    Here is a free pattern for the bug jar quilt you could make them narrower and taller of even smaller.

    I used belmers tut to make microwave fabric bowls using fruit and veggie fabric. Easy, quick and turned out great. And they work like a charm.
    I can't post a pic. Batteries in my camera are goners.

    I think an appliqued quilt with baskets and the fruits and veggies over flowing from them would be cute :D:D:D

    I am planning to make one with canning jars - but only for those items that can be canned. Thanks amma, I now know what to do with the items that can't be canned.

    A blogger I follow posted a quilt made with the Ribbon Star pattern and the blocks are really pretty. Take a look:

    I will upload my collection of pics.... This is part of my collection of ideas. I am binding my personal jar quilt tomorrow and will post once done. It is king size. But I love the wall hangings and the pot mits.
