The Jolie quilt pattern includes 6 sizes so you can make the table runner, table toppers, and wall hangings in the size that will fit your space perfectly!
This pattern is charm square friendly. You can cut squares from layer cakes, fat quarters, or your scrap bins for a scrappy quilt uniquely yours.
The Jolie quilt pattern is available in the Busy Hands Quilts shop here.
The Mister and I took the Jolie quilts to Ariel Foundation in Mount Vernon, Ohio, a park where a glass factory previously stood. It's now a 200+ acre park. It was a beautiful, crisp fall day! There are lots of brick walls to hang quilts from.
Introducing Jolie!
Jolie is a modern charm square friendly design with a light and dark accent which includes the binding. The design includes a bold accent that frames the quilt. The pattern is perfect for beginners who are looking for a quick mini project to help them gain more experience under their needle.
The Perfect Size of Runners, Toppers, and Wall Hangings
The Jolie quilt pattern includes 6 sizes so you can make the table runner, table toppers, and wall hangings in the size that will fit your space perfectly! No more tiny table runners swallowed up on your large table - the Large runner is a whopping 23" x 62". Or maybe you have the opposite problem, and table runner patterns are too large for your small table. Jolie has you covered with a Small Runner measuring 17" x 34" and a Small Square measuring 23" x 23".
To make fabric selection easy and to ultimately reduce fabric waste, the Binding is included with the Dark Accent fabric.

Patriotic Fabrics!
For this bold and lively quilt, I used the Star Spangled Beauty fabric collection by Kimberbell Design for Maywood, creating the perfect summer quilt. It's a sweet mix of dark blues, reds, and medium blues and pinks on a creamy cloud background.
Did you see that backing fabric? I love it! It's a preprinted fabric of quilt blocks made in the Star Spangled Beauty prints. We've got it in the shop!
We have Star Spangled Beauty fabrics in stock right here.
A note about fabric placement
For this quilt pattern, I recommend laying out all of the pieces before sewing to make sure you like the way the prints play next to each other. In order to achieve good pop of the accent fabric against the other prints, fabric placement is important. The lighter prints are best along the outer edge of the quilt because they will touch the dark accent fabric. If the light accent contrasts well with all of the prints, even the light ones, then it doesn't matter so much which prints are placed next to the light accent.
For the runner quilt featured, the navy prints were placed in the center of the quilt, so they don't touch the navy accent fabric at all. Then remaining prints were filled in mostly randomly, but the red prints in the center are echoed on both ends of the quilt center.
