Make a "Diamond Chain" Quilt with Jenny Doan of Missouri Star (Video Tutorial)

[@maureenkotwic5461]

I just made myself smile....I love all your tutorials and so many quilts I want to make...at 72 years young I don’t think I am going to make all the quilts I have saved in my library 🤣🤣🤣🤣...not a beginner to sewing...but I am to quilting...and yes I am hooked...thank you for making it so simple to make these amazing quilts...Maws from OZ 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

[@lisaworkman4293]

Great teacher you can tell very good mom as well!

[@nancydublin9666]

Jenny, you have no idea how glad I was to find the TURN STYLE tutorial, so I could finally locate the pattern! I had searched and searched both You Tube and your website. Absolutely nothing. I couldn't remember the name of it so that impeded my search also. Downloaded the pattern, printed it, and saved to my hard drive just in case I lose track of it again. I just love that pattern!!!! Now, I'm finding this "diamonds" pattern. It looks absolutely great too. Where in the world do you come up with ideas? You must have imaginative people working with you to produce easy, quick, and beautiful patterns. I thank you so much!

[@janetpatterson9593]

I just bought this pattern. I'm going to make mine 8 blocks across by 10 blocks down. It will have three borders for a queen-sized quilt with a 10" tuck. Thanks for such a great pattern that looks intricate but very easy to put together.

[@holiday-td6hx]

As I have said almost every week....I don't know how you manage to come up with a wonderful quilt every week! I know it's not just "YOU" Jenny....but that is what makes it all the more interesting because SEVERAL people, from the people that work in the shops to show everyone the beautiful fabrics and tools that make quilting fun, to the warehouses to make the orders "perfect" as possible each and every day so that everyone that orders from MSQC gets that amazing box coming from little ol' Hamilton, MO... but before it reaches that mail truck....many talents hands have made it possible for that "one" order or one RIGHT AFTER the other order to get sent to those excited people that find so much joy and pleasure from watching Jenny's tutorials, to reading or posting a comment on the MSQC forum, to the messages that the "forum friends" have cultivated over the years, or whatever the reason MSQC has touched you in whatever way, big or small we all enjoy and appreciate how much we love Jenny and her awesome wonderful way she does the tutorials in such way that even the first time quilter can learn how to make something for her family and friends to enjoy forever and always! Thank you MSQC Company & Family!!!

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Hello there! Thank you for your extremely kind and thoughtful comment. We are so thankful to have a wonderful Missouri Star family, with amazing people like you in it! It is a team effort, and we are blessed to have some of the best team members a quilt shop could ask for right here in Hamilton! Thank you so much for your support. We appreciate your kindness and for sharing such a nice complement with our team! :)

@@MissouriQuiltCo You bet!!! (no problem!)

[@nvrhomenvrhome3407]

I'm a beginner and I love this pattern - quick and easy.

[@karlasantoro4981]

These tutorials are wonderful. I'm a seasoned quilter, and learn something whenever I watch one. My quilting would have progressed much faster if I had something like these available 25 years ago. :-) Thanks for doing them. You've made quilting a joy for so many.

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

We're thrilled to hear that Karla! Keep up the great work!

[@windyday434]

This is a much easier version of the Jewel Box quilt. Love it!

[@dawnwiser8454]

I made a table runner using autumn colors. Turned out gorgeous.

[@dawnmason9558]

Hope Jenni is enjoying FOQinBirmingham UK. We are honoured to have her in our lovely city.

[@kayperry7999]

Now I know how to make a 4 patch block. Really simple thank you for teaching us. I appreciate that. Thank you.

[@rustydip1]

Super easy block to make even for a beginner like me!! I also like your method of making the 4 patch block. Easy peasy!! Thank you so much for your tutorials!!!

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Thanks for taking the time to leave this sweet message rustydip1! We're so glad you enjoyed watching this tutorial.

[@deborahnolan9360]

Friday is my favorite day ... a new Jenny tutorial with my morning tea!

