The only problem was, the bugs, mouse, snail, I had to find. She didn't have the paper pieceing for that nor the measurements. Soooooooooooooooo what an ordeal. I had to figure and figure....my small pea brain was a smoking....and....yes, it is not perfect. I see what I should have done and what I did wrong but once it was together it was going to stay that way. Shoooo eeeeee.
Don't you just love the back? The green trim is just the right punch for it. I am running out of backing material (traditional American material) but I had this on hand and was skeptical but now.....it is awesome.
Wahoo! Imagine finding a new friend who quilts! It just doesn't get any better. Getting someone hooked is easy isn't it. Once they see the quilt in a day, it makes everything come together.
ReplyDeleteYou sweet girl you!
Oh my gosh - those little jars are so cute!! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd you know I love the back, since I'm on an all things round kick lately. :)
What a clever quillt, and how clever of you to be able to figure out how to make the final pieces.
ReplyDeleteSO cute!
ReplyDeleteI have the instructions and material for that for over a year, have to get to it. Yours came out very nice

ReplyDeleteLove your bug jars. I bought some marble fabric with plans to make a jar of marbles, but haven't gotten to it yet. You're right, the green border is perfect! Lane

ReplyDeleteBarb, I love your jar quilt. The dotts on the back is so perfect for the quilt. I made a jar quilt a few years ago, but never finished it.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what YOU are seeing "wrong" with the little critters you made. I see NOTHING wrong....this quilt is adorable!!!
ReplyDeleteSo what is this, A Quilt A Day Month? Jeesh. You just whip these things out!!
ReplyDeleteyou are on a creative spur there. It looks fabulous. You might as well start charging to teach some classes Barb. It will go very well for you.
ReplyDeleteGreat quilt! I love the jar of peas and the jar of peaches in amongst the bugs! Nice touch to applique the bugs and lizard too.
ReplyDeleteAs for the back...perfect!
Oh WOW I love that quilt. So beautiful. Usually when I see them they are on dark colored backgrounds and the jars do not show up as well. I like the white on white background and you did an excellent job.. Just beautiful.

ReplyDeleteThe bug jar quilt is funtastic! I love it.
ReplyDeleteThat's too cool! I was always the little girl catching grasshoppers & pulling their legs off. I also "remove" spiders rather then smash them.
