How to Make a Sticks and Stones Quilt - Free Quilting Tutorial

[@carolmarshall4341]

I found you by accident several yrs ago. I never sewed before. Since meeting you on line, I bought a sewing machine, tons of fabric, most all your templates, watch all your videos, and now have hours of fun creating my own patterns and copying yours…an entire new hobby. In short, THANK YOU. I just wanted you to know, you changed my life.

[@janicewebber5584]

Me too! My hobby was/is still beaded jewelry & I was searching charms for bracelets & found Jenny sewing charm squares! Now I have two hobbies!😊❤

[@claireturcheck7316]

Jenny is the reason I started quilting. That was about 15 years ago.

[@margaretbunnell3510]

Natalie has just blossomed. She is delightful.

[@marytanner9431]

I love this pattern. And I just want to tell Natalie that she is looking great.

[@rethamoore4282]

Lol , it is complicated to me because i have a hard time seeing but , i will watch Jenny and Natalie a few more times and then i'll make one for myself. It is sooo beautiful! Thank you sweet ladies !😊❤❤❤

[@rethamoore4282]

I love the way you done the border as it only makes it more beautiful!❤❤❤

[@amycleal8530]

I love Natalie ❤️ when she helps!!!

[@deboverstreet8487]

Always enjoy when Natalie is there to help you.

[@rechelleivy9350]

I love how Jenny and Natalie teach step by step because some of us are beginners and we need to be told those little things…everything isn’t so obvious to some. Thank you!❤

[@debrat777]

I love that Natalie is joining in on the videos. It’s sweet to see how you work together. ❤

[@leemiller2811]

I do too. Natalie is awesome. ❤

[@susangray6470]

This is the pattern I used to make my husband's quilt of valor. I made the piano key boarder as well as the Vietnam insignia at the top. He loved it. It was done in patriotic fabric of course.

[@susanmiller3170]

I have been wanting to make my brother a quilt of valor and just could not settle on a quilt pattern. I think you have just made up my mind for me!

[@lesa6399]

Please tell your husband Welcome Home 🇺🇸

[@vivisargent8349]

Did you post a pic? If not, could you please...maybe do one for my brother who served in Vietnam. Thank you and tell you husband Than you for his service!

[@sheliaheverin8822]

A great project to use up all those spare jelly roll strips, making it scrappy.

[@deliaramirez6044]

I’ve made this pattern. Twice. Thank you Jenny.

[@marleneclausen30]

I made Sticks and Stones for my best friend’s husband in batiks in his favorite team color, Dodger blue. He was critically I’ll and passed six months later. She said he wrapped himself in it every day. It is not only a very attractive quilt, it is super easy to make. Thanks for a great pattern.

[@JesusisKing222]

I LOVE these “favorite 15” quilt tutorials! What a great idea! Thank you!

[@sherrygunst3254]

What are the favorite 15 quilts?

[@JudyDouce]

​@@sherrygunst3254😊

[@alkurashi]

Hi friends from Saudi Arabia.so beautiful as usual.thank you Jenny .

[@dianr4210]

I love when a quilt looks really complicated, but is actually simple to do! This is right up my alley! I'm going to be searching for the perfect Jelly Roll to use!

[@petmomful2260]

Yes, exactly. It looks complicated, but when Jenny and Natalie break it down, it is totally doable!!

[@karenhalse9586]

I think it would look good scrappy too

[@juliatepe5760]

I agree! I have some leftover 1 and a half inch strips . It won't be enough for a quilt, but maybe a table topper! My mom and I sewed together often, and sometimes, some unsewing too😅

[@anncantlin9710]

I just love Natalie she is the sweetest gal and I know she is very knowledgeable about quilting. I enjoy everything she does. She got me back into my embroidery.thanks Nat.

[@maryhutto]

This really is much easier than it looks. It's on my " to-do" list for 2024. Thank you, ladies for your easy to follow tutorial. 😊

[@09mclemens]

This pattern is so in my wheelhouse. The piano key border is perfect with it!

[@mariekairys3214]

I think this is on my to do list now! Would you consider making a "Favorite 15" play list?

[@rebeccafoster-faith6647]

I cut a lot of.my scraps into 2.5 inch strips. Looks like a great way to use them up.

