Jolly Bar Volume 5!!!

So if you have visited at Happy Quilting for a while you know I love to make quilts using Pre-Cuts!   And a favorite Pre-Cut is the Jolly Bar :)  A Jolly Bar is a 5"x 10" precut exclusive to Fat Quarter Shop.  It's right between a Layer Cake and a Charm Pack and is a great size for making so many wonderful quilts!  So when Fat Quarter Shop announced they were releasing their newest  Jolly Bar Volume 5 Book, I just knew I wanted to make some of the quilts from it.  I was fortunate enough to get a sneak peek of all 20 of the quilts from Jolly Bar Vol 5 and choose to make this gorgeous Just Peach Quilt! Isn't it just so sweet!!

And did you catch that . . . there are 20 Jolly Bar Quilt patterns in the  Jolly Bar Vol 5.   That is so many pretty quilts all packed into this one book!!!  Believe me, it was hard to pick a favorite to make for this Book Tour ;)    And past Jolly Bar Books also have 20 quilts each, so if you have all 5 of the Jolly Bar Books (which I just happen to have :) you will have a collection of 100 Jolly Bar Quilt Designs!!!  So many 

 For my Just Peach Quilt, I went with an Abloom Jolly Bar by Corey Yoder for Moda.  I mean, the colors of this line totally read Just Peachy right!!1  I love how soft they are ;)   And Corey's prints are so beautiful with lovely florals, dainty birds, and pretty plaids!   I pulled out the Dark Coral prints and used them for the block centers, cornerstones, and binding and I love how they just pop!

Just Peachy finishes at 62 1/2" x 62 1/2" so it makes a great lap size quilt, all with 1 Jolly Bar, a background fabric, and a binding print.  In fact, 17 of the quilts in the book use just 1 Jolly Bar, a background fabric, and a binding print to make baby size to lap size quilts.  There are 3 patterns in the Jolly Bar Volume 5 Book that use 2 Jolly Bars for larger sized quilts ;)   

And when it came time to quilt my Just Peachy quilt top, I decided I wanted to keep the super soft feel to the quilt.  So of course, I went with my trusty all over Loose feather design.  It just adds so much texture while still being not to dense, and soft and pretty!!  And ya, now it is super snuggly!!

And that is my Just Peachy Quilt from the new  Jolly Bar Volume 5 Book!  And now I can't wait to make more Jolly Bar Quilts!!!  At the top of my list is the Holly Berry Quilt and the Timberland Roses Quilt ;)
