Just a bit of stash busting that I would like to repeat. This is a sample jar quilt I made to try out an idea I saw on Pinterest. I used a strip quilting technique using a muslin backing with a light batting and stitching down the strips, quilting as you go. I did add a few quilting lines for accents. The buttons are closed with loops of elastic stitched into the bias trim. I am sure I have a stash of fat quarters that would make a whole set of these cute jar quilts. One set for the kitchen to hold everything from coffee beans to sugar cubes and one set for the sewing room to organize all those little accessories that are waiting for the perfect project. This sample was sized to fit a pint jar but you could use any size jar so I guess that makes this a good recycling project too. You could paint the jar lids to coordinate with the fabrics you choose. Lots of ideas to expand on this project idea when I have more time.
