Jennie...I have watched you teach us all...for so many years...you have such a gentle soul...you reach into your heart to share your joy with us...in the simple to understand ways...thank you for giving us inspiration and joy!!

I couldn’t agree more! Jenny is a treasure.

@@joanniekuhn6705 it gets like that at this time of the year, It’s hot here in Ohio too but cooler at night, where are you at?

[@shellyboyle9407]

Red on red 🤣! My Mom and I were talking about so many of the videos are for advanced quilters. But this awesome video takes it back to the beginning! Yay!!!! Thanks so much for helping the newbies!!!!

[@karenmaddox1212]

😂how many times have I done that!

[@joshuaharper372]

It's a good reminder that although we might plan the block carefully, things get turned around between the layout and the sewing machine, but it still looked good, even with the "mistake."

[@bitspiecesquilting]

A great reminder that sometimes the very simple designs are incredibly beautiful! Thanks Jenny.

[@annfleisher3575]

Even seasoned quilters love an easy project now and then. Thank you for reminding us that simple is still stunning. ❤

[@rethamoore4282]

Jenny, you just made my day !! After crushing my shoulder a few years back I can only sew for a very short time before the pain takes me away from my favorite hobby. Looking at this quilt tutorial I may be able to make stars again !! I'm so happy after your sweet tutorial tonight !! Love you my precious friend ! Blessings to you Jenny.❤❤❤😊

[@ratchelmcmahon9175]

I have a back injury that took me away from sewing for a few years. I now have a pain psychologist that recommended that I set a 5 minute timer when I sit down to sew then take a break and lay down for 1/2 hour. I have put together 4 appliquéd quilt tops in the last 7 months starting off with 5 minutes and progressing slowly to 15 minutes. She proved to me that I could enjoy my hobby just in bite sized pieces 😊

[@shannabauer]

Boy can I understand this. Now that I am a Sr citizen all the fun I had previously has come back to haunt me in the form of pain. Age is wonderful LOL. I will try bits at a time, thanks for the tip.

[@rosemarytaylor6774]

@@shannabauer Sadly it doesn't get easier. I break things up I sew one day then press blocks with my new cordless iron. I bought a electric aquaquilt a few years ago and it is a lifesaver. I use bio freeze so much I should of invested in company.

[@davinatapie9314]

I just loved the expression on Jenny's face when she saw the red-on-red 😜 It turned out fine !

[@cynthiaburns5560]

Thank you for making this one! My daughter keeps reminding me that every quilt doesn't need to be complex. I would like to see more simple ones that don't require so much cutting. Thanks again for your whole crew doing a fabulous job!

[@GrandmaPatty49]

The videography has changed so much in the years I’ve been watching MSQC videos! Was always an avid viewer, but wow! So much more professional looking!

[@robertacaruthers7568]

While I am experienced as a quilter, I haven't had the time to sew in a very long while. You've just reminded me of the joy I had when I started, and this is the perfect one to start over again. Thank you for helping us to revisit our roots.

[@bethwillis3690]

I love watching you Jenny. It's great to see a fellow lefty teaching us wonderful blocks. Doesn't seem as confusing to me watching you. Thanks!

[@michaelbergstrom2721]

It was nice to see you doing something with a little more details and instructions for the beginners. Very pretty quilts. Thx Carolyn

[@debralucca7527]

Great quilt. I love Kansas Troubles fabrics. The colors are so warm and look great together. Thanks Jenny. ❤️

[@jenihansen7201]

Such a beautiful quilt project and just right for me. Thank you for thinking of us beginners.

[@NannaLiz]

Aaaahhh...the colors of fall, which I love. Autumn is near and I am glad. This would be a super throw quilt by just adding another row and another column. Thanks!

[@GlendaSue1964]

Like the new video format…showing you in the circle as you cut!

