Make a Herringbone Quilt with Jenny Doan of Missouri Star! (Video Tutorial)

[@greenpaperlantern]

I just want to say thank you to Jenny and MSQC for these excellent tutorials. I'm a newer quilter and following her tips and directions have given me confidence to tackle my first quilts (the jelly roll race was the first!) and now my skills keep growing enough to attempt this one as well. It makes it so easy to buy my supplies and watch the tutorials all from one great shop!

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Thank you so much for your kind words, Maria! And thank you for tuning in! :) We can't wait to see what you create!

[@barbaraghylin1594]

I really like your tutorials. Everything is very clear. I also like to print the pdf when they are available. September 2021 I gave this finished quilt to my mother-in-law this past spring as late Christmas (COVID-19 prevented getting together at Christmas). She loved it and took it with her she downsized her house. Thank you for making everything so very clear.

[@NancyForbes-n1l]

I have really enjoyed watching MSQC tutorials You make the patterns and process look soooooo easy and then change it with the flip of the wrist I love it! Have a bunch of your patterns in my wish list plus many that I have already purchased! Years ago I worked at Piece Goods Shop. Remember one big sale day! All of these sweet little old ladies would come in, get their shopping carts and here they went searching for their fabric treasures! By time they got to the cutting table, you could NOT see them because of the stack of bolts of fabrics in their carts! They would then politely say "one quarter yard of each please"! Well I vowed that I would never quilt !Guess what! I was wrong. Have no idea how many tops I have started and still unfinished! Nor how many I have finished, Nor how many I have ready to be quilted, some with backing and some without backing and no idea how many I have finished and given away. I even bought an 8 x 12 storage shed just for UFP, finished projects .tools, patterns, supplies and fabric!!!! What else can I say---I'm Hooked!

[@barbarajohnson1572]

Listen to Jenny.... ALWAYS have a block made for a visual...LOL THIS is the quilt i've been waiting to see her do.... love the Modern Vibe and boy do i have layer cakes to use up!!!!!!!!! Thanks so much Jenny, for always having what i need to inspire me..:)))) GB

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Barbara Johnson visuals truly make the process so much easier! Do you know what colors you are going to use? We would love to see a photo when you finish! :)

[@dianagrey5585]

I just finished making the herringbone quilt, So fast and easy. It's beautiful.

[@cindityburski8531]

Thanks Jenny! Yet another quilt on the to do list. I have to tell you my little blonde cockier loves to watch your videos too. We take a rest and he cuddles up and puts his paws on the laptop like "hurry up let's watch Jenny." Sometimes he hears your voice and comes running. So cute. Your are certainly loved.

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Cindi Tyburski that is adorable! I'm so glad you both have that routine! Thanks for watching! :)

[@rebeccajensen8076]

Have been watching all your tutorials over the years and love to re-watch them. Thanks for the awesome tutorials and for bringing happy sewing to my world. One year I won a Blue ribbon at our State Fair for my charm tote! During the pandemic I used scraps from face masks to create a beautiful "Tiny Houses" quilt. Love you, MSQC!

[@ladyd54]

I love it, and I love how you break down the design so it is easy to create. Thank you Jenny!

[@AmyFrye]

I'm making this quilt for my daughter using Cotton & Steel Basic's fabric. I cannot wait to have it finished. I think this quilt will be a fantastic way to show off this beautiful fabric line.

[@roycelenamond7229]

Again....an absolute homerun! Jenny, you can't imagine how much you inspire me. I watched this one a couple of times to make sure I had it down. This is definitely my next project. Thank you so much for sharing your talent with all of us. Quilting is definitely growing in popularity because of you. Keep 'em coming, I can't get enough.

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Royce Lenamond we are so glad you love Jenny, the tutorials and quilting! It wouldn't all be possible without our awesome fans like you! Happy quilting! :)

[@GeorgiaGranJan]

I LOVE this one and I love the way you assembled it - we think alike which tickles me so much. I'm going to make this for a young friend getting married this October. Thank you again sweet Jenny Doan!!!

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

GeorgiaGranJan I like to think it's a great way of thinking! :) That will make such a cute gift!!

[@rachaelgardner52]

I can't wait to make this quilt. Thank you, Jenny, Love ALL of your tutorials. When I picked up sewing several years back, I went online and found you and the Missouri Quilt Co.! You taught me how to make a quilt. Love your passion about sewing.

[@jodiradelet6131]

isn't jenny the best? she also inspired me to start quilting.....i love her easy to follow instructions and very useful tips!!!

[@carolsmith8375]

I love all of the tutorials, but this one shows such an easy way to make hsts and is a good way to use up fat quarters and larger pieces of extra fabric. Every tutorial I watch teaches me a new tip or inspires me to try some new patterns. Thank you for sharing with us. Love your site and your daily specials!

