Its a very easy block to make. Try to choose fabrics that look like tightly packed foods would look in a jar.
The finished block is 5 1/2"x10 1/2". My sashing strips are 1 1/2" wide, you could make them wider.
The "jar" section is 5 1/2"x 9 1/2".
Six 1 1/2" squares , 2 go on the sides of the lid,the other 4 are for the corners of the jar fabric, you do a folded corner(sew diagonally across the square and cut off only the middle piece, leave 1/4", fold back). The lid section is 1 1/2" x 4 1/2". I liked to use striped fabric for the lids when I could find the right fabric, you can have either vertical or horizontal striped fabrics.
You can see a picture of my quilt in webshots.
