You’ll Love Making This Colorful Quilt

It’s Quick, Easy, and Charming in Any Color Theme!
Colorful squares in two sizes create a fun quilt that’s sure to make everyone smile. The quilt is super simple to make and a relatively quick project.
It was designed for Jolly Bars, which are 5″ x 10″ fabric pieces. You can cut your own from 10″ layer cake squares (or yardage), or choose from the Jolly Bars found here.
Fat Quarter Shop provides a free pattern for the quilt and a video tutorial (the kit is no longer available). Instructions are included for the following three quilt sizes:
- Small lap – 48.5″ x 48.5″
- Large Lap – 64.5″ x 80.5″
- Queen – 80.5″ x 96.5″
The pattern can be accessed directly here.
