Make a "Good Fortune" Quilt with Jenny Doan of Missouri Star (Video Tutorial)

[@carolines416]

This is the prfect marriage of fabric to pattern, this is probably one of my top 5 quilt patterns from MSQC! The accent color choices make it pop, yet it isn't jarring in any way. I agree that this would be spectacular in one of the Christmas color schemes, maybe the pink blue and white snow flakey one (Winter fabric)!!!

[@karentzn]

I am blown away with this design. It leaves me looking and looking and looking. Your blue/grey sashing had made this incredible. Thank you for the second design. Imagine having 2 beds in the same room with one of each design on them. I’m in love. Thank you Jenny and team

[@jacquelinemca6614]

That’s a wonderful idea.. 🥰🥰🥰

[@goatladygletha792]

😮Oh, I think I like the bonus quilt block better ! WoW ! This is great ! 😀

[@youngmanmary2918]

Jenny gives me hope and I just love how it is okay to make a mistake

[@terrymcmanus2971]

I love your messes, it shows how real you are and what really happens in the sewing home that ends up with happy and beautiful quilts.

[@lindafudge57]

I love this so much. Jenny you make my day

[@drudewitt]

Pretty quilt, as always, but I just want to comment how much I love Jenny. She's like the best friend you wish you had, and watching these tutorials is just so relaxing and reassuring. Thanks, guys!

[@stuckinstitches]

I agree she is the sweetest lady!!

[@shelleyramsey9410]

Absolutely agree....what a blessing she is to all of us!

[@sarat8574]

I was thinking that too...thanks for posting that :). Hope to meet her in person one day...if we're ever allowed to travel again.

[@jacquelinemca6614]

Ohhh.. she’s absolutely adorable.. 🥰🥰.. explains everything like she’s chatting with her best friend!!.. ☘️☘️☘️

[@karynfreund4426]

❤ I absolutely love this quilt and the fabric. I am in search of the pattern. I will make that my evening task.

[@ksharpe8137]

Speaking of being angley challenged....I recently made a memory quilt from my Mom’s clothing after she passed away. Imagine my surprise when I got it back from the long arm quilter and there were two places where I messed up. I was upset that I had messed it up but then I could hear my Mom say “Honey, it’s fine! That just gives the quilt character.” I decided to just enjoy the quilt for what it is, a memory quilt. Now, I never look at it without thinking of my Mom and how she was always such an encouragement when it came to my quilting. She was so proud of me and my quilts. ❤️

[@grandmalovesmebest]

How lucky you are! Sorry for your loss, your mom must have been a great one. You can honor her by passing on her quality of giving encouragement. She would be proud that her kindness was spread out into the world by her little girl. It helps me when I discover a mistake on my quilts, I say, "relax, it's a quilt (or wall hanging or whatever) it's not a wedding gown!" 😁 Makes work a joy, not a chore.🙋

[@katienorth1311]

I used to get so cross with me when I found a mistake I could not fix. Then someone told me the Amish quilters always make a mistake, because only God is perfect, so I am happy to go along with that too.

[@airmom8716]

What a wonderful touching story. I also lost my Mom- my best friend about 4 years ago. Recently I was home recovering from surgery and they had put me on prednisone. It makes you emotional! I wanted to make something and thought I would cut up my mom's gorgeous cotton shirt. I opened it up and it just looked like her to me! So petite and pretty! It made me cry- "seeing her again". Someday when I get to heaven is what I know!

[@airmom8716]

I made a quilt for our missionaries at church who are in Africa. They needed a queen and I decided to make 2 half sides and put them together and quilt on my home machine. Well, I photographed it and sent it off. The whole church had signed it! A year later- I looked at the picture again. I could not believe my eyes! There where I put the 2 halves together, I had put the wrong ends together and there was an obvious space ALL ACROSS the center where there should have been alternate blocks! I thought - "Well if I did not see it then probably they do not either!" It is the thought that counted here. I had a wonderful time making it too!

[@anotherblonde]

What a good idea! Bless you.

[@bierjip1]

Great for deaf people that you started subtitling your videos!👏👍

[@Buthyful]

I have also same secret smile-to-self on my face as Jenny did @15:23 , when I turn fabric and see perfect seams matched. No matter how many years I've quilted, it still makes me smile and feel happy :)

[@sewalways9331]

With all the anxiety the virus and elections have brought to many, I have felt it deeply and found it quite difficult to navigate the emotions. Your videos have taken my mind off the chaos and uncertainty if only for a short while. Focusing on the videos has relaxed me and distracted my mind to focus on a more positive outlet. Thank you for the tutorial which is superb. But mostly thank you for the positive energy it brings to me .

[@airmom8716]

Love this! Jenny you must have just had your coffee! You are talking so very fast today! Funny! Love you.

[@chrishaney1751]

Love this one, but I think I love the Bonus quilt even more!!!!!!! Thank you Jenny! Love your tutorials!!!!!

