Jolly Bar Book Volume 5 is here, which means it’s time for another volume of your favorite Book Series that features patterns using the precut that always hits the sweet spot! Jolly Bar Books are so much fun to put together because we get to re-visit some of our favorite quilt patterns from past Jolly Bars and put them together for you to enjoy in the sweetest spiral-bound book. If Jolly Bars are one of your favorite precuts too, keep reading to learn more about this book and the quilt tour we’re hosting with eight amazing quilters to celebrate!
Jolly Bars are a 5″ x 10″ precut that’s exclusive to Fat Quarter Shop, and they hit the sweet spot between a Layer Cake (10″ x 10″) and a Charm Pack (5″ x 5″)! Like your other favorite precuts, each Jolly Bar bundle comes with 42 cuts of fabric so that you can get a taste of everything a collection has to offer. Plus, this time-saving precut helps you make the most of your fabric by trimming down on fabric waste.
Treat yourself to some sneak peeks from the book next Friday when you tune into the Livestream on April 18th at 9 AM CST. But first, get ready for a (super secret) super exciting announcement that you won’t want to miss over on our socials this Friday, April 11th! Be sure to follow us on Instagram and Facebook if you haven’t already. As an appetizer, here are a couple of quilts from the book that have quilt kits.
This is the Starlings Quilt, and if you want to make it just like ours, we have a fabric kit and backing set available!
The Secret Garden Quilt also has a fabric kit and backing set if you’re looking to make a cover-worthy quilt of your own!
Then, if that wasn’t enough, here are a few of the different blocks from Jolly Bar Book Vol. 5!
Luckily for you, you can get the Jolly Bar Book Vol. 5 today! They’re on our shelves and waiting eagerly to be added to your library. The book includes 20 full-color quilt patterns designed just for our exclusive Jolly Bar precuts. What are you waiting for?! Grab a few Jolly Bars, pick a design, and get sewing!

I preordered my copy. It came in the mail yesterday. The are quite a few quilts in this book that I want to make! I’m so glad I preordered, now I have all of the Jolly Bar books!
I got this yesterday. I think it is the best volume yet!
I’m looking forward to sewing up the quilt on the cover. Looks cute and super scrappy! I have several jolly bars on hand to choose from but I’m thinking about getting the new Sweetwater jolly bar. It’s too cute!
I have all the Jolly Bar books and have participated in all the quilt alongs. I am looking forward to the next quilt along, I love these books.
