I have whipped up a 12″ block named ‘J’ through the looking glass, as I deliberately inverted the letter J to make it a little quirky and surreal ( Why not, I say!) It could also be an upside down candy cane, fishing hook, umbrella handle or weird looking hockey stick.
I have plans to embellish the block with trim and make the T-shirt hang from a clothesline with pegs. It will be eventually made into a cushion.
Pattern for 12″ finished block found here and here. I have even included the segments mirrored for those that love a perfect ‘J’.
Join in the fun and upload your finished projects to Flickr Group and Pinterest Board with all the finished blocks and projects.

Oh that is such a cute little t-shirt Jane! Love the clothesline idea – very creative. It'll be a fab cushion!

I need to get my paper piecing on. I am going to do a block from the Summer Solstice Series this weekend.

Fun block, especially for all of us "J's" out there; perfect and otherwise! Thanks for sharing.

I like your idea to make it look like it is hanging by pegs on a clothesline.

Love it (naturally, j is of course the best letter). Good to see you've made it extra cool by using that background ;o)

Gorgeous!

What a gorgeous block! This kind of thing would make a great present personalised with the right letter!
