Jenny, I see the date on this video: it was made 10 years ago. Well dear, there are a lot of new quilters still learning from you; I am one of them. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world ❤

Hi, I am from Costa Rica, I am 52 years old and started last year making quilts, I started with one of my parents life, with photographs and turned out to be a hit... hahahah I love your tutorials, they have helped me tons since I had never touched a sewing machine before, Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!! I wish I lived there to go to class with you hahahaha.

[@zeldafitzg1]

I just had eye surgery, but when I recover I have about three Jenny Doan tutorials to follow for new quilts! Loved this tutorial, as always!

[@kathiemo1395]

Thanks for your quilting tutorials. I have taught myself at age 59 how to quilt with them, yours are always the best. Quilting is something I have always wanted to do. I made my first quilt using this chevron pattern for my first grand child and liked the triangle work so much I designed my own design for my second quilt that is almost complete. Thanks Jenny!

[@maws8810]

Most brilliant way ive ever seen to make the squares. I'm totally doing it that way next time. Ty for showing us the trick ❤

[@endlessdznsbycarrie8356]

I have been sewing for years, but am new to quilting and have been fascinated by the tutorials you've produced! I am finishing up a disappearing nine block quilt. After watching this tutorial, I've just decided that a chevron quilt will be my next quilt! Thanks for all the Tutorials!

[@sewer1945]

OMGoodness that Chevron quilt is great. I love those half square triangles. They can be used in so many patterns. You have changed my life with your tutorials Jenny. It has given me so much inspiration to make quilts for my family before I die. LOL. Certainly it is on my "bucket list" to make my family members a quilt and these easy patterns will make it happen.

[@1941roberta]

Jenny you have become my "go to" spot to learn easy ways to do blocks. I love this one and all that you share with us.

[@debco12]

Can not tell you how much I enjoy and appreciate your tutorials! You guys are the best! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@kimmaynard338]

This Chevron Quilt is the best of them all ... because of this quilt on a magazine in the fabric store ... I found Jenny and MSQC ....and the love of quilting again ... thank you so much .... now I have to say I messed up ... and ended up with a little quilt but it is still pretty .. and I hand stitched myself. So Thanks you.

[@winston3518]

Great look with a fast and easy technique. Thanks Jenny.

[@erikahathaway5119]

I LOVE how easy and cute this was! I used a "Because of the Brave" layer cake and a beige layer cake and made two of these for donations to wounded soldiers at Walter Reed. 😊

[@LauraBellini]

Thank you so much, I never would have thought of using a layer cake. This is fast and easy, love it!

[@annjohnson9329]

Love using half square triangles. Actually, there are a lot of Jenny's tutorials I like and have made.

[@alexandrasmith5964]

Hi Jenny, thank you, thank you, thank you. My wonderful layer cake that I have been saving will be put to good use now I have been waiting for a tutorial like this. Wonderful I love your tutorials they are so easy to follow thank you

[@winniesfriend16]

Thank you Jenny, now I know what to do with the Harmony layer cake I bought I think it would look great in a Chevron quilt. love your tutorials.

[@SmittenKitten.]

[@bonnieboschert5226]

Jenny you've done it again. It's such a quick and easy pattern. I love it!

[@Jannm]

AWESOME tutorial Jenny. I really wasn't a big fan of Chevron's until I saw this. It'll be my next quilt now!!

[@Stampinggrandma]

Will be making this quilt as soon as I can get the fabric. I love the tutorials as they explain everything so clearly. Thanks I will be watching all of them.

[@patriciawilliams3924]

I have been wanting to make a chevron quilt. I have crocheted and knitted afghans. Time to move on !!

[@gracylibob]

Brilliant way to make HSTs!! I have oodles of quilts to make for grandkids, and the chevron pattern is going to be a dream to make for them. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@Dropsofstrawberry]

I wish i could quilt. Quilts are so beautiful, its art!!!

[@endlessdznsbycarrie8356]

This Chevron Quilt is my favorite quilt! It went together so fast and I loved just using the layer cake squares in the order they were stacked in the kit. Thank you!

[@jhilewsky]

How very cool and easy, Jenny. Even I, as a new quilter, feel I can handle this one!

[@FRANZU1940]

Many thanks for this new quilt Chevron, I love it very much. Now with my fabric I sew a new quilt.

Thanks, Jenny. Great video!!! Love the quilt

[@victoriacooper5962]

I love your tutorials. I have made 4 different quilt tops since March. Super ingenious technique's. You make them so easy. I wish fabric shops would sell more 10 inch squares or would precut any pre-paid fabric choices into the 10 inch squares. I am still buying too much fabric.

[@maryking6356]

Love the tutorial! Just received my fabric in the mail from you today so I can start my chevron quilt! I love all your tutorials, you share great ideas and they are easy enough for a beginner like me to follow. I would love to visit your shop one day! Thanks for all you do! You are truly the best of the best!!

[@halfblackgt46]

Thank you for this! I've been trying to make a chevron pattern stocking for a week and this is so much easier than what I have been trying!

