Does anyone remember the wallhanging pattern with the jars of creepy crawlies on shelves? I think there were 9 jars in all. I've been looking for the pattern with no luck, I guess it's been discontinued. Does anyone have one they would like to sell for a reasonable price?

Do a Google Images search for BUG JAR QUILTS and you will get many images of layouts for your quilt. The pattern that Sunny provided is a good one. If you would like to consider others... just google for BUG JAR QUILT BLOCK PATTERN.

These are just a few of the links... and if you google images... you'll have lots of eye candy on bug jar quilts!
Just in case you prefer applique, I have drafted a few jar shapes to use for making blocks and can send them to you as .jpg files. The "shelves" are just a form of sashing and can be easily made in any size you need. All the added crawlies and such can be from special buttons, store bought appliques, fussy cut from fabrics, or from things like Halloween toys. With an applique wall hanging you can really let your creative juices flow. Debra in VA See my quilts at
I never did a bug jar quilt but it might be fun to appliqué a can of 'RAID' or a flyswatter on it somewhere.

cute idea! You could add a mouse running on the shelf and a mousetrap too. Debra in VA See my quilts at
