Jenny Doan demonstrates how to make a super simple Boardwalk quilt using 10 inch squares of precut fabric. For this project, Jenny chose Edyta Sitar's "The Seamstress" Sundaes by Laundry Basket Quilts for Andover Fabrics. This quilt is composed of long, pieced columns and simple white sashing.

I love that you say you sew by pictures and the words confuse you. I am the same way. Thank you for sharing this 💙

[@patriciamilovina9178]

Hi Jenny! Greetings from Northern California. I was also a Santa Cruz kid during the summer. Such great memories. Long live The Big Dipper!

[@bethanytaylor65]

Yessssss!! No half square triangles! No matching seams! I’m so ready for a quilt like this! 😂 and you’re right!, a great stash buster! ❤️

[@peggyreinhold886]

This is a great pattern to use for a boy or man quilt. With the right fabric, sport, fishing, wine, cars, tools etc. it would be perfect. Thank you Jenny for sharing it with us, greetings from Germany

[@angiesewtherapy6628]

That's a great idea. I have several men's prints in layer cake and I love a fairly simple pattern. I'm going to try it out with men's prints.

[@carolg.6838]

Good idea. I have a collection of bug fabrics, food fabrics. Christmas and patriotic fabrics. I also like Missouri Star's "Stacks" pattern which this quilt brings to mind because they show it scrappy with white fabric. My grandparents all came to the USA from Germany about 100 years ago.. Hello from near Chicago.

[@kaybaertlein541]

I think this pattern would make an adorable baby quilt. Thanks.

[@apalach8076]

Going to try it in my Christmas scraps.

[@aliciak.8067]

Magnificent work of art. The layout. Of 3 blocks was helpful. I loved this pattern so much I stayed up all night making it. Not once but twice. Darks on one, pastel flowers. On the other. The sashing made it pop. Thank you so much. Great tutorial.

[@moniqued9715]

I just finished making mine tonight!

[@firemare66]

I needed a simple pieced back idea for my quilt and now I've found it. Thank you for posting!

[@zereldahammer5470]

I can see this in different shades/hues of one color, too.

[@angieallen4884]

How fun...I will add this to my "must make" list because I, too, have memories of Santa Cruz boardwalk. We went several summers in the 60s to get out of the Central Valley! Thanks for sparking that memory!

[@ctfddftba]

This is perfect for the stashes of fabric that I have that are coordinating colors and themes from different collections. I haven’t been able to find anything that had large pieces for the bigger prints to be shown off, with nice compact areas for the smaller prints and solids. I can just cut off a 5 inch strip from the fat quarters to equal a layer cake square

[@Sharon-pb7so]

What a cool quilt! I think it's perfect for a stash buster or even entirely made from scraps but use the 3 solid focus fabrics and sashing that compliments the other fabrics but still shows the strips off.

[@angiesewtherapy6628]

That's what I was thinking too. Good idea to keep the 3 solids in a nice complement so the quilt seems to have logic.

[@NannaLiz]

I feel as if I have walked into a paint store where the paint color swatches on the wall had a party! I have a closet full of scraps that may be getting ready to have a Boardwalk party. Thanks.

[@carolbarnes7844]

Love how it goes together and I love cutting the 10 inch squares. Really no waste. Good job

[@sharonchaffins9841]

I like that too,I miss how they put up written measurements on the beginning

[@debrakimbrough9070]

Wouldn't this be adorable made with light tan sashing to look like the sand around a boardwalk? Love this pattern.

[@maureenharrah931]

THe colors are like the taffy shop on the Santa Cruz boardwalk!

[@adelawiley2929]

Great for stash buster as you said, oh nice and scrappy...Thanks again Jenny

[@sandracedar368]

I love EVERYTHING you share! Decisions! Decisions! Decisions!

[@alisonshanahan9529]

I love that there's no waste from the 10" squares.

[@dianneshaddock]

Thanks Jenny, one strip would make a lovely border for the medallion quilt I’m making - take care and happy quilting ☕️🍪

[@jamiewillhite6355]

Oh my gosh, memories came flooding back when you mentioned the Boardwalk in Santa Cruz. We went there alot.

[@laurakiffmeyer9221]

Loved that y'all are adding "traveling" music. Really adds to the watching experience. Love this pattern

[@juanitagreen5088]

Very Beautiful

[@margm4]

That’s a lovely pattern. I got a tad confused, but seems no matter what you do, you get there in the end. Xx

[@lisadunlap6094]

Thank you, Jenny! Perfect for a layer cake that I’d stashed away😊!

[@ritaleek4588]

I love this look. What a great way to let the fabrics shine and have fun piecing it at the same time. Very enjoyable. ❤️

[@lindawilson3770]

Always like a scrappy look whether it's with a precut or fabrics from my stash and this will look great either way. Thanks, Jenny!

