Learn to Make Fast and Easy Pinwheels with Jenny Doan of Missouri Star! (Instructional Video)

[@annelumsden5775]

If all else fails find Jenny on youtube. With my 1/4" foot and 2 x 5 1/2" squares I made a 6 1/4" pinwheel and from 2 x 6" squares I get a 7" pinwheel. Many thanks for life saver tutorial.

[@gracefarnese9334]

I enjoy your tutorials so much. I have a memory deficit, so being able to rewind when I forget is so wonderful. Thank you.

[@kaybutcher5719]

Your tutorials are continually helpful Jenny! Revisiting this one many years down the road from the date you originally aired this. Needed an update since I hadn’t done pinwheels in several years. Thank you. :)

[@ShannaDally]

I'm a visual learner, so having you show me how to do this makes it SO much easier! My nieces will get the pinwheel quilts they wanted for Christmas for sure now! Thanks!!

[@strusilo]

Are you kidding??? I wish I saw this 48 hours ago before I made this quilt. This is awesome.

[@maryandrod]

This technique works great with layer cakes too. You get a nice, large pinwheel that makes for a quick, cute quilt. Thanks for your great videos.

[@kathye.9413]

I have always had a crush on pinwheels (the plastic kind, the cookie kind AND the quilt kind!), so this is a perfect video for me to get started on a new project. Missouri Star always gives the best videos and tutorials...thank you!

[@deereip5439]

This is the tutorial that introduced me to MSQC and I have been in love with them ever since. Thank you Jenny.

[@carolhewgley3262]

The pinwheel tutorial gave me an idea to use up all the charm paks I have collected. I also am in love with the tutorial on 'one seam ' flying geese! I love flying geese but hate seeing the sides to the triangle. Keep the tutorials coming! I'm addicted!

[@suzannebiagiotti7642]

I’m 66 and have been quilting since I was 7. Taught by my grandmother, everything done by hand. This is the next best thing since sliced bread!! How easy and wonderful is this! THANKYOU, I’m so glad I just happen to see this by chance..am subscribed now, can’t wait to learn more shortcuts!

[@luciabakova]

I knew I should just fins this tutorial right away instead of trying to figure it out myself or look for meaningless tutorials on the net! Jenny never disappoints. Even if I think " No way, this is to ambitious" once Jen starts it suddenly clicks! Just brilliant, every tutorial! Thanks Jenny you are a star! 🙂

[@maryrose8617]

Jenny I love your youtube videos, thank you very much for sharing. I am 62 and have been sewing and quilting since I was 7 and I love how easy you make things. I am always telling people to go watch Jenny at MSQC. I have taught my grandchildren and family how to make so many things from watching your videos, my youngest grandchild that is sewing now is 9 and I have her watch the video before we start sewing.

[@lyndapalmer1525]

When it snowed this week I decided to sit down and try this method for making half square triangles. So fast and easy. Thank you.

[@helenpotts1549]

This is just what I needed! I made 3 pinwheel blocks the old way before I put them away and started a different project instead. This is a huge help. Now I'm excited to get back to the pinwheels. Thanks for making it easy!

[@nicolegeorgine9493]

I’m new to quilting and I’m so glad I found this video! Pinwheels aren’t so hard after all!

[@lindagrant9207]

This is the first one of Jenny's videos that I saw and I felt right away that I could do it! I can sew, but had never tried quilting because I was told you had to do a lot of geometry! I couldn't remember that far back! But after seeing this I think I can!

[@travisanderson2479]

Every day comes with renewed hope and new opportunities, make sure to seize them! Have a nice day!

[@letmequilt]

How refreshing Jenny is, charming and refreshing and explains in a simple way.,

[@TheJanluna]

Jenny you did it again! It's easy and you can see which way the pinwheel is supposed to go. You are just brilliant! Thank you.

[@travisanderson2479]

Every day comes with renewed hope and new opportunities, make sure to seize them! Have a nice day!

[@pennythomas3071]

Really enjoyed the pinwheel tutorial...think I actually could do it. I really enjoyed the herringbone turorial....looked very easy. Thanks Jenny! !

[@travisanderson2479]

Every day comes with renewed hope and new opportunities, make sure to seize them! Have a nice day!

[@kathleenschott1612]

I really like this tutorial and the short cut you shared. I had stopped quilting for two years, finding you and all your tutorials, have made it fun again. Thank you very much.

[@judypolinski7491]

Finally a tool to see in action what the pattern books talk about. Pinwheels were very overwhelming at first but now things make perfect sense. As a beginning quilter having the video has been very helpful. I now have this site on auto play for future reference. Thanks!

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

We're so glad to hear that Judy!

[@kristipessarra1897]

As a beginning quilter, all of the tips and tricks are saving me so much time!

[@carincaldwell6333]

I want to said how much fun I made 54 5x5 Pin wheel squares. This was my first time to do any quilting. Thanks, Carin

[@cindyslavick1865]

This shortcut for pinwheels is so much faster than the traditional way. I love all of the shortcuts shared by Jenny!

