Jolly Bar Row Along - Week 5


It is Week 5 of the Jolly Bar Row Along with Fat Quarter Shop!!! Fat Quarter Shop has designed a fun (and FREE) sampler quilt with their newly released  The Jolly Bar Book Vol 2 - yay!!! I love this quilt!!! Just look at all the fun Due North Block (Week5).


Week 5: Due North Block

The Due North Blocks were fun to make! If you are using directional fabrics - make sure the fabric is cut so fabric is the correct direction in the final quilt! Two Due North Blocks will be upward and one block will be downward. Don't forget to use pins for perfect points - I love Magic Quilting Pins (here).

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!

I didn't use a pattern for my Prim Project bag because I used my left over fabric...but here is a great video by Riley Blake Designs to make your own (here)

Week 2: Spinning Spools Blocks

I LOVED making the Spinning Spools Blocks! They are just so fun to sew! I enjoyed choosing fabrics to be the thread and spool ends. Be sure to the cut the fabric in the direction you want for spool as the Spinning Spools are vertical or horizontal in the final quilt layout.

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!
