No Bake Jolly Bar Quilt!!!

Today I am super excited to share with you a new finish, and just in time for the Holidays ;)  I was thrilled when the Fat Quarter Shop asked me if I wanted to help them celebrate the 1 Year Anniversary of their pre-cut The Jolly Bar by making a No-Bake Jolly Bar Quilt and I knew right away that I wanted to make a Christmas one!!

I used Hollys Tree Farm by Sweetwater for Moda.  I love the happy Christmas colors and the super fun and adorable prints!!!   It is just so fun!!!  I used the polka dot print from April Showers by Bonnie and Camille for Moda for the background and just love the way it looks like little snowballs ;)

 I just love the fun design in this quilt and the great movement.  And it is certainly a short-cut quilt as it has some fun little tricks of how to make this super quick!!!

And of course, Kimberly has made an awesome video tutorial that helps you along every step of the way making it go even quicker ;)

In fact, I spent more time quilting mine than piecing it, which still wasn't too long ;)  I decided to do double arches in the prints to make the cool orange peel design and then large pebbles in the background that hopefully looks like some snowballs and continues the whole snowball theme going on there ;)  I just love pebbling on Christmas quilts ;)

And of course, you have to love all of the super yummy texture it creates ;)   Just perfect for snuggling up in front of the fire with ;)  

And that is my Christmas Time No Bake Jolly Bar quilt ;)  This really is a super fun quilt to make, and you could totally still make one up for Christmas ;)   You can find the free pattern here and all the Jolly Bars here (which just happen to be on Sale!!!)   And if you don't want to make a Christmas one, you can always do like Kimberly and make up a beautiful one to use all year round.   You can find the original No Bake Jolly Bar quilt kit here and the backing set for it here .

Have a very Happy Quilting Weekend!!!

Linking up this finish to Amanda's and Sarah's :)

Its Bee Time

All caught up on my bee blocks once more ;)  I actually finished these the last day of November, so technically, they were on time ;)  

Lindsey is making a super fun quilt for her daughter with all of her daughter's favorites represented.   I choose to do the Avengers and did an appliqued logo and called the block Avengers Assemble.  Ya, I am a bit of a super hero geek ;)    I love the grunge background, it really makes the solid white logo stand out ;)  This quilt is going to be so cool!!!

And in Bees Knees this month, Sinta asked us to make a Irish Chain Scrap Buster block from Red Pepper Quilts tutorial here.  I always love doing patchwork and this one was no exception.  Love how that black pops!!!

And now it's December and it's my Month for Beejeebers ;)  I decided to ask everyone to make a Scrappy Trip Around the World block ;)   Nice and easy for December.  We are using Bonnie Hunter's tutorial here to make the blocks.  Such a fast and easy way to make these ;)

And you will notice, that I am playing with red, black, and white again ;)  Everyone is going to use this color scheme so that I can turn the blocks into another SUU quilt for donation.   Now the only hard part will be deciding on a layout.  

The possibilities are truly endless.   Good thing I have a little while to decide ;)  

I hope you are having a very Happy Quilting Day!!!!
