Jolly Bar Row Along - Week 1

It's time to start the Jolly Bar Row Along with Fat Quarter Shop!!! Fat Quarter Shop has designed a fun sampler quilt with their newly released The Jolly Bar Book Vol 2 - yay!!! I love this quilt!!! Just look at all those lovely Sparrow Tracks Blocks (Week 1).

For the Jolly Bar Row Along, Fat Quarter Shop will be releasing weekly block requirements over the next 7 weeks. At the end of the quilt along, you will have completed the Jolly Bar Row Along Quilt!

The Jolly Bar Row Along Quilt is a sampler quilt and measures 51" x 56" (lap size). Sewing sampler quilts are my favorite as I'm able to sew a variety of blocks into one quilt! Sampler Quilts are great for sewing a few blocks as a trial before committing to sew 12, 20, 25, 36, or more of that block. The Jolly Bar Row Along Quilt Schedule is at the end of this post - just scroll down.

Week 1: Sparrow Track Blocks

I LOVED making the Sparrow Track Blocks! They are just so fun to sew! I even mixed and matched some of my fabrics so the points were different from the squares ... love it! I think this block would make the cutest scrappy quilt...hmmm I might have to make one :).

Are you ready to join the Jolly Bar Row Along?!?!

This lovely quilt has spools, hearts, butterflies, and more! Fat Quarter Shop sewed their quilt using the Bloomington Collection by Lella Boutique, which is lovely.

I'm sewing with At Home by Bonnie & Camille. I think the At Home collection is perfect for my quarantine at home. I also love all of Bonnie & Camille's fabric collections! What is super cool about the At Home Jolly Bar is that BOTH Bonnie's (red) and Camille's (blue) color ways are included in the Jolly Bar! I'm also going to add little Bonnie & Camille pink into my quilt as I can't make a Bonnie & Camille quilt without pink!