[@dbrandt515]

❤ Jennie, I so wish you had been teaching 43 years when I first started quilting.❤

[@partndn]

Kansas Troubles -my most favorite fabric of all time

[@patriciaguevara8793]

I think it’s wonderful you did something for beginners. Although I’ve been quilting for a while, it’s great when there’s such an easy pattern

[@gevenakeller5964]

I think it's great to do some beginner quilt tutorials because everyone like a quilt that is easy to make! I would like more tutorials that you don't have to do so much work to have a nice quilt like this one! Thank you!

[@christinabSF]

I'm 53 and never attempted a quilt before, and I'm so pleased to have found this channel. I'm a little familiar with sewing basics, but worry I'll get frustrated and give up before I finish. Does anyone have tips for how to plan and actually complete a full sewing project? I really want to try but there's so much to learn, and most folks I find have been doing it for YEARS, it all just feels a bit overwhelming to get started.

[@carolynmills513]

I guess I am an advanced beginner. I love stars! I have lots of Moda One Fine Day that I want to make a king sized quilt with. This is the perfect pattern.

[@vallang4832]

Missouri Star family are amazing. Love love love them.

[@elizabethrukminiishii7459]

This was such a joy to watch. Thanks Jenny. You make your tutorials look so easy 😊

[@patriciaallen3138]

You are wonderful Lady and teacher. Thank you for making people feel like they can accomplish anything. Thank you for reminding people that there is no quilting police. To many peolple give up because their project isn't perfect, to what others say. You give people permisson to be different, its okay if its not perfect.

[@barbgardner5549]

Love stars and love the colors. Reminds me of Kansas Trouble

[@geraldwhite3523]

I love that moment when you mumble. How did I do the red to the red. It makes me know I'm not alone when things like that happen to me! 😂 Love you Jenny ❤

[@suzievandeurs6290]

Thank you for being so kind and slowing down.

[@fly2las4fun]

Thank you for going back to the basics. I am still new, less than 3 years and it is good to be reminded of the beginning. Plus, I really like the new format with the picture in picture.

[@julierein645]

I love Kansas Troubles fabric ! I love this quilt.

[@amandamendoza4181]

Jenni I don’t know how many years I’ve been watching and ordering, but I do know you are the reason I started quilting. Although this one is “beginner” it is right up my alley! I’ll be making it for sure as a gift!❤

[@jennysanfilippo2105]

Thank you for caring so much about us all, beginner's - advanced, In every video I've seen you in, you simply know what to address from the viewers point of view. Whether it's a pin slanted, a nested seam, an ironing of a set seam- before flipping it over- to press the top seam, you always pay attention to details for us. You truly are a jewel, a gem of a person. I feel the love you give to us all. And that's the same, for how your Missouri Star Quilting Company has been serving your customers for years, too. ❤❤❤

[@suewelliver6275]

I really like how you simplified this for a beginner. It will make a great baby quilt for anyone to make, quick and easy pattern !

[@vickisparks5612]

Thanks Jennie what a beginner friendly quilt tutorial,I must try!!!

[@doxipups2]

This is such a great star pattern whether new to quilting or needing to whip something up quick. I love all your tips Jenny!!

[@bethkoch11]

Great simple quilt if you need to make one quickly for a gift. It will be pretty in almost any fabric.

[@SharonNickson]

A great pattern! I just don’t get tired of the basics.

[@traceyhonig4461]

Such a beautiful project. It’s so nice to see you slow down a little bit and get back to the basics! I LOVE the Kansas Troubles line, and stars 🌟 too! I also love how you are showing your face while you are sewing. I’m loving the new look! Happy quilting!! 🧵❤️ ⭐️

[@rethamoore4282]

Jenny , you truly are a God send as you are the only one that understands how my brain works. So many times you say things that describes how my brain works and sees things. I just truly admire you so much.❤😊

[@JodiePorep]

It's great to see you going back to the basics for beginner quilter. It's quite a confidence booster-unlike the many trial & errors that some of us faced when we began😮

[@cbarszc]

Thank you MSQC not having ads on the youtube channel so I don't lose my quilting thought in the middle of a how to. I appreciate that so much. Love the tutorials and especially Triple Play.

[@sherryfaires7931]

Thank you for your wonderful tutorial! Beginners sometimes think all they can sew are squares. This should give them a little option! Thank you for all your lessons! The baby quilt looks so different!

