I Spy Jar Quilt

This is based on an I Spy Jar Quilt Tutorial by Jenny from the Missouri Star Quilt Company.  Making the pint and quart jars themselves will be exactly as she explains it.  The difference is instead of using 2.5" sashing between the jars, we will be bordering each jar with 1.5" sashing.

Each Pint Jar I Spy Block requires:

Bright Novelty Fabric for Jar
- one 5" x 5" square

Grey Fabric for Lid
- one 1.5" x 3" rectangle

Black Background Fabric
(can all be cut from one WOF 1.5" strip)
- six 1.5" x 1.5" squares
- two 1.5" x 6" strips for sides
- two 1.5" x 7" strips for top and bottom

Each Quart Jar I Spy Block requires:

Bright Novelty Fabric for Jar
- one 5" x 10" rectangle

Grey Fabric for Lid
- one 1.5" x 3" rectangle

Black Background Fabric
(can all be cut from one WOF 1.5" strip)
- six 1.5" x 1.5" squares
- two 1.5" x 11" strips for sides
- two 1.5" x 7" strips  for top and bottom





1.  Using four 1.5" x 1.5" background squares, snowball each corner of the novelty print jar.

2.  Sew the two remaining 1.5" x 1.5" background squares to each end of the grey jar lid strip.








3.  Sew the jar lid strip to the top of the jar.





4.  Sew the side background strips (6" for the pint jar and 11" for the quart jar) to each side of the jar.

5.  Sew the top and bottom 7" background strips to the top and bottom of the jar.

Easy Peasy!




Here are a a few pint ones made as well.


These are so fun and easy to make.  If I had more novelty print fabric I would already have a quilt worth of these I Spy Jars made!
