Southern Skies
A 10-Month Block of the Month Quilt
I’m so excited to finally share that registrations are now open for my brand new Southern Skies Block of the Month program.
This is a 10-month, fully machine-pieced quilt designed to be made slowly and enjoyably, one block at a time.
Registrations are open from the 2nd of April and close on the 29th April 2026 - Midnight AEST

Each month you’ll receive:
• That month’s block instructions (PDF)
• An accompanying newsletter with extra tips, guidance and helpful notes

About the Quilt
Southern Skies is designed to work beautifully with a wide range of fabrics. It’s perfect for using a mix of your favourite colours, scraps or a curated bundle.
All blocks are machine pieced, using techniques such as:
• Half Square Triangles
• No-waste Flying Geese
• No-waste Flying Geese

I’ll be sharing plenty of guidance along the way, and there will also be a wonderful community of quilters sewing alongside you.
My Facebook group, Emma Jean Jansen Quilt Community - a place for sew alongs, my quilts and now Block of the Month programs, is a lovely space to connect with other patchworkers, share your progress and ask questions throughout the program.