[@liltdanh08]

I was hesitant about doing pinwheels till I saw this tutorial. Will b trying tonight. You broke it down so simple and easy and started with the pre cut squares or charm packs. Which is what I have.

[@suecone2198]

I think these kind of tutorials is what got me hooked on Missouri Star!

[@cherylanderson3491]

I just want you to know I made my first pinwheel block. Yes, just one block, but I have never tried before. Thank you Jenny for the great tutorial !

[@lorrihagen1182]

It really is a great video for a beginner. My three year old grandson is just learning to quilt with me and this is his favorite video. He just finished his first two pinwheels (with help of course).

[@gerisalisbury7305]

I am a senior citizen but a new quilter. I loved this tutorial because it was easy to follow. Didn't make me feel like a dummy. Have learned so much from Jenny. Thank you

[@maugonzo1]

omg I can't believe this is so easy to do....never tried a pinwheel cause I always thought it was hard, well thanks to you no longer. I am going to start, Thank you so much.

[@haslindaabdhamid5866]

Thanks Jenny...u make me feel easy to try the pinwheel craft...can't wait to try....

[@Skipperoonie2]

I used this tutorial and made my daughter a gorgeous pinwheel quilt for her new bedroom for her 13th birthday. It was SO easy! I am finding pinwheels a bit addictive. They are just so easy and fun!

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

We're thrilled to hear that Leah! What a wonderful gift to give your daughter for her 13th birthday! We'd love to see a picture of your pinwheel quilt sometime.

[@pamelaannbalistreri6882]

I have 7 grandchildren and would love to make them quilts! How many pinwheels did you make assuming it was a twin bed size??

[@MsSeaShellz]

I am in AWWWW you are amazing!!! I am new to quilting, Thank You for sharing everything you do!!! I will be trying this today!!!

[@jeffhillendahl648]

I am new to quilting, and not very practiced with sewing. I love the pinwheels quilts demonstrated by Jenny because it l can produce something lovely without being a pro. Thank you

[@MusicalTheatreMum]

Sewing World in Willetton (WA, Australia) recommended this site. It is great for a beginner because you can "see" the quilting shapes coming together, and techniques are repeated over and over so nothing is missed. Thanks.

[@rondabergeron4414]

I always make any size block that requires a pinwheel pattern. I find if you cut off those little tips from the squares before you sew the block together you don't get any bulk. Love your easy ways Jenny!

[@janiceniles209]

Would love to see a trip around the world or attic window tutorial. Love watching you. you really have been an inspiration to me. I have told so many friends about you. Thank you soooo much.

[@Cassyopia]

Oh my gosh! That's just redonculous! I've been spending about 3 days trying to figure this out... thank you so much!

[@kimberleyrose7283]

What an ingenious way to make the pinwheel block (and half-square triangle)! I have made these several times and just love pinwheels. Thank you for these timesavers!

[@beckyg718]

You're the best and most helpful with tips and shortcuts! You wouldn't believe the agonizing pinwheels quilts I've made in the past! Thanks again, can't wait to try this one. Keep the video's coming!!

[@TheDunroaminfarm]

My husband and I moved to Vermont from Florida 3 1/2 yrs ago. I am giving in to my new friends and making a quilt this winter. Your videos make everything so quick and simple. Thank you, I can't wait to get started. Judy

[@mountainsno]

Thank you. I found you years ago and I rely on all these great building block tutorials.

[@gwengriba3993]

Hi, I too am new to quilting, sewing period for that matter. When I retired I discovered I needed a hobby and someone suggested quilting. I am so glad I discovered Jenny and the Missouri Star Quilt co. love it. I love this tutorial because it makes the pinwheel looks so easy to do. I haven't worked up the nerve yet but I will certainly try this method. Thank you Jenny

[@aok1951]

Thank you for this and all your easy to follow tutorials - they are greatly appreciated.

[@bubbaboocupcakes]

[@mountainsno]

[@MommyExpectations]

Love this quilt. Think this will be my next project with patriotic fabrics

[@JaneT4808]

So apparently I'm late getting to this Pinwheel party. I'm very grateful to have found this video. Quilting my very first quilt.

[@TheresaGinsburg]

Wow, I was so afraid to make pinwheels until I watched this video. Thank you so much!! Now I can make the memory quilt I want for my cousin!!

[@auntvivie]

Yay!!! I'm so excited to give this a try!!! YOU ARE THE REASON I KEEP RETURNING TO KZbin!!!

[@erikahatcher5492]

This is a priceless tip (sewing the block all 4 sides) - Thanks Jenny

[@nancyrowe124]

Im so glad you showed me this !! I hate to make the Pin wheels but ready to try now ! Thank You So Much

[@kckblogger6682]

Thank you very much for your tutorials. I have never sewn anything in my life but am learning how to piece fabrics together and quilting. You made it look doable to beginner's and I am loving every step.

[@bettyresch6975]

I love Jenny's tutorials. This is one I really enjoy. Pinwheels make such cool quilts but Jenny always has a way to make projects so much easier. Keep up the great work.

