The corners are sewn to the Bug Jar fabric with the same method we use for quick Snowball quilt blocks.

Make the Bug Jar

1. Find your bug jar square.

2. Draw a line from one corner to the opposite corner on the reverse side of each small background square.

3. Align a square in each corner of the block as shown, right sides together. Take care to align raw edges as closely as possible. (See "A")

4. Stitch a seam directly on each drawn line.

5. Trim excess edges, leaving about 1/4" past the seam line. (See " B")

6. Flip the corner patches right side up. Press the seam allowance towards the bug fabric. (See "C")
