It was butterflies. Where do you find all the good bugs?

All the jars were made by people on this board. I was short a few so I added the tea pot and books to fill in. I bet if you need bug fabric there are people on the board that would trade you fat quarters. You need to post under the classifieds that you want to trade.

For the block exchange I just requested jars with black background. Anything they chose to put in the jar....there are seashells, marbles, buttons, fruits, veggies, nuts/bolts, beans, garlic, eggs, thread, more buttons. One has the birds. It was really fun to see what the ladies came up with.

There was another lady wanting jars with flowers. I wonder if she put them together.....???

That was me! No, I haven't done anything with all my lovely flower jars but it's on my list!

You did a great job on yours and it will be my inspiration for getting mine together!

Thanks for posting that.
:-D

That came out so perfect! The books & teapot make me want to curl up under your quilt & settle in for the night on the couch! I love it!

I went to a show in Silverton OR in January and there was a vendor from Idaho that had several wood grain fabrics so there have got to be some on-line. Sorry I don't remember the name of the vendor.
