The pattern by Doug Leko of Antler Quilt Designs uses partial seams, but he makes it easy with the technique you’ll find in the free video tutorial.

  1. Just ran across this site am xcited to try patterns even though i am a new quilter

  2. I absolutely love Jolly Bars! You get the same amount of fabric as 2 charm packs. However, because they are not cut in two, you get more pattern possibilities because you get the 10-inch width. Priced under $20, it is a lower cost way for me to play with a new fabric line, without having to invest in a layer cake or jelly roll.