[@sharyn452]

I got one of those irons from my mum and dad for christmas and I love it

[@cindyhappel7376]

Love this pattern Jenny. In fact, just saw it in a quilt shop and took a picture so I could try to replicate. Thanks for this awesome tutorial!!

[@klikes99]

This is the most forgiving HST to sew. I LOVE it. Because its on the bias, I can get my points to match up easily. I did this with my pinwheel quilt from your instructions and that quilt turned out beautiful. Everyone thought I was a pro! LOL

[@conrenberger]

I'm very much a beginner and you help me sew like a pro!!

[@kathyyoung9190]

Love the herringbone quilt...I like the variety of fabrics and the geometric visual it makes!

[@karenrichbeiriger9969]

I love to watch you show us how to do all these beautiful quilt toppers...wish you would show the second part on some of them that includes the finishing so we can see some of your bindings etc. Thanks, they are all so lovely. It's addicting!!

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Karen & Rich Beiriger I'm so glad you enjoy them! We will keep that in mind for future, thanks! :)

[@sandytremblay7793]

I just love this quilt,jenny is wonderfully quick and easy.Thank you Jenny.

[@joycedobush2465]

love this quilt! I made one for a birthday gift with a scrappy border and it came out great-the birthday girl loved it too! Thanks Jenny.

[@jennym007]

Excellent tutorial Jenny! You get everything to make sense with your clear easy-to-follow instructions. I’m going to make my daughter a quilt using this pattern. 💖💕

[@brigittetillman3398]

Just finished my first Herringbone Quilt. Thanks for the Tutorial.

[@cosmocat12]

Beautiful colours in this quilt. This pattern would be great to for stash busting also. It would look great in scrappy blues with neutral, or greens plus neutral. Another " must do" pattern. Thanks Jenny.

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Tracey T That is so true! I love that color combo! So glad you liked the tutorial! :)

Looking forward to doing this as a baby quilt for my pending arrival. Planning for the color segments to be scrappy in order to use up some scraps from big sisters quilt!!

[@gayatribankeshwar618]

thankyou so much Jenny,each one of ur tutorial is superb.

[@1of2shoes]

Great idea to have the squares cut ahead of time. I love that you have them in containers.

[@pattibee8534]

Thanks Ginnny for ypur dedication and teaching expertice. Love your tuts. Please continue. Great service and selection of fabrics.

[@jostovall5491]

Love the Herringbone Quilt ~ thank you Jenny Doan!

[@k.quilter2735]

Your techniques are amazing, the fabric lines are so nice and functional. Thank you for sharing.

[@melanievarela4048]

Making it easy for us again Jenny. Very pretty layer cake. Makes a nice big block. Those angles get the best of me too. It's like that jigsaw puzzle piece that you just KNOW fits in a certain spot. (I could take care of that with some scissors and glue) . Thanks for another excellent quilt tutorial Jenny. I always look forward to seeing them.

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Melanie Varela A jigsaw is exactly what it's like! We are so glad you enjoyed the tutorial! Happy quilting! :)

[@sharonozog7482]

I love watching your tutorials. Easy and fun!

[@jackywilliams8554]

Just watched some of your tutorials and they make quilting so much easier!

[@nongmoworm1267]

You were so very helpful and made this super easy to follow! I’m so excited to try this as my first quilt

[@jeanninehamilton4209]

I absolutely love the way this quilt comes together!

[@cherylcordova3077]

Just came across this video. The fabric is beautiful. I think I’ll give it a go real soon! Thanks Jenny!

[@jenniferlitwin6825]

So many ideas. This has got to be my favorite so far. Guess I need to be ordering some layer cakes and get sewing. Thank you for making this all look so easy.

[@kristinaleid2871]

This is so cute & classic! Looks like a beginner (like myself) could pull this off!

[@christinaannettedixon4429]

I love this quilt it has such beautiful colours

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Christina Annette Dixon thank you so much! We're glad you liked this one!

[@patriciadoyle4202]

Great Quilt. Easy and fast, but looks fantastic. Have done for comfort quilt, wedding gift, and as demo for my quilt guild. Looks wonderful in batiks!

[@judyhenry3011]

I love this quilt and after watching today went out and bought the material for a navy blue and white that my daughter-in-law requested. I love all your tutorials! I take in all of them and I also have your books and you always have such good easy ways of doing them.....Just finished the one seam flying geese quilt of your today! Love the way it went together. One thing I would like is the amount of backing these take.

[@terrycullan372]

Great quilt! I like the way the strip sets are cut!

[@DS-ky9dl]

That is not how I thought it was done...your way was so easy. Thanks

[@patriciabeltran2847]

As usual a great idea and beautiful colors. I am your fan. Thanks Jenny.

