Migration Quilt Blocks: Jolly Bar Row Along

Welcome to the Fat Quarter Shop’s Jolly Bar Row Along week 3 when we sew two Migration quilt blocks. To sew along you’ll need a copy of the new Jolly Bar Book Vol. 2 from the Fat Quarter Shop and weekly instructions found at the Jolly Jabber blog. In case you missed it, you’ll find all the information to start your quilt at the Jolly Jabber kick-off post.

We’re sewing only two blocks this week, so you can easily catch up if you’re joining late. The migration blocks are big and easy — perfect for some of your favorite prints. This week the pretty fabric does all the talking, so pick a few of your favorites. I love aqua!

I did make a minor change to this row, but it’s not a cool customization like Spinning Spools last week. Nope. I actually made a mistake while cutting, so my Migration and next week’s Crushing On You blocks are a half-inch shorter than the pattern prescribes. No one will notice, so it’s not a big deal. I just want you to know that this is a forgiving quilt. So if you make a mistake, there’s probably a way to move forward.

If you haven’t yet, be sure to visit the Jolly Jabber blog for all the details. And you’ll find more inspiration from the other bloggers who are sewing along! The Jolly Bar Book Vol. 2 contains 20 different quilts with complete instructions. The Jolly Bar Row Along quilt is just a sampling of all the quilty goodness.

Joyfully,

Tracie

P.S. If you missed my previous posts, I already sewed 12 Sparrow Tracks blocks and 5 Spinning Spools blocks.
