I managed to post a picture under "canned fruits and veggies quilt". Tried to do it here but I am not very good at posting pics yet. So I had to do a new posting. Sorry about that!

Our group is collecting sewing notions fabric and doing a jar quilt . Some are doing one shelf for a wall hanging in thier sewing room. I am doing mine in a quilt to take on my quilt retreats. Will add a chocolate jar.

I'm kind of a crazy person - I will only use fabrics that realistically portray foods (ie no cartoon-y or novelty types),
foods that literally look like mouth-watering real food. But...I am not as picky about whether they are really "cannable". That's nuts, huh?

I am collecting to make the canning jar quilt and will use what fits the canning theme. I have made several market bags with all fruit & vegie varities that are awesome. They would be great in I spy too, never thought of that one!

If I made one I would put only "canned" items in it. But the list is long. For instance a plain red for tomato sauce or spaghetti sauce, plain colors for jelly, etc. I like the ideas of baskets for uncannable things. (No that is not a real word!) My Mother, Grandmother and Aunts canned everything they could. Oh, the days spent peeling peaches, water running down your arm! If color is a thought I came up with orange, red, yellow, blue, purple, white, pink. Jar lids could be gray (silver) or gold. The problem I see with some of the fruit and vegetable prints is they are too large.
I bet some of our younger members especially city raised have never canned.

I sure would love to see pictures of that quilt! Sounds darling.
I've made lots of blocks for a quilt using the fruits and veggies, but it is one of my UFOs from so long ago that I can't even describe what the block looks like right now. LOL But I remember it was cute. :wink: I would love to make a canning jar quilt out of the rest of the fabrics! Thanks for the idea.

This is the one I meant that I would love to see pictures of. Hit the wrong key--sorry.

I put tons of different foods in my quilt. I was going to make a canning jar quilt, but decided to cut 6 1/2" squares and sash them with black instead. I think it came out great!

There is pizza, pickles, potato chips, asparagus, peppermints, chocolates, cupcakes, berries, apples, Pixie Stix, beer, and other things I can't think of. Here's what it looked like on the design wall. It's all put together now, just need to quilt it.

I used them as a 3" borders for 12" white squares I embroidered with different fruits and veggies. Then I added another 3"white border and I am planning to put it together in the next two or three weeks.
