    I might have something I can send you. Can you send a pic of all of it so we can see what you have?

    Oh so cute! I have never seen one of those and I hope u don't mind if I made I make one for my 5yo grandaughter. She loves bugs and animals. I watch her a couple days and week and I always ask "what do u have with you?" I don't like surprises. Her snake, crickets, and other critters have to stay at her house. I know, I'm a party pooper.

    That is very cute!!! I think the different sizes for repeated prints would work well!

    This is the pattern I'm using. http://www.geocities.com/aljobritt/pattern2.html?20084 plus, I'm adapting it for the other sizes. Don't know how many to make. So far I have 50 sewn and about 15 more cut out. I always make my quilts about queen size, so I'm assuming I'll need about 150 blocks. Now when I get the doubles cut, I'll be in good shape.

    I showed our 18 year old son my project this evening, and he said it was creepy and would feel "bugs" all night.

    I saw a pattern to make one of these quilts and I am so tempted to get it. It looks so great!!!!

    I think repeating is fine! I like the other poster that said to use different shapes.

    Can't wait to see the finished piece!

    Hugs

    In my opinion, I don't think it would hurt to repeat as you have different size jars. BTW I love your quilt, someone is gonna love it!
