With the calendar shifting to September, it’s clear cooler weather is on the way. That means it’s time to start thinking about the harvest season and canning. To honor this tradition, this week’s design is the Canning Jar quilt block.
While I personally do not can any fruits or veggies, I am always amazed with my friends who do.
Canning Jar Quilt Block
The Canning Jar quilt block is available in two finished sizes that measure:
- 6″ x 6″ (15.2 x 15.2 cm)
- 12″ x 12″ (33 x 33 cm)
Materials & Supplies:
- Assorted Fabrics: Red, Pink, Blue, Brown and Background Prints
- Cutting mat/ Rotary cutter/ Quilt ruler
- Heat erasing marking tool
- Spray starch
- Flatter Spray
- Sewing Machine
Now even though I made my jar in berry colors, I can imagine this block being stitched up in all different colors. Think about all the different things that folks can. From peaches to pickles, there are so many options!
Like many of the other blocks included in my Blocks 2 Quilt series, this patchwork quilt block is easy to make, requires no special tools, templates, or rulers. To show you just how easy, I put together this quick video.
There are a few smaller sized pieces required on the 6″ finished block so please keep that in mind when sewing.
The Canning Jar quilt pattern is available for free until September 10th, 2020, after that it will be available for purchase in the shop. Just click the button below, add the pattern to your cart and follow the prompts for check out.
PIN THIS BLOCK
Since this is one of those blocks that might not be needed every day you will want to PIN THIS to your favorite quilt board on Pinterest so you can find it later. This way, when you are looking for inspiration you can find it in a flash!

…another nice block..I see wonderful possibilities in using it. My latest email from you is dated Sept 2, and has the Sunflower Block….not this post. So I went to download that block and see that it’s not available now. I haven’t received this post with the canning jar even though it’s Sept 4. Sigh…. p.s. your blocks really are wonderful.
