Make a "Breezy Windmills" Quilt with Jenny Doan of Missouri Star (Video Tutorial)

[@NannaLiz]

OH, Thank goodness! Finally, a really easy pattern! Even though I am not a beginner, sometimes I need a project that doesn't take much thought and acts more like therapy rather than a brain twister. Thanks!

[@sunflowerbaby1853]

Absolutely. After a complicated one you need an easy, mindless one.

[@chartrucker]

Totally with you on this. I have an epoxy project I'm finishing this morning but I have a date with 2 packs of batik strips for the evening now.

[@rodrigoleroy4001]

A trick: watch series at Kaldrostream. Me and my gf have been using it for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.

[@eddierylan2647]

@Rodrigo Leroy yup, I've been watching on kaldroStream for years myself :D

[@damienarlo7196]

@Rodrigo Leroy Yea, I've been using kaldrostream for since december myself :)

I stay up in Chicago on Thursday night until I see the new tutorial. I always have sweet dreams!

[@karenquigley579]

Me too. I thot I was the only one.

[@lorikalmeyer3501]

Beautiful easy to make quilt. Love batiks too. Navy blue or black would look stunning as the background to the batiks - well in my opinion that is! Thank you for your weekly videos. They are the highlight of my Fridays.

Hallo ladies I am watching from Europe, Luxembourg, always very curieus for the next video, and learning a lot every time, thanks so much.have a great quilting day

I have a beautiful hummingbird batik jelly roll. This will be perfect. Thank you Jenny and all the people at MSQC who make these quality videos and patterns. (Shout-out to the techies behind the scenes!)

What a great project to use up all those pesky leftover strips!! Thank you Ms Jenny ❤️

[@sandydali699]

This really is an easy pattern. Thank you. Now I have to find a jelly roll that has nice bright colors. I love that you get right to doing the instructions without excess chatter.

[@sarahbotha8090]

Oh my and I like the color combinations and so bright and bold.🙂💜💚💛💙

[@dulcilass]

One of my favorite blocks. I've done about 500 of them and have scraps and strips cut for another 300. I use a 2 inch strip cut to 3 1/2 inch which leaves me with a 6" finished block. I love your rainbow effect using the batiks. A lovely happy quilt.

[@aileenc8622]

Now I know what to do with my Kona rainbow jelly roll!

Happy Mother's Day to you Jenny I like this quilt because the colors are vibrant very pretty and easily put together it is a treasure to watch you thank you for the tutorial

[@juliemorrison4348]

Very pretty quilt. Easy steps to follow and scrapbusting the stash would work well. Hope all went well with the shop reopening. The town looked so nice.👍🇦🇺

[@fgeorge3]

My quilt guild did this pattern several years ago as a “mystery” quilt. Since many people have a different 1/4” seam allowance, I helped redo a few blocks. It turned out great.

[@sparkyal43]

Thank you, Jenny. I need some simple quick to make quilts. This one is perfect. ( Jenny, you are getting so slim and trim, I hope that you are taking good care of yourself❤️).

[@sudipta_samanta_kaul]

I love batiks for some reason.. This is so meee... I’m not a professional quilter, only an amateur hobbyist... Have learnt so much from you, still learning.. Thankyou so much..

[@chartrucker]

I absolutely adore a simple quilt that looks like it took years. Can't wait to start this one.

[@littlequiltsong9576]

This sounds like another fun filled pattern. Perfect for all my 2.5" leftover strips. Love it! Thanks Jenny :)!

Thank you for this! Seems like the universe has spoken today. I was given a bag of donation fabric to make quilts for foster kids - 90% 2.5inch strips of different lengths. It is all coordinating spring purples and greens. I think there will be at least 2 lap size quilts in this pattern and they will be lovely!