[@ruthhilsdorf3210]

Was just thinking something similar. I have a small mountain of 30s print scraps (my favorite) & was thinking this would be a perfect way to use up a lot of them. Stash buster!

[@katrinahough290]

I really appreciate this quilt. It's the first pattern I made for myself after my husband passed. I made it in blues and it's so calm and comforting. I love seeing it on the bed!

[@kathysews524]

I think I would use black for the 21/2 squares, and a batik jelly roll

[@jeanetteharris373]

I made Sticks & Stones for a gift a few years back using batiks, and it came out beautiful. I like seeing it with a different style of jelly roll!

[@nummielewis4325]

I LOVE WATCHING YOU LADIES. I HAVE MADE SEVERAL OF YOUR QUILTS. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL THE BEAUTIFUL QUILTS YOU HAVE SHARED.

[@wingif1976]

It is a lot of math, but you did all the work for us Jenny and Natalie. Thank you for showing us how to make this beautiful quilt so easily. 💕

[@feliciaweatherspoon2303]

That's a beautiful quilt!! Thank you Jenny and Natalie, for the demonstration !! ❤❤

[@BEVERLYRANDOLPH-lx4qu]

This IS a favorite! I made a gorgeous Christmas quilt in this pattern in 2017 and this Christmas I’m making an indigo and white version for my son. I’m stitching the binding and it is just breathtaking. I love it. I’m giving it to him anyway! ❤ What’s great about this pattern is that it resembles traditional patterns: log cabin, fence rail, Irish chain-but it looks like all these patterns but with a “twist.” This quilt feels like a lot of cutting but it’s much simpler than the fabulous end product appears! LOVE Sticks and Stones!

[@suepeschke2256]

I really enjoy when you redo a pattern you have done earlier and use a totally different fabric. Makes a totally different look to the quilt. Helps me visualize different fabric combinations. Thank you

[@barbarajohnson1572]

I sew LOVE how Natalie is the "calm" and Jenny pumps us up to get movin' and put those creative juices to good use !.... I know this because I am the "Jenny" ,,, my Debby is my "Natalie"... God is good to us Mom's!

[@eelliott9581]

Love this quilt. It's on my to-do list for 2024 also! Thank you, Jenny and Natalie. Looking forward to another Triple Play book! 😉❤️

[@nancyweeks9840]

I am so excited with the fabric I am going to use for this-with black! I got TWO jellyrolls to make it larger!

[@JeanneOlson-vv9tl]

Even a simple, sweet pattern, in a beautiful fabric, makes me want to get out of bed to piece. A new video by Jenny and Natalie exited me every time! Happy sewing!

[@suewelliver6275]

You''ve made this look so easy, I'm putting it on my 'to do' list!

[@Auntie7024]

Love this block Jenny and Natalie! The fabric collection is so beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing this video. ❤❤😊

[@anneericsson8755]

I made this for a friend 😊 I absolutely love it. I think it’s my favorite one this year. I wish I could share it with you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 it’s gonna be hard to give it up. Thank you Jenny

[@carolinecarpenter]

Love it when you both work together on a tutorial. Thank you for sharing your knowledge so freely with us. Merry Christmas to all at Missouri Star.

[@suziehemmer6116]

I love to see two of you together working on a project. I think it is so nice. I love triple play. too. Being alone works. But to be able to talk to the camera another human makes it special.

[@anneericsson8755]

I just made this 👏🏻👏🏻 it’s adorable. It’s so easy and quick to make. Now to get it quilted. Thanks Jenny & Natalie

[@eniceburke5110]

You are so fun to watch! I have just been watching the binding video. Laughed so much and learned so much. 🥰🥰🥰

[@jeanielipskey1272]

Love this, for sure will make this in 2024! Thanks Ladies!

[@momof2641]

This looks like a pretty easy pattern for a beginner like myself, maybe I’ll give it a go on a smaller scale to begin with. Thank you so much for sharing all your tips and patterns with us. ❤️🙏

[@paulaneary7877]

This is absolutely fantastic. Really beautiful but simple enough for a beginner.

[@pugmama3338]

This is the very first quilt I started. I got everything cut out & several blocks sewed together, then it sat for 8 years. It's now finished & beautiful. I used an assortment of blue batiks & a rust color for my accent. Thank you Jenny & Natalie for your vids.

