I'm going to make a bug jar quilt and need some bug fabric. Anyone have any that they are willing to sell? Thank you for your help, Michele

what size do you need? I have some left over pieces I can cut some squares or hunk to send.

Would trade for some 2.5 inch squares for my charm quilt!

but if you have none to trade would still send you a few squares so you can have a variety. DM me if you need to know more

The pattern said fat quarters, but i don't think it will take that much. Sure I can send you some fabric for your project, let me know what you are looking for........Michele

What pattern are you using? Would 8 or 10 inch squares be enough.

A FQ would make several jars but I would think you would want a variety.

Let me know so I can look at what I have so Ican post a pic for you to look at!

I think 8 or 9 inch squares would work. I want different bugs in each one of the jars .......Michele

bug jar quilt is on favequilts.com

I went to that website and found the quilt pattern but it did not give the dimension for the jar to be cut, you have to download the pattern.

have you downloaded the pattern and measured how big the fabric needs to be? I have some odd pieces that would work great if I knew what size you actually needed

I made an I Spy/Critter quilt using all sorts of bug and fun fabric.

Printing out the favequilts.com template and fusing the bug jar, a piece of bug fabric 5 1/2 by 7 1/2 would be adequate... IMHO

The quilter at favequilts.com used just 9 jars fused to the top of her quilt.

And some bug jar quilts use paper-pieced jars.

That link shows two different sized jars.

Here is a link to a site where you can buy all kinds of jar quilt fabric squares. Also there is a pattern there with lots more jars in the quilt - you may like it better.
