditional foundation paper piecing techniques create crisp points and clean lines, while the appliqué adds visual interest and texture. High-quality quilter’s cotton prints will be used, with fabric substitutions matching the original design as closely as possible.
