I am not really a quilter, just a sewer, but a granddaughter is on the way so I made a quilt for her.

Comments (17)The block pattern is Grandmother's Puzzle. It can be found on Quilter's Cache. I made 20 of the blocks. Valerie, the label is done on my embroidery machine, then I cut it into a square, then folded the square into a triangle and sewed it into the binding when I was sewing it on. Then I hand sewed the loose edge down while I was hand sewing the binding. Clear as mud?

Comments (24)Rebecca, That's just STUNNING! Easy to do, really? Looks complex at a glance. But I would like to take a minute to say a couple of things. While I'm swamped w/ ongoing quilts (& am job hunting too), this design is definately on my mental list of things to do next (or soonish)! It's especially helpful color & designwise to see a number of interpretations of each of these related designs. Inspires so much color thinking for me, I especially appreciate this kind of thread!

Comments (13)Thank you for your compliments everyone, I am delighted that you all like the quilts I made! It is nice to share them with others who quilt and who can truly appreciate the amount of work that goes into a quilt. I love coming to this forum especially when people share pics cause it is like going to mini-quilt shows which is really fun for me as I don't get out of the house very often. I did get to go to a quilt show about an hour from my home last spring and loved it - we just happened to go tour an old sawmill while RVing and they were getting ready for their annual festival and had 2 back rooms in the local store on the property filled with quilts - I just wish I would have packed my camera for that trip! It was really cool to see what other local Louisiana quilters are making. My husband even commented that he liked a lighthouse quilt that was on display so that gives me ideas for doing a quilt in the future for him. Hoping when we go RVing in the spring of 2012 that we can attend their quilt show again and this time take my camera. My mom has been canning fruits and veggies my entire life so the canning jar quilt just fit her so perfectly. Sharon and Kate I am very happy that my mom had the idea to put lace under the lids and I am glad you like the lace on the jars too. I originally wanted to put some sort of fabric for fringe under the lids for decoration, but thought that would be hard to sew through 2 layers of Steam-A-Seam2 / 2 layers of applique so I was really happy when my mom suggested she would like to have lace. And I found the lace I used at Walmart of all places. Thank you bunches Christy!!! And it is because of you that this canning jar quilt was possible since you sent me all of the beautiful veggie and fruit fabric that I needed for the quilt. You are such a good friend! I really love the GardenWeb and this Quilting Forum as I have made a lot of great friends here who have have helped nurture my love of quilting. Thank you all bunches!!! :-) Best to you and many, many thanks, Sandra...See MoreRose Pekelnicky