[@Sueetlinga]

I love to watch your tutorials. Please stay with this format. I don’t care for the live ones but I know that lots of people do. Beautiful quilt

[@sharlenesmith2455]

Jenny! Another winner (plus!). Love the inside out of sashing! What a difference it makes! Hope you are mending yourself! I cringe seeing the bruises & bandaids! (I bruise easily myself! Routinely, after any surgeries, I too look a sight! If needle or tape applied, bruise marks the spot!). Feel better!

[@patdahme4573]

I was thinking that it has been several weeks since the surgery and she is still bruised up. But then I realize, they probably film 4 months of videos in one week!

[@shellyboyle3185]

Both are so very pretty!!!

[@louradelaney8074]

This quilt is just so appealing! I’m still blown away about sewing a block then cutting it up 🤣

[@grandmalovesmebest]

Laura,😂😂😂. My brother used to say we girls were all nuts bc we cut up perfectly good fabric then sewed it back together again! Actually, when you put it like that . . .?

[@louradelaney8074]

GC Durnin true 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

[@MaineIndianfeathers]

Your tutorial videos are always inspiring. I love getting quilt magazines and books, but sometimes when I read the instructions I have moments where I am like "what?". Thank you for doing videos for the visual learners

[@aparecidapereira5675]

I´m brasilian and I like your videos a lot. Thank you for excelent explanation.I´ve learned very much.

[@janapecherek4158]

Lovely quilt. I will be using jelly rolls and charm packs. Seems easy

[@nitap77]

I changed my border from Cassandra to Elizabeth and instead of the Blue/Gray I'm using Bella Raspberry and Pink. A HUGE THANK YOU to the customer service lady that was helping me. I hate I didn't write down her name :( I was having trouble picking the accent colors online. Now I can't wait until it all gets here!!!!

[@sandratorres9635]

Wow! I am really taking a liking to the fresh new designs in the last few videos. I liked the sashing block and I really like the bonus star. Awesome!!

[@marilynnorton9739]

I LOVE it . . I saw this when I got home and didn't even read the rest of my email, or reply to my sister's buddy list, but had to watch this tutorial twice. Thank. you Jenny and your crew for all you do for the quilters world!

[@KayInMaine]

Gorgeous block! Gonna make it (quilt)! Thanks, Jenny.

[@jeanniepatrick5533]

They are both awesome quilts, but I'm drawn to the star version! It's great to get two quilts from one LC! Love it, thanks Jenny!

[@sarat8574]

Oh, me too...my eyes lit up when I saw the star :)

[@katherinebrooks8505]

same here! my mom and I are both going to make this quilt. She's doing the original and i'm doing the one with the star :) can't wait!

[@jeanniepatrick5533]

@@katherinebrooks8505 I'm making the star version too. It will be fun!

[@quiltygal6981]

So happy you showed the bonus quilt. My early morning brain was trying to work out why I liked the one you were holding but not as much up on the wall. I think the wall version would make a great male quilt done in all solids. But I'm very partial to a star block. Thankyou for adding to my to-do list 😁😁

[@kimmaynard338]

Okay ... love both ... but the star pattern is my favorite ... fun tutorial .. thanks Jenny

[@hannalieblignaut1209]

Loved it… and oh the 2 nd bonus is fantastic ❤🎉

[@nitap77]

My fabrics arrived today - I am so glad I listen to my customer service lady - The Raspberry and Pink are the perfect accompaniment to the Elizabeth. Can't wait to start on it!!

[@variegatedyarns]

Absolutely brilliant! It was like watching a magic trick. Disappearing blocks are always my favorite. Thank you!!

[@sheliaheverin8822]

Ohhhh, I really like the bonus quilt with the stars.

[@kathleenworkman5878]

Love this quilt idea. It's going to try it with purple and pink tones.... Thanks Jenny and everyone whom had a hand making this video..

[@mdmaud1]

Love this book. And Riley Blake

[@aliciaroot2201]

So pretty!! I love this pattern..

[@martirichards1424]

You are a genius! I just love how you make everything look so easy and doable. A huge MSQC fan! Thank you for all you do for quilters all over the world. You really make us feel connected. 🥰

[@MrChipathenIsMyDoggo]

Such a darling pattern. Thanks Jenny! I love the way this woman sews!!! Peddle to the metal baby! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@zorina831]

I love this. Can’t decide which I like better so I am making both. Amazing as always Jenny.

[@ginacostanzo1056]

Hello from Melbourne Australia. Love this block. I’ll keep busy while I’m in lockdown again!,,, thanks to you and your team. God bless. Hope your feeling better after your surgery.

[@bethkoch11]

So pretty. This reminds me a little of Jenny's Quatrefoil quilt from a few years ago. I made that one and it was a pleasure to make and turned out really beautiful. This one is similar in some ways, and I know it will be a lot of fun to make.

[@Sharon-pb7so]

I loved the quatrefoil quilt, I noticed the similarities. Jenny is so wonderful!

