What is a bottle quilt?
You use novelty fabric ..like a piece of fabric that has bugs
on it... or jelly beans... or buttons, etc.
It is pieced to the shape of a mason jar or bottle. The *jar*
is a print for the "contents" of the jar. You add a fabric
for the top lid. After your done, it looks like you have a
jar with jelly beans inside... or bugs or vegetables. Get it?
You can pick all different novelty fabrics and make rows of "jars".
You may "Can" anything your heart desires!
Here are some WWW sites with bottle/jar completed
