Unfortunately I completely missed my day to blog about the new and
exclusive pre-cut by Moda and from the Fat Quarter Shop!
I am so sorry to have missed my day to show what I made from my
"Jolly Bar"!
Yes, the new pre-cut is called a Jolly Bar!
I know, cute huh?
It's a 5" x 10" cut of a collection. It's half the size of a layer cake or you could say it's
like 2 charm packs... but better!
Kimberly Jolly (get it-- jolly bar) put together a great video about it and you can
view it here.
I was asked to play along and make up a quilt using
the new 3 Sisters line called Atelier.
The colors in this collection are gorgeous and I was so excited to come
up with a pattern using this collection from 3 Sisters.
I stopped midstream due to the passing of my mom.
But I have finally gotten my little happy self back in gear
and completed my project!
I really liked the grey as a background...
it worked well with the rich colors in the group.
The block was easy enough to put together.
Using the 5" x 10" Jolly Bar I paired a background fabric the same size
with the Jolly Bar and cut 6, 2 1/2" squares... then sewed them into half square triangles.
The remaining 2 1/2" x 5" section was reserved for the border.
Those were sewn together like a piano key border and then cut in half to
create the checkerboard.
I hope you give the new Jolly Bar a try!
But wait... there's more!!!
It comes with a pattern inside too.
Woohoo!

Deepest sympathies for your mom's passing! Beautiful quilt.
That is beautiful. I really like the gray. The Candy Bar size is a great idea.
It's actually called a Jolly Bar not candy bar. I'm a fat quarter shop groupie so I know this to be true. I love your quilt, it's just beautiful.
Oh gosh Sinta, I think of you every day. I am glad you are back at your machine....because I know how much you love that.
I am off to view the clip.
Love the quilt

Such a pretty quilt Sinta -- love your choice of fabrics!
Beautiful quilt...and better late than never! Love it!

What a fun quilt! I'm so sorry to read of your Mom's passing. ((hugs))
I love this size and will be giving it a try
I would never have guessed that you used a precut for this quilt! I'm happy to read that you're starting to feel better.
Sorry to hear about the passing of your mother. A very sad time for you. Had she lived to an old age? I hope you are doing ok.
