Jolly Bar Quilt Along Week 1 - Treasure Trove Block 1

Hello and Welcome to

In The Boon Docks my name is Lisa Johnson

I’ll be sewing along over the next 8 weeks to make a Tablerunner!

I want to thank the 

Fat Quarter Shop 

for letting me participate in this 

Quilt Along and being one of the bloggers

Read all about the quilt along on the 

Jolly Jabber

Today begins Week 1 of the 

Jolly Bar 3 Quilt Along

You can click on the above link to get block 

dates and fabric requirements!

To do these blocks you will need the book

Jolly Bar Book Vol. 3

This weeks block is 

Treasure Trove

Page 66

Here is mine using 

Blooming Bunch

This fabric screams Spring to me!

I love it!

First I sorted out my Jolly Bar by color family!

This helps you choose which ones you will use in the block

Choose (8) 

 (if you have 4 color families such as I did, 2 of each)!

If you look at the center of the finished block it should have 

all (8) fabrics in it!

That is how I knew I did it right.

The Perfect 10 ruler is great for cutting

 half inches and inches up to 10”s!

It makes cutting a breeze!

Cutting instructions in the book is for a full quilt not just one block!

For one block you are going to take those (8) blocks and cut: 

A - 1

B - 1

C -1

From your background fabric:

D - 8

F - 8

Then proceed to put them together as described in the book! 

They chain piece easily together!

The block is easy to do and looks beautiful when done!

See you next Week when we sew Homecoming!
