It's Friday - Bake Shop Day!

Today is bittersweet, it is the last of the 12 squares in this series! That's right, this little jam jar makes 12 (plus the bonus traditional granny square made to match this series which you can find HERE).

Don't worry though, friends - next week I'll be posting about how to join these squares with a simple, fun method and soon after that we will be talking border and finishing! There is still a bit more Bake Shop in your future.


I wanted to make the last square in this series a jam jar because of my own deep-running love for homemade jam. I always make my own from whatever berries I can get my hands on (I even made my own homemade triple berry jam favors for my baby shower!) so I knew that jam had to make the cut.

What is sweeter? Nothin' I tell ya, NOTHIN'.