[@gordonwalter5477]

Jenny, you make sewing look so easy. I know after many projects you have learned most of the tricks of sewing. You explain the projects so well. Love you and the Girls quilts

[@bettyjanegrant2566]

I love this quilt.......looks nice. You make them all LOOK easy......guess thats way I watch you teach (us) the right way. watch you daily, think I may have all your older one...love them all . Thanks.

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

We're so glad you enjoyed watching this tutorial Betty! Happy quilting!

[@luvpugz9659]

Wow! Once again a beautiful quilt without complicated blocks! You still amaze me after all these years! 😍

[@ljgrow]

I love this pattern! I made it for a little boy toddler blanket. It turned out so CUTE! Thanks Jenny!

[@graylagran7443]

Love it! Virtually no waste with these 2 blocks methods!

[@mamas_quilts3573]

Ohhh! Another great tutorial, Jenny ❤ Thanks everybody😍 at MSQC🌹

[@patriciaguevara8793]

I’ve had 2 packs of 5” squares (identical) that I wanted to do something with - this is perfect! Thank you to you and your staff and family for all your hard work for us.

[@belyndamulloy33]

I love how you did the 4 patches out of a charm square. I don't remember seeing that before. Thank you Jenny. I look forward to your tutorials every week.

[@loispewhairangi2388]

I love how this lock comes together and the secondary pattern. Thank you Jenny for another great tutoy

[@loispewhairangi2388]

Tutorial

[@rosehavenfarm2969]

When I first saw this quilt, I thought it would be too difficult for me, what with all those little squares. I was wrong! It's like the block is magical. I will trythis, definitely.

[@pamharmon9354]

2009 I started a Dresden plate , I didn’t finish it but, I help one of my co-workers get started and she finished a quilt for her granddaughter , graduation last year. I have done several sample squares just to see if I could do it and pass the directions on to others Just love helping others same as you do. Thank you

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Oh wow, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge of sewing with those around you, and for helping those with their quilting/sewing journeys. :)

[@craftingaplannedlifejoanna9291]

That is such an ingenious way of making a 4 patch! Thanks for sharing yet another great tip, Jenny!!!

[@SandDrift1]

I am working on this quilt at the moment, but rather than use pre-cuts I am cutting from my scraps. The squares are sewn as leaders and enders as I work on other projects. It is a pleasure to see my Diamond and Chain quilt quietly growing without actually “working” on it, if that makes sense. 🥴😊

[@debmetheral6596]

Lovely quilt Jenny it is so much nicer listening to when you are using the baby lok than o the noisy Ever Sew.

[@melaniehefner1098]

Love this fabric line.

[@siscarmichael2949]

I like the way you do your four patch! Easy!

[@nagaritahenderson7119]

Beautiful

[@joanhartz986]

What a great quilt to use up your scraps!

[@denisepineda1788]

What a great 2 block wonder! Thanks for simplifying this quilt. It is much appreciated.

[@KelleysQuiltsandCruises]

“I love it when a plan comes together.” I swear I heard George Peppard’s voice in my head after you said that. Jenny you are awesome!

[@mamas_quilts3573]

Kelley I love when y'all catch these things!! Then I 😅 go back and watch again! ❤ happy quilting!

[@dianag5013]

I have so many charm packs! This is such a great way to finally dive into them! Thanks again Jenny, for another great tutorial 👍😀

I love the colors. They pop. Bright colors. Of course, I love all your tutorials. I have made the fence rail stars , 2 times for gifts Loved them. Thanks again Sweet personality you have. Been watching you long long time.

[@teripranger2824]

Beautiful quilt !!!! Jenny thank you for all your videos. You hwve taught me so much from making quilts to rewatching your video with your grandson on bow ties and a bow for his sister I made a headband for my grandaughter thats due Thanksgiving 2019.

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Oh wow! Congratulations on the new addition to your family. We are so happy for you, Teri! :) Thank you for tuning in!

[@HouseHuntinginMaineBuxton]

Doing this with the 2 Land of Liberty charm packs I bought from you. It's going to be a picnic quilt for a niece who is getting married.

