As someone who's recently been interviewing for Qt jobs (and got one), 
this is not something it occurred to me to do.  You would be better off 
taking actual application source code to demonstrate.

Most of the Qt-related questions I was asked were on e.g. QObject and 
meta-object system (signals and slots etc), threads, 
internationalization.  QML is obviously the big new thing so might also 
come up.  I would also second the recommendation to get a Qt 
certification, the exam is really rather easy and having it goes down 
well with recruiters.
