Hey there Sassy’s!

Fat Quarter Shop is sharing a fun and FREE PATTERN today as part of a quilt along!

Fat Quarter Shop

Layer Cake Pop

Get Quilt Kit HERE

They did their quilt kit in Spectrum by V and Co.

Such a fun fabric line!

Here is my version of this quilt….

I just love these little stars that this pattern makes! Cute.

I used a Cotton and Steel layer cake and made my own jelly roll out of a cream dot background fabric. The cream color worked really well with this line.

It was a fun pattern and a great way to use up some of those layer cakes we have piling up!!!!

Wanna see all the different versions of this quilt?….. and a chance to win the Fat Quarter Shop GIVEAWAY?

No Bake Jolly Bar Quilt – Easy and Free Pattern!

No Bake Jolly Bar Blog Hop!

jollybar1

Hey there guys! Today I am a stop on the No Bake Jolly Bar Blog Hop hosted by Fat Quarter Shop.

Fat Quarter Shop has a fun, fast and fabulous FREE quilt pattern to share with you…

They call it the No Bake Jolly Bar….

Here is the FREE PATTERN!

For my quilt I used a white layer cake and two jolly bars in “the Boat house” by Sweetwater for MODA fabrics.

In case you don’t know what a jolly bar is…..it is basically a layer cake cut in half, 5″ x 10″ rectangles. Super fun and easy for making a quilt.

Let me tell you…. this quilt came together lickety-split! One day I made all the blocks and the next I put them all together. This is a nice size quilt too… It finishes at 63.5″ x 81.5″, so it will make a nice size quilt to use as a gift for Christmas. Can’t wait to get it quilted up!

2000 and Sassy…

As we turn the page I realize that 2013 has been amazing and definitely Sassy!

On April 1st, I dove head-first into blogland and published my first post here at The Sassy Quilter. I began by paying homage to my Grandmother and teacher(her nickname was “Sassy”, the original) and my very first quilt that I finished with her six years ago. You can read all about it here in My Quilt Story.

Every day since has been packed full of quilty goodness and I am loving every minute of it! My quilty universe is ever expanding with new things to learn, quilts to make, friends to meet, fabric to buy(of course) and the inspiration from my fellow bloggers is never ending.

Here is a 2013 Sassy review:

My top posts were…

1 Sunday Funday Sunshine- this one was a giveaway and Sunshine quilt finish.
2 How to make your own Design Wall- for $25 or less!
3 Hexagon Pillow- my short-lived dabble in English Paper Piecing
4 Snowman Ornaments- quick holiday oraments.
5 New Blogger Blog Hop -This post tells you all the nitty gritty about me!

My top 5 visitors were….

1 Susan @ The Bored Zombie

2 Kelly @ My Quilt Infatuation

3 Jennifer Creech

4 Lorna McMahon @ SewFreshQuilts

5 Sarah @ Sarah Quilts

A special thanks to these guys for taking the time to visit and sharing your thoughts with me so often! I love getting to know all my sassy quilt friends and it means the world<3

To all my other subscribers, followers, comment leavers and just plain ol’ visitors…Thank You, Thank You, Thank You! xo,xo