[@travisanderson2479]

[@atoz1mom]

I love this method. I needed a quick idea for a doll quilt for my friends daughter. When I saw this video I just knew it would be perfect. I used fabric from my stash. I used 4 in. squares and sashing between each pinwheel. It worked perfect. The quilt turned out perfect and everyone loved it.

[@babymans]

Thanks Jenny ! I am making my son a birthday pinwheel quilt with all the different holidays ! love your instructions - so easy !

[@michaeleencrow6353]

I love anything that makes quilting easy with the end product looking like you've spent hours in making it. What an easy way to make pinwheels! Love it!

[@susanallen4603]

Wow. So much easier and faster than the way I know. Can't wait to try this. Thanks, Jen.

[@maryannlago8057]

I've always had trouble with pinwheels and triangles in general. This method has saved me a lot of grief...and ripping!

[@PrchrsWife1]

Struggling today with pinwheel points! Argh. Found this and wow what a difference 10 years makes! Jenny and MSQC have sure come a long way!! ❤️

[@susandegarmo4102]

I am that I found this video just in time!!! And it's almost 10 years old. WOW, WOW!! I am attempting to make a honey bee quilt with pinwheels, you just saved my life!!! Thanks so much and many blessings!!

[@martilindsey]

Oh Jenny....you make this look so easy. I tried it and alothough it wasn't hard, mine did not look at good as yours. Thanks for these tutorials.....they inspire me!

[@maryannsandore7102]

I just love all of your tutorials! It's to pick just one.

[@Kathybabe4]

I'm new to quilting… This looks like a fun quilt to make!

[@34the3dogs]

Jenny, you absolutely amaze me! Your tutorials are the best. Your days must fly bye with all the new things you have to show us and with the crew you have it must be laughing all day! I watch your videos everyday. Have you ever concidered making a DVD of all the tutorials you have. I for one would be interested in purchasing it so I could watch them in my sewing room on the TV?? Bigs Hugs! Connie

[@travisanderson2479]

Every day comes with renewed hope and new opportunities, make sure to seize them! Have a nice day!

[@luchauna]

I am planning to use this technique to create an Oklahoma Twister quilt. Thank you for all the fabulous things you teach!

[@arphalynehelbing3245]

I love Missouri quilt star tutorials. When I first started quilting I tried a pin wheel quilt and it took forever. Then I saw this tutorial and I laughed at how easy it is to make them. Now I always check first for a quick method. Thank you for your help:)

[@peggyborelli7698]

Looks so easy and fun. This makes me excited to start a pinwheel quilt!

[@thebluebunny1]

hi im trying the pinwheel im amazed on how fast and fun this project is this takes the work out of it and puts the fun back in lol

[@chez6405]

Thanks Jenny, this is such an easy method. I'm making a quilt and the pattern uses a flying geese and a rectangle of the background solid sewn together for each arm of the pinwheel! So much unnecessary bulk and work! I'll be trying to work out what size of square to start with, but that'll probably be easier than the pattern's method. You are awesome, Jenny xx

[@333emer]

Thank you, I Just made my First pinwheel ! I always wanted to quilt. Your easy , detailed, slow, patient Direction here de serve much credit. I am so happy :)

[@jeanettelord4507]

I’m so glad I found you! I’m wanting to use quilt squares to make pillows for autumn and Christmas, but I’ve never quilted. You’ve made it so easy. Wish I could send you a picture of what I’m making. Just about finished. Thank you!!

[@geraldinefayne975]

Enjoyed watching this old tutorial today. Some changes since then and now

[@imagatorvetmom]

I've bought my fabric and ready to get started. Never quilted but this is something I know I can do! Thanks for getting me started.

[@heartsupnorth]

Sometimes it helps to think out side the box !! in this case, the old way of doing things! Kudos ! This is so fast I cant wait to try it! Love the tutorials! Keep them comming!

[@robyns7914]

This was awesome. I’m having to cut more half sq triangles for minimum 20 blocks. Saving time. Thank you

[@fr0stbyt]

You make everything look so easy. I have spent the last two days cutting out triangles and sewing them together.

[@jenniferbiddle]

Brilliant! I'm a beginner and i love this tutorial.

[@27tish]

I never had a clue quilts could be this easy, im gonna be making some for myself. Thank you

[@trishheath4232]

I just love the look, have my half done as a scrap quilt, just so helpful. Thanks! A joy of my life.

This is also a great way to make easy quarter-square triangles! Another great video from MSQC!

[@marthacymbaluk3513]

It is impossible to choose just one of my favorite tutorials for the giveaway. I have watched this one over and over because I couldn't believe how much easier Jenny makes it. MSQC is an adult's Disneyland! ..lol....I hope one day both my husband and I can go and shop there. He hears me watch the videos. He recognizes Jenny's voice now...lol...We live in Tucson, Az but he is from MN. Thank you for all the tutorials for all of us visual learners!!. God bless you all.
