More SewJO

Based on my previous post about Renewing Sewing MOJO, I needed a bit more small project therapy to regain my SewJo. I still had several block-of-the-month kits remaining from the 2006 JoAnn Spice Meadows Series. With all the colors pre-decided and all the  pieces pre-cut this was a perfect SewJo restoring project. This is Block 11, Capital T. It is destined to become part of a community quilt.

The Capital T block incorporates four flying geese blocks in purple/beige and four flying geese blocks in gold/beige. Here are four joined pinwheel blocks I made from the corners cut off in the flying geese construction. This "bonus" block is destined to be added to a collection of other orphans.

Members of my small quilt group are currently sewing other blocks from this series and will be turning them in to me. Hopefully this small project is nourishing their Sew-JO as well. I will publish a follow-on post once other blocks from the series are collected and joined together. It will be fun to see what arrangement will emerge and what role sashings may need to play. For more information about this 2006 block of the month series from JoAnn's fabrics, see my post Empty Bin Incentive dated February 19, 2024.