[@joanviveiros9672]

I love watching your tutorials. I've learned so much. I do a few small projects and can always find directions to use. Thanks you

[@marienicol6132]

Amazing tutorial! This quilt is high impact, and chevron is it right now! Thanks for sharing such great information!

[@RuleNr34]

Thank you for the video! I made it (my first quilt ever) and I love it! I liked that it is easy to make it look really precise.

[@wilycat5290]

So simple, yet stunning. Thank you for the video 😊 👍 💕

[@sandygrogg1203]

Really, really pretty..... I love it.... I can see a scrappy look, using charms... Even a cute baby quilt... Thanks fir another great pattern...

[@karlabergwalker3332]

Wonderful tutorial! This looks like a great quilt for a beginner, but it does not look like a beginning quilt. This would be lovely in 30's fabrics or baby fabrics. Thank you!!!

[@tagteam4]

Beautiful quilt. You always make them look so easy!!

[@sherrylynnsellers6169]

Jenny you make it look so easy!

[@franmineo9691]

Great quilt - thanks for the tutorial, Jenny!!

[@maregir]

Jenny,y love you.Beautiful!!.Thanks Jenny

[@theresaknapp6766]

I love this pattern!!! Thanks so much for the tutorial. I made my mom one for this Mothers Day. I ended up using 8" squares because I got a ton of fat quarters on sale and with 8" squares I could get 4 / piece. Still worked up nicely :)

[@zacwells346]

i used this design to make my first quilt and it came out great!!

[@Aural.Illusions]

Just got my Missouri Star Daily Deal fabric in the mail; I'll be making this quilt, I think! 😁

[@cslheawood]

Jenny you never fail to inspire! Love love love this, you make it look effortless. In fact I think I'm going to do this pattern...it's fab😃

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

claire heawood we are so glad this tutorial has inspired you! Thank you so much for your love and support, you're too kind! :)

[@nancyteno6335]

I have done this quilt along time ago but would like to do it again.

[@maryhickey36]

So much fun to watch and make!

[@mistypotter5948]

This quilt is beautiful. Its on my list to do.

[@juliemorrison4348]

Very pretty quilt. Clever piecing. Had a close look when you mentioned HSTs. Couldn't see them hiding there. An other one for the to-do list.👍🇦🇺

[@daniellegrazianistone4632]

You make everything so easy!

[@MPNtx47]

Just what I was looking for. Thanks.

[@lynnmorice-sams3304]

love your tutorials. you make it all look easy. thank you so much!!

[@MrsKateT]

Brilliant way of doing this! Thank you

[@sharonaerneckeaitchison4500]

I would like to teach this to my beginner students, using charms packs ... I think it would make a nice lap / sofa quilt .. might add a 2nd border. Lovely quilt.

[@5555GranD]

I wanted to use the yellow and grey in a quilt with a message about "sunshine and rain" kind of story. The only issue is, the "ups and downs" in a mountain/valley quilt makes the chevron ideal, but I'm so "done" with that. The Herringbone is the answer!!!Thanks sew much!

[@kathleenwolfe813]

Beautiful quilt very easy pattern

[@JosiScholes]

you guys make it seam so easy! and i love this quilt! definitely going to try to make it:)

[@mmiddleton8807]

Jenny, love the colours. That quilt looks so fresh. And you make it look so easy. Thanks a lot😊

[@emman1927]

Thank you! This is a beautiful quilt.

[@janinenankervis3290]

Lovely and so versatile.

[@elwalyalami3490]

u are amazing easy to understand yr tutorials thanks a lot for yr help and yr ideas

[@heatherhayllar3000]

It's so good for us plebs that you and yours are there for new ways of cutting or sewing, you make it so easy for us!! Love the colours and the "block"

[@gittuska77]

Thank you Jenny. Always eagerly awaiting Friday!!! I wonder how it would look if Im to use a charm pack and not a layer cake. Hmmm.

[@ladyd54]

You could also use the mini charms as well.

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Brigitta Nagy Using charm packs would make an adorable quilt as well! You'll have to share a photo with us if you try it out! :)

[@pamelasmall7496]

I adore this! Beautiful!

[@bernadinewahalathanthrige9774]

Thank you Jenny.

[@patriciaroush1686]

I love how easy you make these quilts to do. I'd love to try this in a twin size. How many layercakes would I need to do it?

[@-sstevens5444]

I can do THIS one. . On my way to the quilt shop for material.

[@leleartesanato]

oi , jenny adorei esta tecnica .obrigado.

[@AndysandPennysmom]

wish I could print the instructions

[@tiffanyalthoff533]

If I wanted to make this pattern, but as a baby quilt how many 10 inch squares would I use? Or would it be better to use a charm pack?

