Did you see the new Canning jar die from Accuquilt?
I used it to make this fun wall hanging!
I used selvedge edges for it, and it’s sort of trapunto!
First I cut out scraps of batting to fit over the canning jar shape on the die, then I got out my bin of selvedge edges
Then I started stitching them down onto the batting with a straight stitch and starting at the bottom because of the way the text is on the selvedge edges
I filled up 9 of these
Then laid on the die (one at a time) and cut them out
Then I cut out the rest of the pieces with lovely Fairy Frost fabrics from Michael Miller
I sewed them all together with sashing in-between
I think the jars are just such fun!!
around the sashing and inner border I added faint pinwheel blocks- the picture on Accuquilt’s website hardly shows these pinwheels, but I think they are really cute! and then another light blue border.
It’s rare that I do this, but I custom quilted this quilt
It’s fun to practice that skill after mostly doing computerized edge to edge quilting!
The quilt finished 39″ x 39″
I think I saw this on a show not long ago! Great idea for those selvedges, nice quilting too:)
Love the die cut and your use of scraps. Thanks for sharing!
Very creative and beautiful! You are a quilting rock star!!
aww thanks Nancy!!