[@lindaking4054]

I loved seeing the fabric in a quilt. Nice

[@jeanneolson2703]

I keep coming back to this video/quilt. I couldn’t figure out which reason was my most favorite. But I loved this for many reasons. And then it came to me: it’s Jenny. She makes everything approachable and so much fun.

[@debbiethomas3517]

Such a beautiful and fun block! Can’t wait to try it

[@kquitberg4297]

Ingenious. You are making my brain busy with ideas.

[@connieferrell4432]

Oh my, how pretty. I live for Friday mornings and your quilt tutorial. Today I had to hunt for it but I persevered and I love it.

[@geetasingh1451]

Very nice gorgeous pattern so fortunate to have this quilt patterns thank you

[@Sharkina]

Beautiful!!! I cant wait to start one. Thanks so much Jenny!

[@mandamorris7934]

Oh my goodness! This is outstanding....not only this crazy fun twist on the 9 patch, but you had me at Jane Austen haha! Happy happy happy.... thanks to all of you for your work!

[@vickichandler5872]

Just remarkable! Such an unusual sashing... I'm loving it! Thank you for sharing these ideas. God bless you all at MSQC. Keeping you in my prayers. Always.

[@cynthiastark7258]

My first quilt was your first disappearing nine patch but you knocked it out of the park this time. It is beautiful.

[@nellsgirl]

what a GORGEOUS quilt!! 😃

[@rebeccamills4673]

This is a gorgeous quilt! Any seasonal fabric would look great using these blocks! The second quilt, with the stars would look very pretty using Christmas fabric. Another great pattern!!! Thank you!!!

[@joannmccraw7235]

The two different patterns from the same blocks and same fabric will work great ... got a set of twins that will love the idea of 'the same, but different'. Now to figure out how to make them the same size and if need be, how much more material needed. This came just in time for me! Thanks Jenny and crew!

[@beckyb8808]

That is the prettiest blue! Love be good twofer!

[@kimberlygwinnup4348]

Love this! Beautiful fabric choices Jenny!

[@sushmasingh1167]

So so sooo great quilt pattern so fortunate to have the gorgeos pattern

[@holiday-td6hx]

This is my absolute to "DIE FOR" day of the week. I love Jenny's tutorials.....She's amazing (and so are ALL of you that work behind the scenes to make MSQC what it is...THANK YOU!) I'm going to be HONEST here. At FIRST, I didn't like the quilt colors.....then the more she kept sewing, the more I liked it. I have some Kaffe Fassett Charm Packs called Lipstick and I am thinking about making the quilt out of this. (Love Kaffe Fassett!!) I'm trying to decide what colors to do the sashing in. I want to either purchase the fabric from MSQC or go get the fabric to cut the 2.5-inch strips from Jo-Ann's. Any time you can get TWO quilts for the price of ONE.....it's a great deal. Thanks so much for all the amazing videos, Jenny! ************************************************* BTW....can someone let me know what is wrong with Jenny's hand and arm?(I think this was mentioned a while back but can't remember???? It looks so painful!

[@szelop]

holiday 2406 Just my 2 cents but I wouldn’t mix JoAnn’s strip fabric with Kaffe’s. JoAnn’s strips are wonky sometimes & the quality is not equal to quilt shop quality fabric.

[@HRHDMKYT]

Jenny had some minor surgery to remove some moles. She told us she’s just fine, needs time to heal though.

[@jennykiser2627]

HRHDMKYT I was wondering, thanks for the info. I thought it looked like she had gotten burned badly. Glad to know she wasn’t. Love Jenny, have met her twice, very sweet lady.

[@heidicolville4961]

I love love love this block in either version. I think I may try this one myself

[@francesmock7350]

I love both designs!! You are so much fun to watch! Thanks for tutorials!!!

[@MelSchmidt7]

Thank you so much for sharing this with us....I absolutely love it!! Hope your hand and arm are ok!

[@thomasasseburg]

Thank you so much! Love listening to you! Hope you‘re fine - your hand looks as if it‘s hurt... God bless you!

[@lindadavis8082]

Ooh, a wonderful design! I have the perfect layer cake curing in my stash for this! Thanks again,Jenny 😍

[@cherylallen7330]

Looks good Jenny you and your family make quilting look so much fun to do tbank

[@airmom8716]

Jenny, so glad you did this tutorial! I bought my supplies today. One change I am making from the beginning is I am going to only cut 20 of my layer cake pieces and enough of the other pieces to make 20 blocks. That is hilarious that you had enough for 2 quilts! AND......you went ahead and made 2! If I want to make the other quilt I think I will make it with 2 altogether different colors of middle strips that will make the star. The star quilt is also pretty! I am using a dark flowery layer cake and a teal and light aqua strips and 4 patches.

[@saliesalie2840]

thank you for the tutorials, you are amazing....

[@joancash7424]

Great quilt.....makes me think of so many combinations from my stash!!! Long time admirer of Jenny and Company...I have made at least 15 of her quilt tutorials...keep them coming....we love you all. thank you again for all you do.
