CANNING JARS QUILT

Several people have posted the canning jar quilt on my facebook so I decided to make me one.

Unfortunately, my internet was giving me fits so I was not able to see the quilts.

I think I am going to go and round off the bottom of the jars.  That being said.



I decided to put some things in my pantry quilt that would probably be there in mine for real even down to the mouse.

One more row is needed.

I have food fabric but I want different because if these jars were in my pantry they would be with like items.  Maybe I can just put the like items under the jars above.

The quilt that was shown to me on facebook had the jars closer together.  When I was trying to decided how far apart to put them I just took the plunge.  Then I thought I should take it all apart and make them closer but then I said to myself "Are you crazy or what?"....

So....it is what it is.

  1. What a fun quilt! It reminds me of all the years I spent canning. It was hard work but very satisfying to see the shelves full.

  4. Lol, you remind me of me, Barb! Asking myself all those questions until someone says "You are over-thinking this!" I then back off, and peace of acceptance of what I have comes quickly. This is perfect as it is! Peace to you...

  5. I took apart a finished top because the snowball blocks didn't look right. Promised myself "never again"! Keep moving forward.

  6. Love your quilt and think the jars are just the right distance apart. I love how you incorporated other pantry items in your quilt. Gives it character!