[@sueduquemin7119]

Love this quilt so I am going to make it. Thanks Jenny and Natalie for showing us the quilt.

[@Scrappyendings]

I really like the idea of sewing "half" blocks as you can really mix those fabrics up!

[@kathyborger1498]

You two are just so adorable together. Love this!

[@WendyBonds-o9x]

Very pretty quilt, you ladies have such a great talent for quilting!

[@cynthialodermeier5291]

Merry Christmas!

[@nummielewis4325]

I love watching all of your tutorials. I have made several of your quilts! Thank you so much. ❤

[@247LOW]

Like some others mentioned, this was a great scrap buster for me. I just got it pieced and it turned out nice. Thanks for the pattern and tutorial.

[@francesnesbitt8825]

Very nice remake of an older pattern. Love the colors for this time of year!

[@donnarowe6027]

I love this way quilt. But I especially love your camaraderie.

[@AuntGrace]

Beautiful. 💕 Thank you all for your hard work this year 🎉🎉🎉

[@jennystrahley927]

Jenny and Natalie, you make a great team. I have really enjoyed the Favorite 15 quilt pattern remakes this year. They have been a good reminder of your past patterns. It's easy to forget the oldies as we're seeing new patterns come out. I'm excited to see that I already have the Sticks and Stones pattern in my 2015 MSQ Block Magazine, Vol 2, Issue 4. The quilt in the magazine is made with beautiful Kansas Troubles fabrics. It's going on my list of quilts to make in 2024!

[@sandracedar368]

Oh my! So fun, easy, AND lovely! Thank you Jenny, Natalie, & ALL at MSQC! Merry Christmas🫶🎄🫶🌴🫶

[@cherylbrown4058]

I have so enjoyed your favorite 15 series. It’s great to go back and revisit some of these classics thank you.

[@BrokenArrowPottery]

Love the strip patterns! Jenny, you and Natalie make a great team! Two beautiful ladies! Thanks for the instruction; I think I can do this one. Cheers!

[@hankandmaggieroberts7177]

There is an older tutuorial Jenny did and I really wish I had seen it first. In it, she emphasizes how important it is to maintain an exact 1/4" seam allowance. She says you cannot fudge it like you can other patterns. This is so true, THIS IS NOT FOR BEGINNERS. If you do not have an even 1/4 seam, the cascading blocks will not match up when you put the blocks together. Ask me how I know. I have a wonky quilt top, but I'm not ripping the whole thing. So frustrating. And yes, I've done all the methods to get 1/4 seam allowance.

[@susangage9140]

This is great! I think it screams to be a grandsons quilt

[@memccauley66]

I love this! Perfect for the jelly roll I got at the Wisconsin quilt show

[@sharonross6039]

Love it . On list for 2024.

[@arrowcreeksewing]

I have made at least 5 Sticks and Stones quilts! I just love the pattern! I have done various construction methods along the way, and have added the same fabrics as a sashing with white corner stones and love that effect as well. Fun, quick, easy, and a favorite to all I give them to.

[@dianehuntley2493]

This pattern can be varied with color to get a different look every time! Love it😊

[@dawnmason9558]

Wow you are both looking amazing. I love that you have both lost so much eight. I had a bariatric sleeve 5 yrs ago & lost 7 stone. Love this tutorial. I can piece but not quilt due to my back problems. I love you tutorials. How many of your children are left handed ?

[@tonyaporter7072]

I just love the quilt patterns you come up with! I want to make all of them! I am into the star patterns lately. I think they are so pretty!! Hope you all have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

[@louisedaoust9502]

Love this pattern, I have a few Jelly-Rolls just waiting to become quilts. Thank you for bringing back these patterns. Purchased the digital and tomorrow I am making this quilt.

[@annadobie8383]

I just love you Jenny. You make Fridays wonderful with your quick sewing quilts and humor! Have a wonderful christmas

[@ellythompson4055]

Like it so much! You two are so lovely. Natalie just glows. This year if I get back down to Missouri, I am stopping in at Hamilton. Last Sept. I was in Kansas on base to see my niece and events up here in Wisconsin forced me to deter from Hamilton. I want to see Missouri Star. Merry Christmas. Adore you ladies.

[@mariependley7845]

Love this pattern! I think it would make a beautiful Christmas quilt in reds and greens prints and the white 2.5 quarters. Great job as always. Love you all!

