Make a "Pinwheel Frolic" Quilt + Pillowcase with Jenny Doan of Missouri Star (Video Tutorial)

[@lesliefoster-michaud8418]

I love making these pillow cases. I do French seam them because I don't like the raveling. Lovely little quilt I love it! Jenny is the bomb!

[@patriciaovercash6988]

thank you for this tutorial and all of the others you have done! I am 73 and just started quilting 1 year ago (a bucket list item) I love it! my sewing machine is 42 years old so the actuql quilting is a challenge again thank you for all you are doing for the quilting world

[@AnitaSouthall]

Never too late for new skills 👏😊🌺🇦🇺😘 I am 57 and wish I'd started 30 years ago.

[@patriciaovercash6988]

me too! @@AnitaSouthall

[@lauriedutcher5676]

Such a cute quilt. Now I know how I will use my packs of five inch squares!

[@AnitaSouthall]

And as precuts are in short supply in my town, also can cut up 10 inch layer cakes to get similar results

11pm time for bed...ooh! Brand new video, who needs sleep anyway?!?

My thought exactly!😂🤣😂

Midnight at my place 🙈

I watched at 3:00 am after sewing in my sewing room for several hours. Thank you, Jenny!

[@jhgaskill]

You look great. It is always fun to watch your tutorials. I just realized that you look much thinner, beautiful.

[@jankalonick4771]

I agree Lisa Ann! Who needs sleep! Every Thursday night I am up late so that I can catch the new video!! My husband just laughs and says, "See you in the morning! I just love all the videos and the MSQC family. Trying to work out a trip to visit sometime in May!!! Can not wait!!

[@michaelbergstrom2721]

One of the cutest blocks. I'm grateful you teach that every brain works/thinks different. That has helped so much. Thanks for simplifying things. Luv your videos from Carolyn not Mike

[@janesprague1]

I love ideas for using my charm packs. When I first started my quilting journey about five years ago, I bought scads of charm packs, but quickly graduated into strips, fat quarters, and yardage. Needless to say (but I will anyway!), I have a lot of charm packs that need a project - and now they do! Thank you so much, Jenny! As always, you've shared another adorable project!

[@renatal1972]

I love making pillow cases this way. I was teaching children at Joanns for 5 years and this is how I taught them.

[@marty2385]

I enjoyed having the kids make pillowcases during summer camp! Because there were many kids, I reserved this project for Grade 4 and up. The older kids really like a project that is "more advanced" than what the younger kids. are doing.

[@KarenGreene51]

I wish I liked pinwheels. Your quilt colors are happy spring colors. Bless you and your family and of course the MSQC crew.

[@LTimmons84780]

Wow! You are looking good. Svelte! And the quilt is pretty, too!

[@zerozero9085]

And the Frolic Quilt layout makes little multi-directional arrows, too! So pretty and your directions are so well done. Thank you!

[@karenpettinger6592]

I made my grandchildren some snowman pillowcases like that in early December, and they are still using them. It’s nice when someone appreciates your work, but I was just thinking that this granny needs to make some for spring and summer! I think it is worth taking the extra few minutes, though, to do a French seam to make it neat and today and to prevent fraying.

[@lindab2144]

Jenny, I stitched my flange onto the right side of the body of the pillow case 1st with an 1/8" seam. I also made mine with the French seam. My grandkids love these in flannel. We live in cold country so the flannel is cozy & warm.

[@KathleenDempster]

Love this lovely bright quilt. I am going to try it as a quilt as you go. Thanks Jenny😊

[@carenfitzpatrick7197]

Loved the pillowcase method!!! Most amazing one that I have ever seen!

[@ellenthompson4441]

I like the way you laid out all the tools and fabric first; also showing a finished block in the beginning is a big help.

[@ccomtaruk3289]

I thought the same thing. Nice addition to the video

[@janetteaguirre-terry2986]

Jenny!! Don’t ever change the beginning of your vids. When I heard that piano I get all excited!! LOL. Love your vids. Hope you n fam are well. Hugs!

When I look at this quilt it would be beautiful in a child’s bedroom. It so happy , Beth from Duluth , Mn.

[@angiesewtherapy6628]

Jenny you looked so pretty today. Thank you for the pattern. I love it. I want sure about block A and B being opposite in the sashing until you showed the layout and then "bang" it made sense.

[@anitakinnear6447]

Hello from Herefordshire in England, Enjoying all your tutorials thank you Jenny, keeping us all going in these times I can’t wait to come and visit MSQC in Hamilton , love to you all!

You did it again Jenny awesome pillowcase and beautiful quilt colors of choice are awesome as well thanks for sharing❣️🧵✂️🥰❤️💕

[@debrarevay7493]

Love this quilt and I'm so glad you showed us how to make the pillowcase. I will make it bigger by using a layer cake and cutting it in fourths and make two pillowcases for my granddaughter. Love those fabrics.

