Jolly Bar Quilt Along with Fat Quarter Shop - Week 3 AND a Giveaway!

It's week 3 of the quilt along!

I'm really enjoying this Jolly Bar 3 sew along - it's the perfect speed for me. I have a lot on my plate, so I don't want to commit to a lot of extra stuff every week. This gives me some "me" sewing time - and I'm going to end up with a gorgeous table runner!

This week's block is "Springtime Bliss" from the Jolly Bar Book 3. This book is an awesome book to have even if you aren't sewing along - gives you a ton of blocks that you can use with either jolly bars or layer cakes.

One thing to mention when you're making these blocks - there can be a lot of scrap. So that you aren't wasting fabric, you can sew another seam 1/2" away from the block seam, and when you cut your block, you'll end up with bonus hst's (see above and below)! You can then use these to make bonus blocks, in quilts, or to make zippered pouches - just to give a few suggestions.

Make sure you check out The Jolly Jabber to get all of the details for each week and find out who else is sewing along!

Oh - now for the big news!! I will be having several giveaways during the quilt along!! Last week was an Oliso Mini Iron (check out this post to see who won - will be announced soon)! Some awesome companies are providing some wonderful goodies (Fat Quarter Shop, Oliso, Hobbs Batting, and Glide Thread to name a few).

This week, we're having a Fat Quarter Shop Giveaway! This giveaway includes the America the Beautiful Jolly bar by Deb Strain and background yardage -Moda Marbles Sweet Off White Yardage. You can make your own table runner. You will still need binding and backing, but this will get you started!  The giveaway ends on Sunday, April 25. Thank you, Fat Quarter Shop!