[@lindalee601]

I love this pattern!!! It seems so easy. ❤

[@koalasez1200]

Hmmm, feels like this would also be a great “scrap” buster as long as the little end squares are a consistent color. Time for some sorting and cutting since I don’t have a jelly roll on hand. Thank you and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

[@janesturm]

Merry Christmas to your family. Enjoy watching this tutorial, maybe a pattern I can accomplish.

[@fireflydreams1791]

This fabric line is just so beautiful. Quilt looks great. Thank you for sharing.

[@MurielStonewall03to54]

I LOVE your channel - just made this quilt in a throw size (3 x 4 12" blocks and added sashing and the piano border) - so fun! I can't wait to start the quilting!. Thankyou so much for the free patterns and inspiration. I am a newbie at quilting and you provide so many words of wisdom and great ideas.

[@kathystayer7067]

This tutorial is much easier to follow than the instructions in your Block magazine.

[@Mach.R]

Natalie is my favorite presenter. ♥️

[@jenjoy4353]

An ideal pattern for using up scraps

[@pilarmcenulty9054]

I just finished Brightly and will try this one next. Thank you so much for these videos.

[@paulfrels3590]

Love the look of quilt and the colors are cool also

[@wilycat5290]

Lovely quilt with many color placement possibilities. Thanks for the video 😊🎄

[@pamelao6762]

You ladies are stunning, happy holidays!

[@helenpeddycord2241]

TY Jenny! Merriest Christmas to you, your family and MS staff♥️🎄🙏🏻🧵

[@edithstrocen5073]

I didn't love the fabric but I love the pattern. This one is definitely on my to do list. Thank you.

[@traceyhonig4461]

I finally got around to watching this video. I just love watching you two work together! This is the perfect size quilt that I love to do... and yes, it is going in my arsenal!! I love y'all... Merry Christmas and I hope you get some stitching time in for me!! 🎄🪡

[@margm4]

That’s beautiful…so clever. Thanks Jenny for sharing. 🇦🇺❤️

[@roseannecarratkinson4271]

Definitely on my list to make, such a pretty quilt.

[@katherinekubach5738]

This is one of my favorite quilts I have made when you first did the tutorial! I definitely plan to make it again.

[@lindasuerussell4398]

Love, love, love this pattern, look for it from me next year in your long-arm department. I've got some light colored jelly rolls that would look great in this pattern. Thanks

[@Ellen-misty.meadows.]

I love this pattern! I think this will be my first quilt of the new year. Thank you for all the measurements! Merry Christmas to the whole Missouri Star family!

[@jeanniepatrick5533]

I love this one and have some ideas for jelly rolls I have on hand. You should put together the favorite 15 collection book!

[@kennethstensrud669]

I did a small quilt just like this, it was for my grandson and loved it. Anyway, I would like to wish you and your family and all at Missouri Star Quilt a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Greetings from Kenneth in Norway.

[@peggyreinhold886]

Good morning, another great, easy and fast pattern, thank you for all your wonderful ideas the whole year long. Friday without you would be not the same 😉 I wish you, your whole family, friends and stuff from MSQC a wonderful happy and bright Christmas, all good wishes for the New Year, too. Many greetings from Germany ❤🥰🙋‍♀️🎅🎅🎅🎉🎊🥳

[@cindyhappel7376]

I’m going to have to make this quilt! Love it! Jenny let Natalie get some sleep I caught that almost yawn, lol!

[@JeanneOlson-vv9tl]

I wonder if one charm pack would be enough to have a full border? It would be worth doing the math, to check the feasibility. I have this line and it is, indeed, exquisite. I got the layer cake and border and will use pattern ‘Good Fortune.’ I love the pattern and have a few in mind. Happy sewing!

[@joycheek6756]

Merry Christmas Jenny and Natalie 🎄

[@susanalopez3277]

Love U ladies, Thank U so much

[@Bmon-js2lk]

💕Definitely making two to use up those jelly rolls. 🌸

[@LaVonne23]

Thank you so much. I made this quilt and it was so easy with your instructions. 😊❤

[@jocelyncash9548]

I have made two of these and i just love this pattern

[@jwestfalldavis3574]

Natalie, you especially look so beautiful and content in this episode. Many blessings to you both.