[@sylviaaverett2135]

I love love the precut strip. That will be fun to put together ❤

[@carolg.6838]

Absolutely. I didn't know the precut strip was a thing.

[@vickichandler5872]

You are a gem, Jenny! Enjoying watching you and your tutorials brightens my day, always. Thank you. Blessings to all y'all!

[@nilenethompson-finn9062]

Stunning! Thank you Jenny.

[@samiraray5983]

This will be perfect for my panels. It won’t distract from the statement of them

[@laureneberhard1577]

Can definitely seeing this pattern becoming a quick go-to for any fabrics Thanks for always coming up with such great and easy patterns.

[@suestpierre2247]

Awesome. A GREAT scrap buster. Thank you Jenny!

[@Kimba1080]

I just love this pattern. I just order my material to make this. I’m so excited, it will be my first quilt. Wish me luck. Thank you Jenny, I look forward to your videos.

[@elainewerner6261]

How did it go?

[@faitharrowood8001]

Reminds me of a DNA sequence 😍

[@jennifershea7587]

I was thinking that as well.

[@misslizziep8439]

Loved this quilt so much, I’ve made it using Civil War prints I found in an opp shop and my stash. I’ve just about finished handquilting, it and am pleased with the result. So, thank you Jenny for this pattern, such a lot of fun, I’ll probably make more 😊😊😊

[@leslieconnor7883]

Love the versatility you can get from this one. I may try one with black or brown sashing.

[@TheBethoula]

So cute! Love you fabric choices! Thanks Jenny 😊

[@beckyhautanen1774]

Thank you for this inspiring quilt!

[@sharonchaffins9841]

I liked how you use to put a up the measurements in the beginning of your tutorials,that helped me so much.

[@thewaldens90]

Me too, and it's added back again. See the 1:22 mark. Hope that's what you're talking about. Happy sewing!

[@M0M0F2P0Ms]

haha I just saw this pattern on your website yesterday and was looking for the YT Tutorial and didn't find it! Whoop THERE IT IS!!

[@karlasantoro4981]

What a fun quilt! So many possibilities. Thanks.

[@pamketron]

I really like this quilt Jenny. I’ve never made a quilt but gonna make this one. It looks easy enough. Waiting on a fabric line to release and then gonna give it a whirl. Thanks for all the great instructions. You are the best. 💕☀️🧵

[@conqueringmountscrapmorewi2509]

Such a cute quilt! Thanks for posting this video!

[@cindygray813]

Love this pattern. Thanks for sharing.

[@wendycarter7620]

What a great scrappy quilt this would be!

[@KimberlyNichols]

What a great pattern, thank you so much!

[@karengarland9669]

Thank you 😊 for another great pattern and tutorial. This pattern would be great to show off a few favorite fabrics too

[@trishlovesdogs3188]

Love this one! The cutting is so easy

[@rosesbaker]

Looks like fun... can imagine in Christmas colors...

[@arlenewilson8227]

This was fun and quick to make. I used scraps and it turned out super cute .

[@wyorose5965]

Got to visit Hamilton a couple weeks ago. What a treat. The ultimate quilters candy store!

[@carmensaid3909]

Thank you so much jennymmmm

[@cherokeedancer8448]

This is awesome. Thank you, Jenny

[@deniseneeleman1097]

Wow, I am definitely going to make this Boardwalk quilt.

[@robinhewitt8251]

Great to see you doing videos again!! Very pretty block.

[@Stitching_grandma]

Sorry, but I had to truly laugh out loud when you said to use a 60 INCH rotary cutter. My imagination went crazy wild.

[@jennydoan57]

Oh my goodness!!!

[@shellydicey9454]

I am going to try this. Love the entire quilt. Thanks

[@leeannmcmahon1640]

I had to buy this one, as well as the Wanderlust pattern. These two intrigue me and will start them soon.

[@kommanderwood6778]

This would be so cute as an Eye Spy quilt! Just the right size to go on a grandkids bed, or you could make a few adjustments to make it a picnic quilt!

[@80657]

Wow that's beautiful Jenny. I love this. Its now on my to-do list 😂😂.....Another great quilt tutorial. You guys sure do know how to keep us quilters in our toes lol. Great quilt...God bless

[@MsChris23456]

Love it!

[@deliaarambula7188]

Sooo beautiful ....like always !

[@beverlystouffer2115]

Thank YOU! This is so cool!!! Favorite 4th is celebrating with family in Helena, MO. Fun, Food, and Fire works!!!!

[@pirjoraila4605]

Great for leftover pieces. I would cut the large print only in half and make the smaller pieces from smaller prints. Just to make the most of the fabric.

