Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks Sampler Sew Along – Kimberly’s Block & a GIVEAWAY!

448 Comments
Hello, Quilting Friends! Today we’re giving you an up close and personal look at an old quilt block that Kimberly designed for a previous issue of Quiltmaker’s 100 Blocks publication that is now included in their 100 Blocks Sampler Quilt!  The editors had a wonderful idea to shrink their favorite blocks from all different 100 Blocks issues down to 6″ from the usual 12″ and combine them into a fantastic sampler quilt for the 100 Blocks blog tour!
We love each of the three color ways that their quilters created for this event: Reproduction, Red & White, and Traditional! It’s always so fun to see how different a block can look depending on fabric choices and placement, don’t you think?
These are the completed quilts in the three different color ways. Gorgeous! If you’d like to read more about the blocks, the quilts, the publication and the blog hop, you can link over to Quiltmaker’s blog Quilt Pleasures HERE!

We’re happy to celebrate these beautiful 100 Blocks Sampler Quilts with our own sweet giveaway, three Jolly Bars to three lucky winners!  In case you aren’t familiar with Jolly Bars, they are precuts exclusive to Fat Quarter Shop.  Here’s a quick video with more information!
 
As Kimberly shares in the video, each Jolly Bar contains 42 – 5″x 10″ cuts of beautiful Moda fabric.  Even better?  Each Jolly Bar contains a free pattern specific to that collection – sew fun! 
http://www.fatquartershop.com/little-ruby-jolly-bar-bonnie-camille-for-moda-fabrics
For example, here’s the quilt made from the pattern that comes with the Little Ruby Jolly Bar – it’s called Spinning Spools! We also have Jolly Bar Quilt Kits, which are super fun and sew easy to stitch up, so take a peek!

  63. How do I pick one???!! ????
    I love Little Ruby, Handmade, and Little Miss Sunshine! But, I think if I was able to win one- I would ask for Behind the Scenes by Jen Kingwell! I love how the free pattern looks and it's so modern!!

  75. Oh gosh! A choice…….never give a quilter a choice because we want them all. So petty every one. So I decided to open up the page with all the Jolly bars, close my eyes and stab at the screen with my pointer finger. Opened my eyes and I had landed on PRAIRIE! That is my choice. Thanks for the chance.

  77. I love the Persimmon with the little grey birds….so cute! Would love to win some of these. I have a problem with my arthritic hands so the pre-cuts work great for me! Thanks for the chance to win!! Helen hrglover at hotmail dot com

  82. What a dilemma! If I can only have one, I'll take either UNION BLUES or AMERICAN JANE. Thanks for a great giveaway! (Like your block.)

  84. I have watched the creation of the quilt using Little Ruby, and have fallen in love with it. That's the one I would pick. robinsheloratearthlinkdotnet

  85. Oh goodness! It's a tough choice but right now Junioer Berry is catching my eye. Have you thought of publishing a book with the Jolly Bar patterns? I love their simplicity! Thanks for the opportunity to win!

  89. My favorite is Under the Mistletoe, as I love all things Christmas. This would be perfect for a table runner or placemats for a great gift for someone special.

  91. My favorite is Behind the Scenes Jolly Bar All those greys would be so much fun to play with. Thanks for the opportunity.

  94. You always have such innovative ideas, jolly bars being one of them! I'd love either Farmhouse or Little Ruby and the spools quilt is amazing. Thanks!

  95. My favorite is Kindred Spirits Jolly Bar. These spectacular vibrant colors in a specific quilt pattern would be so beautiful! Thank you for the opportunity to win this fantastic prize!

  98. Oh so many choices and they are all wonderful. But if I must chose today First Crush is speaking to me so First Crush it is.

  101. I would love to win Brighten Up! Jolly Bar® Reservation
    Me and My Sister Designs for Moda Fabrics

    I would use it to make a quilt for my granddaughter!!!

  104. Handmade by Bonnie and Camille would be a good addition to my fabric collection. Love the Quiltmaker project of 6" blocks!! Thank you for the chance in the giveaway.

  106. I think I would wait a bit till the Handmade Jolly Bar is released and then pick that! BTW love your Jolly Bars after charm packs my most favorite precut:-)

  107. Carolyn. Love love Little Ruby. The coming of July reminds me of my late Mother and the birthstone Rubies! The spinning spools quilt is the icing on the cake for these memories and how as a little girl I would watch the thread coming off those spools as she sewed.

  111. I'd choose to wait for Bonnie and Camille's Handmade, if that's an option. Otherwise, I'd go with the Wool and Needles flannel.

  120. Oh I'd chose Behind the Scene by Jen Kingwell… I've been collecting her fabrics and stashing them away for the perfect quilt! Thanks for the giveaway !

  121. I would like the First Crush Jolly Bar, but a close second would be Varsity.
    It is a win-win with a free pattern. Thank you for the giveaway.

