Announcing The Quilty Fun Row Along!

We’re thrilled to share the excitement about our upcoming quilt along celebrating Lori Holt! In honor of the 10th anniversary of Lori Holt’s Quilty Fun Quilt book, her first book with Fat Quarter Shop, we’re delighted to announce The Quilty Fun Row Along from March April 2024 to March 2025. We invite you to join us for a year of festive fun as we recreate Lori Holt’s popular Bee in My Bonnet Row Along Quilt.

A decade ago, Lori Holt and Fat Quarter Shop initiated the Quilty Fun Sew Along and Blog Tour, sewing the iconic Bee in my Bonnet Row Along Quilt to mark the book’s release. Now, as we celebrate this milestone, we invite you to join us on a year-long quilty fun row along sewing this 68.5″ x 86.5″ quilt. All the supplies are listed on the Quilty Fun Supplies Page and below.

Lori plans to share a video tutorial on the 4-Patch row on her YouTube Channel. We don’t have any additional tutorials planned after that, but you can find all the instructions for the blocks in the book. This is a great quilt along for beginners because the rows start out simple and get more challenging as we go.

Kimberly is sewing with a variety of fabrics designed by Lori Holt for Riley Black Designs. These fabrics include selections from Bee Cross Stitch, Bee Basics, Mercantile, Prairie, Home Town, Cook Book, Bee Dots, Bee Plaids, Calico, Bee Vintage and more. You can get the Quilty Fun Row Along Quilt Fabric Kit to sew one just like ours!

Save the Date for Quilty Fun!

Mark your calendars! The Quilty Fun Row Along runs for eleven months, from March April 2024 to March 2025. We initially planned to start in March, but recently moved the start of this quilt along to April so that everyone has time to receive their fabrics. We’re sharing our progress on the last Friday of every month. Share your progress and follow along on “Quilty Fun Fridays” on social media with the hashtag #QuiltyFunRowAlong.

You’ll also want to check out this Livestream where Lori shares details about her fabric collections and sew alongs! To join the Quilty Fun Row Along, gather your supplies so you’re ready to start in March April!

  1. I am in💥👏 I have so many unopened Lori holt fat quarter bundles that I need to tear into! Not to mention my jelly rolls and layer cakes 🙂

  2. Have the book and lots of Lori Holt collections. Looking forward to making this with everyone!

  3. I’ve been a fan of Lori’s from day 1! My only question is this going to require Lori’s templates?

  4. I’ve had this book for the longest time! Now I have the incentive I need to open it and make this fabulous project!

  5. I, too, have had this book in my library and not done anything with it. I have a FQ bundle and some charm packs of PRIM that I need to use as well. Looking forward to joining in!

  6. When Lori’s book first came out, my best friend and I did the row along together. We each did 2 rows of half the quilt and exchanged our rows. She made me the cutest label. You guys are going to have a blast! I love my Lori Holt Quilty fun quilt!!
