Welcome to the November Block, the 12th and final block from the Cosmic Collection! This month's quilt block/mini quilt is celebrating the season of Sagittarius (November 22 to December 21). Sagittarius is considered the ninth sign in the zodiac and is represented by the archer—a perfect symbol for its adventurous and optimistic nature. Ruled by Jupiter, Sagittarius energy is bold, exploratory, and always looking to the future.
You can grab this Cosmic Mini Sagittarius Block now in my shop! I would love to see the Sagittarius quilt blocks you create. Don’t forget to tag me on Instagram and use the hashtags #sagittariusblock and #cottonandjoypatterns when you share your projects!
COSMIC COLLECTION: 12 ZODIAC QUILT BLOCKS
The Cosmic Collection is a mini quilt of the month series where four designers—me, Julie Burton of @runningstitchquilts, Ben Millett of @benmillett, and Katie Hanson of @moderntextiles—came together to create 12 Zodiac-inspired quilt blocks.
Now that Sagittarius is here, the series is complete! You can purchase each block individually from the designers or grab all 12 in the Cosmic Mini Quilt Bundle.
ABOUT THE BLOCK
The Sagittarius block centers on the arrow motif, a symbol of focus, strength, and forward movement—qualities that perfectly capture Sagittarius energy. Designing this block was a fun challenge, as getting the proportions right within the size constraints was trickier than I expected. After a bit of refining, I’m so happy with the clean and modern look of this design!
For my sample block, I used fabrics from my Moonchild collection, designed for Riley Blake Designs. The soft blush pinks, paired with dreamy blues featuring delicate floral and constellation details, give the block a whimsical yet striking look. The navy fabric in the corner adds just the right amount of contrast and helps emphasize the arrow’s direction.
This block is a wonderful standalone piece but also shines as part of the full Cosmic Collection quilt. I can’t wait to see how you make it your own!
It’s hard to believe this is the last block in the Cosmic Collection. Designing these blocks has been such a rewarding experience, and seeing the creative ways you’ve brought them to life has been truly inspiring.
The Sagittarius block is a meaningful way to close out this journey, and I can’t wait to see how you bring it to life. Thank you for joining me on this zodiac-inspired adventure!