[@lynettesmith6539]

Thank you for such a wonderful video and for remembering all of us not so experienced quilters …. Great pattern

As always, the perfect fabric with the perfect pattern. Thank you for visiting me in my home every week. I live in hot, hot Texas and your sweater makes me sweat.😅

[@candacecarroll42]

This cute quilt is just perfect for those last minute projects! I’m working with beginners myself and they have been very reluctant to begin a (scary word) “quilt “! This is just the thing!! Big squares so the project is done quickly! Very rewarding because it’s easily adapted in size and time of year, etc. Thank you!!

[@robinr6399]

Great beginner quilt!

[@lindapucillo3493]

This quilt is perfect for beginners and experienced quilters. I’ve been wanting to make a patriotic quilt for a neighbor, and this one made larger will work. He served two tours in Vietnam and deserves recognition for his service. Thank you for this inspiration. As always, love your videos.

[@cindyvancleave200]

Wonderful video! I want to watch this with my young grand daughters who have taken a great interest in quilting! Thank you! You are an awesome teacher!

Some people love challenges others just like to piece. I love your videos and the way you explain things. I really love this quilt it looks so comforting.

This would be gorgeous in flannels

[@staciefreeman4396]

Hello Jenny from Portland Oregon. I have to say how fun and encouraging this tutorial is. You literally have taught me how to quilt from my earliest days using fat quarters. Between the "Block" magazine, you tube channel and Friday triple play, there's so much creativity and inspiration for all levels of quilters. Thank you for 15 wonderful years, I look forward to many more to come. Some day I will make the journey to Hamilton, it's on my bucket list!

[@Stitchingforthesewl]

Hi Jenny! Thank you for another quick and easy quilt. Great for teaching a new quilter. Love your friendly and gentle teaching ways. 😊

[@LanaJ304]

This is such a perfect tutorial for me this week. I have been watching your videos for years but just decided to take on teaching a group of kids a little about quilting and have been worried about finding a simple but cute pattern. I knew I’d find something from Jenny to help!

[@lynsouthafrica6308]

Jenny you are such a Gem. I have made so so so many of your quilts over the years. What would we do without you my dear!😂. I just wish it was cheaper to buy fabric and notions from you. Postage to South Africa is so expensive and in total chaos! I have given up! Just can't anymore😮. But we soldier on anyway! Sending best wishes to you and your lovely girls! Lyn Randell

[@alicelau9856]

I've been quilting about 4 years now and while I don't consider myself a beginner, beginner, I'm definitely not advanced. I learned to quilt from KZbin videos. I very much appreciate Jenny and MSQ more generally for creating content for EVERYONE regardless of skill level. I also like these videos designated as "beginner" because I know going in that it's something in my wheel house. Quilt blocks can be deceptive, especially because MSQ makes many more accessible. But I like knowing, this is a thing I can do fairly quickly and I'm going to be confident.

[@verastysova4229]

Dear Jenny, I have been watching your (and the girls) videos for many years and have learned a lot. Now I get a lot of pleasure from presenting smaller projects, after all, one can make more of them than big quilts. Thank you very much and I wish you many more great projects that you will give us to see. THANKS!!!

[@KathleenDempster]

Hi Jenny. You have just solved a problem I have been having for some time. Matching up the seams I didn't realise you put them on top of each other I thought it was side by side. Some turn out ok but I sometimes have problems with others. I am currently making a pinwheel king size quilt so this is a real help. Thanks to you, Natalie and Misty for your inspiration. I only sew by hand by the way

[@sweetibbies]

Jennie, your tutorials are so clear and fun. I have been sewing since 1st grade. I love following your videos

[@shannabauer]

Thank you for another wonderful tutorial. I absolutely love stars. Wonderful wall hanging.

I'm glad you said to take those pins out Jenny. I've had two quilts that I had to make a tiny cut to get a pin out that I'd accidentally left in. 🙄🤪 How I quilted over that without knowing I had pins still in the quilt I'll never know!

[@et1016]
