SJSA Sew Day blocks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Cyndi invited a group from the Social Justice Sewing Academy<\/a> to our Sew Day. Some of our group had finished blocks, so those were turned in. Sara, the organizer, brought a different group of blocks that were to be made into a quilt.<\/p>\n

People worked together to put sashing on the blocks and sew them together.<\/p>\n

I was tired and stayed in my corner working on the Half Hexies. I wasn’t up for a group project that day.<\/p>\n

The group achieved a lot. They put thin sashing around each block and then worked on larger pieced sashing (no photo). They decided to put the larger pieced sashing on backwards so the raw edges show. I am not sure the point, especially after quilting, but it was definitely a design choice.<\/p>\n

The themes of the blocks varied. I might have put all environmental blocks together in one quilt and all animal blocks together in another quilt. I can see the appeal of varying the themes as it makes people really look at them to see what else is there.<\/p>\n

My favorite block has a fantastic design. The design is very simple and clear IMO. It also has a graphic quality and provides a lot of scope for discussion. Whoever designed this block should get an award. Great job.<\/p>\n

It was fun to see the blocks up close and contemplate the messages. If you want to participate, check the SJSA website<\/a> for more details<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