[@flyinggeese50]

Hermoso! Gracias por compartir!

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

The fabric line for the blue quilt, is called "Sea Scapes", and the fabric for the orange/yellow quilt, is called "Half Moon Modern". Both so pretty!!!!

[@adaclemons5305]

I'm taking my layer cakes to Quilt Retreat in October at Apples B&B Big Bear Lake Ca. Sure to be a lot of fun.

[@JamiSwanBeauty]

Beautiful quilt idea thanks!!!

[@mjesusruiz3375]

Me gusta los videos que explica Jenny son fabulosos y muy bonitos, saludos desde España

[@jostovall5491]

Great tutorial . . . Thank you, Jo

[@Mommycrochets]

I really need to stop watching your tutorials. They make me want to make stuff...and that makes my husband and our checkbook cry. :-P Honestly though, you make great videos and I really appreciate them!

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Hi Rahjs Girl, have you already finished piecing the top? It depends on how wide you want your border to be. To figure out how much you'll need, you'll need to measure your quilt top, find the perimeter and divide that by the width of fabric. That number will then be multiplied by how wide you want your border to be. I always add an extra quarter to half yard on top of that as well, just to be same so you have some wiggle room for mess ups! :) I hope this helps!!

[@maxwellstudio19]

Robert Kauffman also has a quilting calculator. I use it on my iPad and as long as your quilt measurements are correct it works like a charm for borders, binding, backing, etc!!!

[@joygross]

Thank you... I love it!

[@cakedesigner]

Yeah Jenny, I've been waiting for you to post a chevron quilt ! Love it thanks :)

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

The easiest one I can think of is our "How to make a baby quilt" video, if you search for it on youtube, it will pop right up. It's in 4 parts and will show you everything you need! Let me know how it goes!

[@nicefuzato7561]

Maravilhoso! Parabéns!

[@endlessdznsbycarrie8356]

I finally finished my chevron quilt! I will send pics via FB or to your website! Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!

[@danitg5]

Love this tutorial! Wish it was on the app

[@ramonitagarcia9428]

Gracias por esa manera sencilla pero preciosa.

[@betsycycyk5858]

This was the first "Jenny" quilt I made. The tutorial was easy to follow and it turned out great. However I did find that I am a little "direction challenged" when placing the blocks out to make the chevron!

[@charlottebarnes6761]

You have shown the very simple way because I have watched so many please show how you see together thank you going to make queen size which I need measurements Thank You

[@guarnerlo]

gracias muy facial y bello felicidades

[@marietteforget7804]

Thanks a lot! 🌸🌺

[@diandrigan270]

Jenny would you do a video on squaring blocks. It would be so helpful to a lot of us. love your video's

[@sarahforsythe9452]

Oh crikey! Yet another one to add to my "to do" list! Sleep? Who needs it? Thank you again Jenny! Sarah. PS: Could you do that going around in a square raditating out from the centre?

[@mariaelenaramirez5600]

AWESOME!!!!! TXS

[@user-bj7yy4ef8d]

Only starting being interested in a pechvorok, I got on your site and fell in love with this kind of activity. I receive the greatest pleasure and to much I study at you. Thank you very much! greetings from Moscow! Elena.

[@sunflower2213]

Thanks again for a great video!!! You always make it look so easy to do I love your tutorials! Your the reason I was able to start making quilts! I have made 5 so far cant wait to try this one! I have 25 10" squares right now about how big a quilt do you think that would make??? Thanks again!!!!!!!

[@EmilyKatelynFordyce]

I love this quilt. I want to do this using yardage. How many yards of each color would I need to make a King size quilt?

[@5355capricornio]

Thanks from Perú

[@sewtuffinc]

Why is it that no one ever tells us what size the quilt ends up being? Is this an unknown quilters rule? I mean it's beautiful but I want to put it on my bed and wallow in it all night.LOL This is my first time time even hearing about layer cake quilts ! Awsome !!!

[@Sasslette]

The picture says 72' wide by 86' long then add borders, which will be a Queen size quilt... I have made this in various sizes which is just a case of how many blocks you want. I didn't use layer cakes I cut from fabric so it's always good to have an idea what you would like the centre size to be when buying fabric. Baby Quilt 36" x 54" Afghan/Lap Size 54" x 72" Twin Quilt 54" x 90" Double Quilt 72" x 90" Queen Quilt 90" x 108" King Quilt 108" x 108"

[@June31946]

Sasslette Thank You. I agree we beginners NEED to know how many blocks of the quilts shown are for Twin,Double, Queen King as Well as the Cal sizes for length. Awesome quilt!

[@golisland]

I like when you give the size of a quilt and the size bed it will fit.

[@Basketball2334kobe]

how many yards for backing, she did not say

[@FirebladeCBR]

Did you square up the hst before laying out the blocks? If you did, what did you square them to? Can't wait to try this one. Thanks

[@kellytriller5852]

Love Jenny! Such a sweet demeanor! Curious as to the finished size of these squares.... Im guessing 9 1/2 inches?