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Either way would work! If you use a layer cake, you would only need half of it :)

[@1bcsurvivor]

With this quilt you can make a - braid quilt with as they call chimney stones or a 2 1/2 piece in the center or for a different look try a twisted ribbon quilt - a bright, a pastel then a background fabric in rows up and down which would be really fantastic try it.

[@collettewilson5768]

hello, love your videos ---as i was watching you machine stitch this quilt i couldn't help singing a little ditty to my self in tune to ''she'll be coming round the mountain when she comes'' ---my version: ''Ahem'' ---"she'll be sewing down the sides when she sews, she'll be sewing down the sides when she sews, oh, she'll be sewing down the sides, straight as an arrow, she'll be sewing down the sides when she sews ---coco from WA--- :)

[@SuzetteG316]

I love this quilt and it will be my next project!! I do have a question though about the binding you used. You mention in the tut that you took all of your little pieces to make a scrappy binding. But it seems to me that there would be no little pieces based on how you use the LC to put the blocks together. Could you elaborate please on how you achieved this? :)

[@frippetforce]

+SuzetteG316 I was wondering about that too? She said there was no scraps with this pattern so I couldn't figure out where the binding came from???

[@hawasattar2241]

Heavens I want to attempt this quilt. Also not sure where the binding connects.

[@ktmint8495]

This would be beautiful with bright batiks and dark solids.

[@immkai]

Hello! First off I would like to say thank you for not only making this tutorial but making it so easy to understand. I am having a slight problem with the blocks being slightly offset when I sew them together. The herringbone is not lining up, have you ever had this problem? How should I fix it without offsetting my entire block?

[@donnabailey947]

That’s a neat way to do it.

[@donnanelson9181]

It looks to me that you can sew them all in the same direction and then turn half of them upside down. And you can do this bc each one has a white triangle on both ends.

[@kellyer21]

That's what I was thinking. That way you can just make the blocks quickly and all the same. What is she considering "one block"? Is it two half square blocks that make one diamond shape?

[@valhaggstrom8898]

@@kellyer21 km

[@sarahbean8719]

Thank you for the beautiful tutorial! I can't wait to get started. What are the final dimensions of the quilt and how many 10" pack should I start with? Thank you!

[@frippetforce]

+Sarah Bean 0.33 mark has the supply list and dimensions

[@MrsWorleybird]

New quilter here and I've been searching for a Herringbone Quilt pattern. Thanks SOOOO much for sharing this one - I think I can tackle it. What size quilt does this make. If I want a queen size, will I need additional material?

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Sharon Worley this quilt is 72"x84", a queen size quilt is approximately 84"x92" but varies on your preference. Below is link of how many precuts it takes to make various sizes of quilts. You will need some additional material if you do make the bigger size. :) blog.missouriquiltco.com/precuts-what-can-they-make/

[@MrsWorleybird]

Thanks!

[@ivyroy2896]

Beautiful

[@eileenvbable]

Thank you, Jenny! I love the look of this quilt! I'm definitely making this one. I was wondering (or maybe I missed it): what the finished size is, and how much backing material is needed?

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

eileenvbable thanks so much! This quilt is 72"x84". Here's a link to determine the backing needed: blog.missouriquiltco.com/how-many-yards-do-i-need-backing/

[@JackieDannenberg]

I was thinking it might be neat not to stager them and keep like colored fabrics together and the accent fabric - in your case white - together. Also, interesting how you use different sewing machines and put them on both sides of your work area in different videos. I recently bought a Babylock Crescendo and the Koala cabinet (quilting version - I went the full nine yards on it - didn’t hold back on any part of it moneywise Laugh Out Loud ) and I was thinking I saw you using the Koala cabinet with a machine once. I would think it would be easiest for you to have that in your videoing studio permanently and was wondering why you don’t. I learn a WHOLE bunch from you and thank you for all the time you put into your passion. It’s obviously a labor of love ! Thanks again from Alabama staying away from the Coronavirus I pray and hope. Please stay healthy to you, your family, your employees and friends.

[@Trusty1957]

Will make this for my sister

[@shannonfoster5509]

Do you suppose this would work with a charm pack for a smaller herringbone? Thanks!

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Shannon Foster that would definitely work, it would just make the herringbone smaller and more intricate looking. It's a great way to alter the pattern a little to get a slightly different look! :)

[@ashleyoliver4912]

Help! If I were to use yardage to do this for a queen or oversized king, how much yardage will I need!?

[@hebrewsch10]

You. are. a. genius.

[@flisner]

This is wonderful! How do you suppose I could alter it to make a crib-size quilt? Dumb question, I know, but I'm new at this.
