Jars Quilt Block Pattern

By Janet Wickell, About.com Guide

Make the Jars

1. Find your 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")
