Tall Jar Quilt Block Pattern

Our short and squatty jar quilt block pattern has been so popular that I thought it was time to add a pattern for a tall, narrow jar.

Put anything in the jars that suits you, like the colorful Christmas cookie and candy jar blocks shown above. Both of our jar quilt blocks would be good choices for a focused swap, where the hostess chooses the type of contents to put in the jar and defines trim and cap colors.

Finished Block Size: 8" x 12"

Colors listed are simply suggestions. Fill your jars with anything you like and trim them with any colors that suit you.
