A little about Fat Quarter Shop
The Fat Quarter Shop was founded in 2003 by Kimberly Jolly. An avid
quilter, Kimberly began her shop as a side business while still working a
corporate position, cutting, packing and shipping right out of her
house during evenings and weekends. From the very beginning, she was
committed to delivering top-notch service for every single order and
customer. As the Fat Quarter Shop's reputation grew, Kimberly decided to
make it a full-time operation. Her husband Kevin joined her not long
after, and with his help, lots of hard work, and a tireless commitment,
the store began to grow. Over the past few years a few more people have
joined the staff!
As a team, they continue to branch out with the best fabrics, exclusive
kits, quilt clubs, BOMs, and more. And they will always be driven by the
passion that Kimberly founded the store upon, which is always giving you
the best products and service!
Fat Quarter Shop has a new FREE quilt tutorial!! The Jelly Jam Quilt Pattern Tutorial by Fat Quarter Shop has just recently been released. I was so excited when I was given the opportunity to do a review on this tutorial.
For this quilt you don't need a lot of fabric. I really love quilts that don't take a lot of fabric and are also a quick project. The Jelly Roll Jam Quilt simply uses a single jelly roll. No extra fabric is needed for the piecing of this quilt top. The only other fabric needed for this quilt is the back and binding. I really like the concept of being able to use a jelly roll to make an entire quilt top. I especially love this concept when I am making a quilt as a gift because that is a huge money and time saver. This quilt pattern uses just less than 1/2 a jelly roll so you could make 2 quilt tops out of just one jelly roll. This quilt finished is a baby size quilt approx 36"X36". Jelly Roll Jam would make a perfect quilt to make as a baby gift for a baby shower, relative, or even your own child. Jelly Rolls come in many different color varieties and there is something to fit any personality. Fat Quarter Shop has the best selection of jelly rolls I have seen!
For this quilt pattern I chose to use a Road 15 jelly roll by Sweetwater for Moda. It looks very different from the varieties that they used in the tutorial. It shows that just by choosing a different color variety you can have a completely different look to your quilt. It is more subtle than many of the varieties of very bright colors.
I think this is a GREAT tutorial!! The video tutorial was done very well. In this video tutorial the quilt steps are explained very clearly. I really like that it is so clear because you can understand everything after only watching it once compared to some others I have seen that you have to keep watching it over and over to be able to understand. This quilt is an easy quilt, and would be great for a beginner or even just a quick quilt for anyone who is more advanced. This quilt only took me a couple of hours to make, so it is really a quick quilt to whip up.
Fat Quarter Shop has many great products. You can find fabric to fit any personality. The selection offered at Fat Quarter Shop is phenomenal. Check out Fat Quater Shop today and find something for your next project!!

Easy quilts...that's my speed! I love the idea of doing more quilting, but my time is extremely limited and my motivation is as well. :-) I have never used a jelly roll before but it would be fun to try out.
