Default bug jars pattern

Does anyone remember the wallhanging pattern with the jars of creepy
crawlies on shelves?
I think there were 9 jars in all. I've been looking for the pattern with no
luck,
I guess it's been discontinued. Does anyone have one they would like to
sell for a reasonable
price?

This is one of the free bug jar patterns online. There are others. But
this one looks pretty basic and good.

Do a Google Images search for BUG JAR QUILTS and you will get many images of
layouts for your quilt. The pattern that Sunny provided is a good one. If
you would like to consider others... just google for BUG JAR QUILT BLOCK
PATTERN.

Just in case you prefer applique, I have drafted a few jar shapes to
use for making blocks and can send them to you as .jpg files. The
"shelves" are just a form of sashing and can be easily made in any
size you need. All the added crawlies and such can be from special
buttons, store bought appliques, fussy cut from fabrics, or from
things like Halloween toys. With an applique wall hanging you can
really let your creative juices flow.

I never did a bug jar quilt but it might be fun to appliqué a
can of 'RAID' or a flyswatter on it somewhere.

cute idea!
You could add a mouse running on the shelf and a mousetrap too.
