Jar Block

Block of the Month - 12 1/2 inch (unfinished)

This jar block is very easy to construct. For the jar use fabric with actual recognizable objects printed on it, something that you might put in a jar. Think about food, candy, bugs, veggies, crayons, money, whatever your imagination can come up with. The background is in a white print and the jar lid is either in black or in a print that coordinates with the jar fabric.

Below is a table with the cutting information for the jar block.

Number	Size	Fabric
1	8 1/2" x 10 1/2"	Jar Print
4	2 1/2" x 2 1/2"	White Print
2	4" x 1 1/2"	White Print
2	2 1/2" x 10 1/2"	White Print
1	12 1/2" x 1 1/2"	White Print
1	5 1/2" x 1 1/2"	Lid Print

First make a 'snowball' corner on each corner of the jar fabric with your four white print 2 1/2" x 2 1/2". You will sew diagonally, trim the inner white print fabric and press the remaining fabric back toward the corner.

Now sew a 2 1/2" x 10 1/2" white print rectangle to each side of the jar. Press the seam.

Sew the 12 1/2" x 1 1/2" white print rectangle to the bottom of the jar.Press the seam.

Make the lid section by sewing the 5 1/2" x 1 1/2" lid fabric between two 4" x 1 1/2" white print rectangles, joining the 1 1/2" ends. Press the seams. Sew this unit to the top of the jar, pressing the seams.

You may want to make several identical jar blocks or some extra blocks with something different in the jar!!

Have Fun!!
