jolly bar row along quilt

Have you seen the new Jolly Bar 2 Book? Well, it's filled with 20 fun and simple quilts, and you are going to love it!!  Lets have a sew along....

The Jolly Bar Book Volume 2 includes 20 quilt patterns designed by my friends at It's Sew Emma just for these precuts.  Grab a Jolly Bar, pick any design and enjoy! These quilts offer a wide range of styles while still being beginner-friendly. You will want to make them over and over again. 

To celebrate the book, The Fat Quarter Shop is hosting the Jolly Bar Row Along! This sew along is a little different than any of the others I've done before, because we are going to sew them row-by-row to make this beautiful sampler quilt, it is full of sparrows, butterflies, hearts and more!

UPDATE: Due to some shipping delays at Fat Quarter Shop the sew along has been postponed so everyone has time to get their book and supplies and participate!  Yay, I hope you will come join me!  
Monday June 29th, we’ll be sewing one row a week for seven weeks. The quilt we’re making uses some of the blocks from the book, and mixed together they make a beautiful lap-sized quilt. I hope you will come join me!  

Here is the one that Kimberly made, it finishes at 51" x 56"

To join the Jolly Bar Row Along, you’ll need a copy of the Jolly Bar Book Volume 2.  Then you can join us each Thursday here on the blog for the cutting instructions.
If you want to make one like Kimberly, here is what she used. ​
(Kimberly used  Bloomington collection by Lella Boutique for Moda Fabrics.)


Here are the fabric requirements, order supplies or gather from your stash and come sew with me! Download your copy here.

This time I decided to do some low volume goodness for my quilt, so I got the Modern Backgrounds More Paper Jolly Bar by Zen Chic for Moda.  But I am going to add in a little surprise splash of color, I hope my vision turns out, fingers crossed! ​

There is a fun lineup of quilty friends who will be sewing along.  Check out their social media and blogs to see their progress and tips along the way!
