Good morning! It is bright and sunny in Minnesota already, and we are looking at a high of 37 degrees F today. This is balmy for us, and I am hoping that some of the ice that is everywhere will melt.
On to the good stuff. Today the Fat Quarter Shop has a shortcut pattern for the Jolly Bar Bakewell pattern. This is a fun pattern to make. It is smaller, so it would make a perfect gift for a new little one, or as I'm using it, as a wall hanging. You could always make more blocks and have a bed sized quilt. The blocks are 8-1/2" square and by turning them, you can see other patterns.
I used Sugarcreek by Corey Yoder. These fabrics are just too pretty. When you use a Jolly Bar the cutting is minimal so you can start sewing sooner. I did actually purchase a Layer Cake because these fabrics are too pretty, and I'm thinking I'd like to make more than one. I quilted mine with the serpentine stitch. This is definitely a weekend make!
Thanks for stopping by. You can get the free pattern and video here. Happy Stitching!! --Kristen