[@honibear6478]

Jenny another great quilt block. Thanks for sharing 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽❤️

[@LinniePA]

I believe this block is also called "Jewel Box" ... we did one at a quilt group using a Kaffe Fassett LAYER CAKE (cut in 4 equal pieces gives you FOUR charm packs) and a white/cream LAYER CAKE (also cut into 4 equal pieces). EASY block to piece and very pretty when assembled. I've made several quilts using this block/setting ... need to try it in a scrappy Christmas theme!

[@terisparkman9814]

What a beautiful quilt!

[@cathytaylor1203]

Thank you, Jenny!!!

[@kimabbs920]

This is a great scrap buster! Can't wait to try!

[@cherylmathe3170]

Great tutorial. More fun ways to use pre cuts.

[@suecone2198]

I have a lot of charm packs so now I am going to put them to great use! I already purchased that ruler but haven’t used it yet but it will be put to good use ! Thanks you always make things seem so easy! Love y’all. Thanks 😘

[@mamas_quilts3573]

Yes! A great teacher!! ❤

[@shafaqkhan7355]

yes JENNY WE LOVE IT

[@retah2547]

Soft colors. Jordan fabrics did this tutorial in January, calling it Jewel Box, using a black background and bright colors. Nice to see color variations of same pattern.

[@shirleypitts5357]

Shirley Pitts I am working on this one now -thank-you Jenny

[@deadiemeyers1661]

I think this is a lovely variation on the traditional Jacob's Ladder pattern.Thanks for another great video!

[@DianePahl]

Yes, it looks like a Jacob's Ladder to me :) Right now, I'm too lazy to compare haha.

[@robinwhiddon5728]

Yes it is Jacobs ladder. I just made one called jewel box. It’s a beautiful pattern.

[@DianePahl]

@@robinwhiddon5728 I have always loved it. I have some fabric put aside for one - just need to get off my you know what to make it. Ohh I like the Jewel Box quilt, too - especially the vibrant colors.

[@robinwhiddon5728]

Diane Pahl I actually made 2 tops of it but only quilted the one. It’s the most intricate one I have done. My one piece of advice is watch those points. I’m a novice at them but it turned out beautiful anyway. Practice makes perfect they say. I’ll keep working on them. 😊

[@DianePahl]

@@robinwhiddon5728 I quilted a long time ago -in the 80's/90's and then life/work/kids happened and now the kids are on their own so I have fabric to sew! I've forgotten what I knew back then but am looking forward to re-learning :)

[@jenharris4470]

Beautiful. Love the triangle ruler you used Jenny.

[@Cyrilmc222004]

[@marypriest3837]

So Awesome . Thank you for showing me this

[@janetbailey4282]

Love how the Jacobs Ladder you taught is the same as this quilt pattern, BUT no one would know it with beautiful change is vibrate colors.

Hi Jenny, this was a wonderful tutorial. Thanks for giving us the skills and confidence to make awesome quilts!

[@sharonpost8927]

I think this would be pretty as a two color quilt. Also could be done with the half square triangles scrappy and the 4 patches all the same.

[@janetbailey4282]

Yes, this pattern in 2 ccolors is called the Jacobs ladder.

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

We're thrilled you enjoyed this tutorial, Kay! We'll be sure to pass along your suggestion to Jenny. Happy quilting!

[@loriar1027]

I wonder if two rows might make a nice table runner as well?

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

We think that would be absolutely darling!

[@siscarmichael2949]

Awesome idea!

[@handmadebyMickie]

Wonderful as always! I’m surprised you don’t use your corner to corner seam marker ruler to draw the half square triangles sew lines.

[@sabithakamath3632]

Super

[@jwestfalldavis3574]

It looks like Jewel Box to me.

[@davereinders5932]

Question? The four patch blocks came out as 4 3/8 inch. So now do I trim the half square blocks to that size to make everything fit? Is that a normal occurrence or did I do something wrong? Or do you use smaller seams and try stretch the blocks when joining? Great tutorials - learn a lot each time.

[@denheels]

Jenny doesn’t sound like her normal cheery self. I hope everything is ok since she filmed this!