[@reta165]

Maravilloso kmo tdo lo q utd hace ,adore ,me encanto y me super encanta con la onda q utd nos enseña tan amablemente ,reciba mi cariño enorme,respeto y admiracion desde Buenos Aires Argentina 💖💖💖💖💖

[@patriciahomer5342]

Beautiful fabrics!

[@barbaraross270]

Pretty

[@denisepineda1788]

What a great quilt and it would sure use up a lot of my scraps. Thanks for the awesome video!

[@kymburriss4260]

Thank you for another wonderful idea ! The quilt is awesome

[@theresazachert4786]

Beautiful great for beginners like me❤️

[@matthewflinchum5452]

I loved this tutorial! You always make it so clear and easy to follow! I definitely will gather some fabric supplies to make this quilt! Matthew

[@karenjackson954]

I love this. Already have the perfect layer cake in my stash and a kona cream 1.5 jelly roll to pull it together. Going to make this for sure. Sometimes it's nice to do something different. 🙂👍🪡🧵

[@sarahbotha8090]

Jenny, this is good, way to go, great 🙂

[@kathykaplan497]

This might be a good pattern for a memory quilt!

[@katheytiller3436]

Omg....I'm cutting out 5 inch strips now for my girlfriend's memory quilt for her mom who went to heaven 2 months ago...I'm going to chg to this pattern...

[@ceceliathex9924]

I like how you dressed up youo ironing mat. Great idea! I'ma try that.

[@theweatherisaokay4964]

You made it so simple, I'm struggling even to cut fabric evenly. Beautiful quilt.

[@liletteautrey8481]

I really enjoyed it , it was so simple to follow up

[@juliemorrison4348]

Pretty quilt👍🇦🇺

[@TheNerdistheWord]

Jenny! You look great!

[@delilamiller9197]

This is a great pattern. Thanks.

[@homedecor3257]

Super!❤❤❤

[@kayevee8018]

Hi from down under. this one look easy and fun.

[@juliacrocetto1109]

I made a baby quilt like that years ago and had no idea it had a name!

[@livingweirdestherc6644]

That is a beautiful quilt

[@marietteforget7804]

Thanks a lot for another great tutorial of a very cool quilt! 🌸🌸

[@bethkoch11]

That's a pretty big quilt, but obviously it would be easy to adjust the size by making shorter columns and less of them. I like trying different methods, paper piecing, applique, different types of templates, etc., and Jenny always gives us such a variety of patterns and techniques. The only thing I"m not on board for is hand-sewing - if a lot of that is involved, count me out.

[@shawnmercercrain9727]

Beautiful 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@Karen-Not-That-Karen]

Fabric is beautiful

[@lindabrown2868]

I would buy yardage for the smashing and cut on the lengthwise grain, less stretching

[@myndolin]

This seems like it could be a great scrap quilt with a few adjustments. You mentioned the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and now I'm dying to know where you grew up, Jenny! My family lived in Santa Cruz for generations, and I just left that area yesterday. The Boardwalk is my absolute favorite place.

[@beverleysimmons8080]

Now Jenny this is awesome i have tons of scraps this makes sense to me thank you from Newfoundland Canada guess i could do a baby quilt or a lap quilt any chance of doing another crumb block video lol

[@melissaverett6338]

This may be a beginner quilt, but keeping these little pieces in the right order is really critical to the overall effect. Because if they aren't all in there as patterned, the strips will not blend correctly. The long pieces bump up and down, and the accent pieces run along a section of the line that your eye will latch on to if the pieces are put in correctly. It's not pleasing to the eye if the pieces don't carry the eye easily across the lines of the quilt. Now keeping them in order is actually very challenging. I had all sorts of notes on my pattern when I finished. I am planning to try it again for a king using Venice. I loved the pattern. It's not just for beginners, though!

[@queenvashtiful]

I love the iron...

[@nevafitzgerald2402]

Thank you so much I will check it😇😍

[@lindabrown2868]

I also would make this from scraps make it a little smaller with wider borders and use it for a backing as well.

[@bevwyckoff2451]

Kicking myself I didnt see this yesterday before I cut all scraps for a string quilt. So much prettier

[@janiesoito4494]

The Boardwalk is still going strong.

[@ferndelaney3918]

Sweet Jenny, I love this pattern. It made me start thinking of what I had in my stash. I just wish you hadn't switched from letters to numbers interchangeably. It would have been a good time for some editing. Still having great memories of my visit to Hamilton about 5 years ago. When my pocketbook can handle it, I want to come and see what the new stores are.

[@lesliekisser3354]

What happened to the old guitar song that played while Jenny was sewing? I loved that music!! Great quilt Jenny