Ooo Jenny, this is such a happy rainbow quilt with it's little windmills blowing in the wind. I think a rainbow of colours always makes for a happy day and this beauty would look lovely on any bed, be it small or giant. I love the pattern and so easy to bring together making it gorgeous for more reasons. Thank you flower for such a beautiful, happy video. Crafty hugs from Norah, Glenochil Village, Scotland

[@livingweirdestherc6644]

Wow it looks like it would be hard but it’s not. I love it.

[@lindawilson3770]

Very pretty quilt and I love quick! The only thing I would change is to press the strips open and then subcut unless I'm missing a reason why this wouldn't be more efficient.

[@hollywaddell6727]

Great hint. I was thinking about how to add efficiency using the Stripology rulers (GEDesigns) and your observation would accelerate this to the nth degree.

Hi Jenny Good to see yet another lovely project. But you didn't seem to be quite yourself. You look a bit tired. Please take care. I want to see you more ❤❤❤❤

That was my thought as well.. .must be the rush if reopening all the stores. So much to do.

[@janetbailey4282]

I just got a 1 1/2" roll and a regular jelly roll, wonder how this would look with the thinner white? ALSO.........this is a prime example of how important the fabric choices/colors are in creating our quilts..............

[@normachinchilla7685]

Que belleza de block y el terminado es precioso. Los bloques son de 6×6?

[@marlahanks7278]

Ok, I had to laugh "and just like that"! (Forrest Gump) I LOVE this, it's so bright & fun. I'm actually planning on doing something similar with my 2nd oldest granddaughter for her 1st project. The only difference is, we'll be using charm packs-1 of print & 1 of a variety of solids that match the print. I will have to trim off 1/2" of each of her units to make them 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" but thought that would be an easy one to start her on.

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Oooo, sounds like you've got a pretty quilt planned! Keep us posted on how it turns out, especially with introducing your granddaughter to quilting. :D

[@marlahanks7278]

@@MissouriQuiltCo Thanks :) The oldest granddaughter was 7 when she began sewing. She turned 12 yesterday! This one wasn't interested in it quite that early & of course you don't want to push them. They have to WANT to do it :) But I need to get her started soon-she's 10 now.

If I'm sewing a white strip to every batik strip, how do I have enough white left over for the 1st inner border?

If you check out the link you will also need 3/4 yd of white for the inner border.

Dear Jenny, my name is Rita. I live in Germany and I always enjoy your tutorials on youtube! I already learned a lot of tricks and interesting facts during the videos! But for me there is one question left: what interesting iron do you use? I've never seen an iron with an automatic lift inside?! Would you please be so kind and send me the link where I can buy it?:) Thank you in advanced for help!

It’s the Oliso iron. They used to carry it on their website but now they only have the mini version. Might check Amazon. Happy sewing! 🌸

[@estelasteele1173]

So if we are matching every colored strip with a white background strip, how are there enough background strips left to do the first border? Did I miss something?

[@bettymanoulian4645]

The package of colored strips and the white jelly roll (background fabric) have both have the same amount of strips (usually 40-42) = an even match. Jenny did mention the fabric measurements for the inner and outer borders ( ¾ yd. Inner Border Fabric, 1½ yds. Outer Border Fabric).

[@thewaldens90]

Good catch! I didn't hear it in the video, but in the supplies link, it lists 3/4 yd for inner border.

Love all your Videos. Kids keep making me for the puzzle quilt. I can't find a pattern. Any advice?

Just curious... why does Jenny no longer iron to set seams before ironing open? Do we not need to do that?

[@authenticallyamber99]

Some may say it’s imperative but I think it’s fine either way. Jenny probably sometimes skips that step to save time. Viewers tend to like shorter videos so there are time constraints. 🌷

One question.....if you use a 42 strip jelly roll.....you will get 84 blocks. This quilt is a 90 block quilt. Do you need two jelly rolls? Am I misunderstanding something?

[@suzanner8360]

If you have 42” usable length you would get 9 cuts per strip, which she did get nine and talks about that when she is pressing them open. That gives you enough for the extra six blocks but they won’t be matching...she points one out that is blue and green.
