As mentioned above, Jolly Bars are a much loved precut, exclusive to Fat Quarter Shop. Coming in at 5″ x 10″, they are exactly half the size of a Layer Cake. Jolly Bars cut down tons of time at your cutting table, and each Jolly Bar bundle comes with a quilt pattern designed specifically for that bundle.

Coming Soon!!!

To celebrate the release of the Christmas Jolly Bar Book, we are hosting the Holly Jolly Quilt Along starting September 3rd. In the spirit of holiday joy and sharing, we’ve curated a special sampler quilt that features twelve delightful blocks from the book plus three additional blocks to create a charming pieced backing. The finished quilt measures 70.5″ x 80″ and whether you pull fabrics from your stash for a scrappy quilt or you use the Home Town Holiday fabrics that we use, this is going to look sew good in your home.
