How to Make a Whirligig Star Quilt - Free Quilting Tutorial

[@kathyweverka7886]

I've been sewing for 70years & am very confident in my skills. However, occasionally I really enjoy watching others sew. Different methods etc can only help my skill grow. You and your girls are truly expert & I've picked up several tricks I'd not known before. Thanks!

[@stuckinstitches]

Great for ideas

[@lefayuttecht3858]

I have to tell you--I could watch tutorials all day long. To watch all of those wonderful quilts come together absolutely amazes me. Thank you!

[@traceyhonig4461]

I love how Natalie just slides in and then slides right back out!! 😂 You ladies are the perfect team; and both look fabulous. Such a beautiful quilt to kick off 2024! Happy New Year quilty friends!! 🧵❤️🎉

Fun quilt! I make what I call "booger" quilts for a great nephew ... the kind they drag around with them, take to preschool, play on, etc. ... this will make a GREAT "baby" quilt for him and I plan to make a few for him using juvenile "eye spy" type fabrics.

[@mariarogers3760]

2:59 Good tip for identifying the right side of the white on white fabric.

[@lizreynolds4554]

Jenny, oh I just love THIS. YOU and Natalie are a great team. Great job teaching the little tricks that make us all more confident and successful. Bless you and yours. Thank you for sharing this with us. 😊🙏💖🍀🎉🪡🧵✂️🦓Liz

The painterly fabrics are gorgeous. I have used them to make a kaleidoscope quilt with dark star points. It is stunning.

[@denisestilling2810]

Love this pattern…so cool. I love star blocks and swirly whirligigs and/or pinwheels. It’s as if you designed it just for me. Great colour choices.

[@jewellscustomquilting938]

I just love the Bloc-Loc! It makes the construction of my quilt squares go together with ease and just match up without me fighting my points to match up❣️❣️

[@shellyreagan9790]

I love the tip around draping the white fabric over something dark to see which is the right side. I have just started working with white-on-white fabrics, and this is super helpful!

[@michellebrown3007]

You all explain things so well that even a beginner like me feels confident that they can do it.😊❤🎉🎉🎉

[@jewellscustomquilting938]

Thanks Jenny and Natalie, for another great tutorial and easy straightforward instruction ❤

Natalie, that pink sweater looks so cute on you! As usual, I love this quilt! It immediately spoke to me when I saw it and am itching to get to my machine and make it. Thank you, Jenny and Team for your hard work! Oh, forgot...I just made Summer Season and absolutely love it! Thank you so much.

Thank you Jenny and Natalie for making Fridays so wonderful. I now think of Friday as the day I begin my day with Jenny, Natalie and Misty❤

I just learned to make my HSTs using the same method a couple days ago. What a breeze. Gorgeous quilt.

[@peggersf9709]

I have a black light penlight that I keep in my sewing room to use for my white one white. Works great 👍🏻👍🏻

[@lynnharrell9598]

Jan, I notice that you comment a lot on these ladies’ appearances.

[@jankalonick4771]

@@lynnharrell9598 I believe that if someone is doing a great job or looks nice then we should all let them know that we appreciate the efforts that they are making to doing their best! It gives them a boost and I have never had that from family so I believe that we all need to hear that others appreciate the efforsts that we make each day. In basic terms - I have no self confidence and I don't want others to feel as I do.

[@jankalonick4771]

@@lynnharrell9598 I have gotten angry over the last little bit. There is nothing wrong about saying something postive to or about someone. If you have a problem with my comments then you just need to skip over whatever I have to say. I think that you are the one who seems to have a problem or want to make more out of what is just a simple complment to someone! So please from now on, if you cannot be nice to other people who post, even if it does not pertain to you, then don't make any comments! Thank you and you have a GOD BLESSED DAY! CAUSE I INTEND TO!

I got a small light that I shine on the white on white fabric to easily tell which is the right side. Works great.

Beautiful!! Thank you for sharing

[@susangage9140]

Really love this quilt

[@motherhenable]

I have been sewing for over 60 years but, I have only started quilting 30 years ago. I have been sporadic about it but no that I'm retired I have been more consistently piecing tops and machine quilting some of the lap quilts. You make them all look so easy to do. I haven't tried the double wedding ring or Dresden plate types yet or any stars. I guess I just have to decide to make them. Next is Jacob's ladder. I watched you and the triple play. I can do it. Thanks for the encouragement.

[@lynnperschke3966]

This is so cute thank you Jenny and Natalie!

[@marshawallace7522]

I absolutely LOVE this block, Jenny❣️ Thanks for sharing and mentioning that it would make great baby quilt. I agree and am already planning one in primary colors.

[@susannagendreau3479]

Omg...the white on white issue...I am there! Sounds brilliant (your fabric). I'm pushing 49 and my eyes are changing - not fun with solid whites nor batiks! 😂 Thank you for your wonderful lessons!❤

[@laureneberhard9456]

What a great quilt to start the new year! I LOVE the fabric line you used.

[@michaeltoddharris3424]

Hello ladies! Thank you so much for all your helpful and fun tutorials. Jenny said tonight she holds the white on white fabric against her jeans or a dark surface and she can tell the right side. I'm sorry I didn't understand what she was looking for to make her decision. I don't have any white on white or I would have tried it at home. Thanks Michael.

[@giselaroy6319]

When you hold a white on white against a darker surface you can clearly see the right sight of the fabric. The back side looks blurred, on the right side the white pattern is very clearly and sharp

[@denisepineda1788]

Wonderful video. It gives me so many ideas. You either fussy cut a few special fabrics for centers or do the whirly gig. Thanks a bunch!

[@FrancesSmeby]

I will sure be making this one. Thanks for making it look easy.

This is a beautiful quilt can’t wait to make it using batiks. I am so glad you used the clearly perfect ruler to square up your block, I could not think of the rulers name, I am going to order one this week, that method is quicker for me . Thanks for this pattern.

I have a small black lite flashlight that makes finding the right side of white on white material super easy

[@zormier2002]

Wow! Jenny this is beautiful. Great job

[@katrinahough290]

Jenny! Get a black light flashlight to see the difference in the white on whites! It's a game changer.

[@sandybruce9092]

I didn’t even know there is a “thing” with a black light flashlight!! I’ve lived long enough to “know” about black lights 😄😄🫢🫢 but had no clue about a flashlight using black light!! I learn so much from MSQC with every single video - and I’ve been quilting since 1979 when we did everything by hand!

[@katrinahough290]

@@sandybruce9092 It is a game changer! I use a lot of white on white, the difference is so obvious. Howard made me an acrylic table that goes around my sewing machine. I put the flash light on the corner facing down. and hold the fabric under the acrylic, it's so obvious the right side from the wrong side. It's helped me so much! With the light shining down, you don't have to worry about it bothering you as you sew.

[@sandybruce9092]

@@katrinahough290 Thank you so much for answering - can these black light flashlights be found easily anywhere, or maybe I should just go to my trusty friend named Amazon??😄😄😄

[@jeanbarnes2481]

When using white on white and it is hard to see, use a black light and you can tell the right side immediately.

[@cathyblood6864]

Funny how the stars have legs. I would call those points! 😊

I sometimes have trouble with rulers slipping (even those with built-in grippers) so my last order from MSQC included several packages of True Grips. And they are amazing!!! So I’ll make sure to add some to my Clearly Perfect rulers.

Great block, thinking of applique ideas for the large blank areas.

I think that would be resolved if the rows were offset. Then the points would show up better, instead of tip to tip.
