    Has anyone here made one of these yet. It really caught my eye, I supposed you could just make a few bottles. I'll post the web site and you can see the picture and the how to for yourself. :D

    Looked at your thingie and I really like it!! I have made some blocks of the jar several times in a block exchange and they are EASY. I used stwawberries in one, bumble bees in another and a lizard in another. The bees and lizard were for little boys - cute. The quiltmaked used strips that looked like shelves and made very effective quilts.
