Welcome to the No Bake Jolly Bar Blog Hop hosted by Fat Quarter Shop! I was delighted when I was asked to participate - can you tell why? This pattern is so easy to make and perfect for Fat Quarter Shop's Jolly Bars. These precut rectangles are so easy to use - click here to see my first quilt made with them.
I chose the Daysail Jolly Bar by Bonnie and Camille for Moda. What a fun fabric line! The pattern takes 2 Jolly Bars (although there was enough left for a crib size quilt which I will show you soon). The white fabric is Bella Solids White #98 - super crisp white. I used Aurifil 50 wt for precise piecing.
This quilt is special for many reasons, but most of all because it was the first project I quilted using a long-arm machine! So scary after quilting everything with my Bernina. To get used to it I quilted meandering with hearts here and there. I plugged along and was done in 4 hours! My shoulders and wrists were very happy with the change in equipment!!!
After holding the quilt for me so I could photograph it my youngest son, Ryan, rolled it up and decided it was his advanced Christmas gift! Not so fast, boy!
Fat Quarter Shop's free pattern can be downloaded by clicking here. They also launched a video to help you with the piecing. If you want to jump right in, FQS has prepared kits for this quilt. Click on the links below to see them:

I look forward to reading your project ideas using Jolly Bars. In the meantime, enjoy the Blog Hop...
I am fond of the quilts my grandmother made. She almost exclusively made one-patch quilts. I would take that package of precuts and make one like the ones she made for her grandchildren.
ReplyDeleteI love nine patch quils and log cabins - and this free pattern! I cant decide!! But I would love to do one in holiday fabrics - Jingle would be great!
ReplyDeleteI follow your blog on Bloglovn! have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI'd make a small lap quilt to cozy up with on the couch at night. Happy Friday!

Hi Denise! If I had a jolly bar bundle, I'd plan to make the No Bake Pattern pictured from FQS. I love it and it would fit so many people on my list as I change out the fabrics and colors. duchick at gmail dot com

Well, of course I would make this No Bake Jolly Bar quilt if I won your drawing! It's so fast & easy....I'm going to look through my stash this weekend to get a head start. I bet I can even make one by Christmas! YAY--thanks for the nice drawing.
ReplyDeleteI really like the house quilt you made with a jolly bar and I like the half-rectangle triangle patterns I've started to see...not sure what I'd settle on in the end.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great quilt. Love it! I would love to make one with different blues.

ReplyDeleteI love your quilt. I agree with your son. I want one also. I love the Daysail fabric. I would like to make one using the Daysail jolly bar. Thanks for sharing. Teddiechristine at Gmail dot com.
ReplyDeleteI really like this quilt pattern. I would try to make that with my Jolly Bars!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fresh, pretty quilt! I've never worked with precut rectangles before. I think it would be fun to make a big flying geese quilt with them. Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeletesounds like your son is just like my daughter, if she gets the quilt in her hands it ends up walking out the door to her house.. but then I did the same thing to my mom so it must just be something all quilters children do..at least we know our work is appreciated.. I think I would use the pre cuts in a cuddle quilt for my grand daughter.
ReplyDeleteProbably capy the quilt everyone made for the blog hop. It looks fun, bright and interesting. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI 'd like to make the quilt here that everyone has been doing! Such a pretty quilt!
ReplyDeleteI receive your newsletter.
ReplyDeleteI am a novice quilter so I will stick to something very simple. A quilt for my grandson definitely.

ReplyDeleteI would make a quilt. love this pattern and have been thinking of a quick quilt for the neighbors
ReplyDeleteI'd probably make this quilt. THe pattern is quick and the result is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteLove your quilt - I'd make a Christmas quilt for my husband & I. I've been making several Christmas quilts (for gifts) from scraps acquired over 40+ years of quilting, but never made a Christmas quilt for us! Love the fabric line and that its an easy quilt to put together....
ReplyDeleteI would make s baby quilt or two. I need to make two for new babies arriving in the family in February and April.
