There were a few pictured in the first few pages.

Feathers

I posted pictures of mine a couple years ago. Look under my bookmarks under my name "Feathers" and you can see them. I think I posted a couple days ago that the pictures are on page 2 of the pictures category.

Its a very easy block to make. Try to choose fabrics that look like tightly packed foods would look in a jar.
The finished block is 5 1/2"x10 1/2". My sashing strips are 1 1/2" wide, you could make them wider.
The "jar" section is 5 1/2"x 9 1/2".
Six 1 1/2" squares , 2 go on the sides of the lid,the other 4 are for the corners of the jar fabric, you do a folded corner(sew diagonally across the square and cut off only the middle piece, leave 1/4", fold back). The lid section is 1 1/2" x 4 1/2". I liked to use striped fabric for the lids when I could find the right fabric, you can have either vertical or horizontal striped fabrics.

You can see a picture of my quilt in webshots.

I did them in short jars, almost all types, not the lettuces. Created a border with them to go around a 2 1/2" red and white pieced picnic cloth look. Used the lawn grass fabric as the binding. Voila, picnic blanket.

My girls and I are collecting to do one when our bugs are done. I found some very cool basket weave fabric that we'll make baskets from, and some woody stuff that we'll make crates from.