  124. "Bread & Butter" would probably be something that I would pass up in my lqs – it is just a little out of my norm – but after looking at it it would be my choice if I won – it's pretty, I love the colors and patterns in this selection and it would be something totally different from my "stash" and I would absolutely love to "play" with it! Thanks for the op!

  128. I would use Little Miss Sunshine or Summerfest or Bread and Butter, love all of these. Thank you for this super great giveaway.
    Have a super great sewing and stitching day!

  129. I am a big Fig Tree Quilts fan and would love to make the quilt that accompanies the "farmhouse" jelly roll. Thanks for the chance to do this.

  132. I like the Bread & Butter by American Jane Jolly Bar. It has my favorite color (yellow) in it. Thanks for giving away the Jolly Bars!

  133. I used Bread and Butter awhile back with the pattern it came with. Beautiful little quilt!

    Now I'm up for another adventure. LITTLE RUBY! is my pick if I win. Thanks so much for the contest.

  137. Fay, I love everything by Fig Tree and Company. I don't own any Jelly Bars and would love to win one.

  139. Since I already have Gooseberry, Little Ruby, and Bread 'n Butter Jolly Bars, I would LOVE to have a SummerFest Jolly Bar. As soon as I finish my Lori Holt Bloom Quilt, I'll be ready to make some FAST Jolly Bar quilts.

  142. Love the modern theme in Treehouse or anything American Jane. Thanks for the fun!

  144. I was immediately drawn to juniper berry – then when I went back and looked at it, no wonder, it is basic grey and I love everything that basic grey puts out!

  151. I'd love to make a quilt with the Little Miss Sunshine Jolly Bars for my granddaughter who is due in December! Thank you!

  157. I'm really liking the Juniper Berry right now! Thanks so much for the chance to win 🙂

  160. I have been working on a quilt using Somerset that I purchased last year, it's slow going because this collection is hard to find these days.
    I'm in love with the color combo!

  163. I'd absolutely love to win the Little Ruby Jolly Bar! It's retro and happy and bright, and the Spinning Spools quilt looks like a perfect project to showcase the fabrics!!

  166. I would LOVE to win "Wool & Needle Flannels III." There is something about those colors, the flannel, and the quilt pattern that really calls out to me. Thanks!

  167. Should I be lucky enough to win, I would choose the Prairie Jolly Bar® by Corey Yoder for Moda Fabrics. So pretty! Thanks for the chance.

  174. they would all be fun to work with of course, but I think I would like Farmhouse by Fig Tree. So pretty. Thanks so much for sharing!

  177. I love so many of the Jelly Bars – picking a favorite is hard! I think Prairie would be my choice today 😉 Thanks for the chance to win!

  179. That's a tough choice; so many great lines. I would love some Little Ruby for my collection. Wouldn't that be a cute baby gift?

  185. Bread N Butter by American Jane is my favorite. The vibrant yellow immediately took my memory back to my mom's kitchen many, many, many years ago. Oh how I miss her! And her kitchen!

  189. It's not out yet, but I'm totally drooling over Sundrops! Whimsical and geometric combined get me every time. (If I have to pick something out now, then Little Ruby would be my first pick!) Thanks for the chance!

  193. Well, it was pretty hard to pick a favorite!! But after staring at all the great choices for 10 minutes, I finally decided on Under the Mistletoe– you can never have enough Christmas fabric!!

  195. So exciting! Thank you for the chance to win! Id like to win the Kindred Spirits Jolly bar. They are all gorgeous, but this color way fits a quilt that I plan. I love it!
    Thanks again

  200. How funny, I was just looking at Jolly bars last night! I am in LOOOOVE with Juniper Berry, so thats the one for me. I have not yet tried jolly bars and was trying to decide if i should give it a go or not. I am not great at trying new things when spending money is involved. But I really want that fabric and i think Jolly bars are exactly what i need. Thanks for coming up with another great way for us to support our precut addiction 🙂 I love it!

  322. Tough choice, but I'd go with Basic Mixologie by Studio M. The quilt pattern that goes along with it just makes the jolly bar jump-and the colors in that mix make me smile.

  325. 'Wool & Needle Flannels III' is the Jolly Bar, I'd love to win. Other than for its gorgeous tones and textures, it's Winter here in Australia and I'd love to make a lap quilt using this range to help keep me warm.

  334. Sticks & Stone Prints by Laundry Basket Quilts Jolly Bar would make a lovey `Spinning Spools` quilt. Happy Stitching.

  337. I haven't got any Bonnie and Camille fabric in my stash but follow them (and FQS) on Instagram and LOVE what they create with their fabrics.
    I would love the Little Ruby Jolly Bar. So cute and make the spool sampler by Cottonway.

  390. What a great idea! Jolly bars are a perfect size for fast and easy quilts! I cherish my sewing time. It is my 'happy place' place right now as I'm having to deal with some major life challenges. Sewing gives me time to relax and get away from it all…at least for a few hours!
