I am working on one right now and I am using ONLY RJR Farmers Market fabrics. Mine come from the LQS. They are running around $9 per yard but really a FQ will do what you want to do. I wasn't thinking and got 1/2 yard of 30 different prints. I have enough for at least 4 queen quilts and lots of fabric left over. The one I am doing now does not have 2 jars alike. I am even putting some produce in baskets on the shelves. Poor hubby has got to be sick of me asking what he thinks and how it looks but bless his heart he always gives me an answer but I will tell you that to be so simple it is probably the most time consuming quilt I have ever worked on. Hopefully I will have the top finished this weekend and I will proudly and gladly post pics.