[@memere4137]

You really are a wonderful teacher and fun to listen to. Thank you from Innisfil, Ontario Canada 🇨🇦.

Such a great idea!! I have 2 red white and blue jelly rolls and and some patriotic yardage. Been trying to figure out the perfect pattern for them. THANKYOU!! Reminds me of childhood, we always had pinwheels to blow on and play with along with our flags on patriotic holidays. 💖💜👍

[@karenclarke1307]

Jenny you are a genius...... I tried this and it worked perfectly....thanks for sharing...

[@NannaLiz]

Thank you SO much for bringing the green fabric requirements screen back! I also like the way you have laid out the tools and fabrics before you start sewing. It's like making an outline before you write a story. I love the quilt and I think I'm going to use extra charms to make it a rectangle. This quilt would look really cute, too, just using block A repeated across the rows to make the quilt look like it has propellers or windmills. Sweet!

[@Cherjer113]

Love this one! Who am I kidding..I love them all

[@paulamcdowell8993]

I showed my roommates how to make this easy pillowcase when I was at a retreat at MSQC in November 2017!! One of the best vacations of my life!!!❤️❤️❤️

[@44smpratt]

This pattern is amazing. I think I'll try a few for my grandchildren. Thanks, Jenny!

[@Jalyced22]

The colors and pattern are so adorable for a light quilt. Intended for the spring and ‘in-cold’ months. Happy sewing!

[@rebeccamills4673]

Love the quilt and pillowcase! The fabric is so cute. I have made several pillowcases for my grandkids, using the "burrito method" and French seams. They turned out very cute. Thanks for another great tutorial!

[@eshellebennett]

Thank you for adding the info about the backing. This is one of the “quilting mysteries” for me-piece the backing or search for a wide backing that will work!

Fabulous tutorial! I think this colorway was so fun and happy. The format was exeptional, too. Jenny, you and your team have become excellent at producing your tutorials. Thank you for sharing your expertise and smile with us. Like, Hadley Wooten had commented earlier, I can see it in the red pinwheel with blue blocks... I really do love red, white, and blue quilts. They just tug at my heart... kinda patriotic that way. Blessings to all ya'll.

[@daisy8297]

Absolutely, please continue to do this!

[@tigerseye99p]

I have always known this method as the burrito pillow case...love them

[@ruthhilsdorf3210]

That’s what I’ve known them as too. I prefer to do the French seam just because there are no raw edges anywhere. It’s just 1 little extra step but does make a better finish.

[@AnitaSouthall]

I was thinking it looks like sewing a sausage

[@JesusisKing222]

I have never seen this technique before! Amazing that it worked! 😂

Gorgeous fabric range, the more I look at it the more I like it. Very pretty quilt and great tutorial thanks.

[@juliemorrison4348]

Another great quilt and pillowcase. Very pretty👍🇦🇺

[@debb2506]

I love this quilt pattern I make pillowcases too. I base all the top raw edges together before I roll it up. Makes it easier to catch all the layers when doing the top seam. I like the french seams method to finish the side and bottom seams. No raw edges ! Your videos are the best. Thanks

[@shellyboyle3185]

Thanks for being real Jenny! And keeping it simple for the newbies! I once was there and have learned so much even being a experienced piecer and quilter. Love how you presented the items needed in the beginning! Please add the amounts though. I am bad about doing a screen shot so I can quickly refer back. Love the quilt! Going to be a great project to make and donate to kids in need!

[@debbielee7117]

If you click the shop supplies link, you get a more succinct listing of fabric requirements for the quilt.

[@andreamaclachlan980]

I've been 'collecting' quilting books from a second hand book shop lately, and that block, particularly the one that has a white centre, is in one of the books. The pattern is called 'propeller'. I was thinking of doing it for a new grandson. Love how you've done it, and with the slightly alternating block.

[@karenraabis5296]

That fabric is so happy!

[@lilacenterfitt3879]

I like the idea of gifting a quilt inside a pillow case. Thanks!

[@Minorka00]

Oh. My favorite color palette

[@wendywestre7281]

I use decorative stitching across the flange to hold it down... this helps keep the case looking nice after washing! And I also use French seams! No fraying!!!

[@peggyreinhold886]

That's exactly what I thought, to use a French seam 👍

[@penny9157]

Oh I like the decorative seam across the flange , great idea !

[@wendywestre7281]

@@penny9157 I let my grandkids choose which decorative stitch they want, and we work together to complete the project.... it's fun!

[@barbaraoaker972]

That’s such a good idea! I always Press my cases after they are washed to flatten the flange.

[@HRHDMKYT]

I agree with French seams. I also sew down the flange with a straight stitch almost kissing the edge: it looks so professional, and stays flat so you don’t need to iron the pillowcases- just fold right out of the dryer. Nice and smooth.

[@maureenabramson4224]

[@jhwilliams6550]

Check an older tutorial, she’s done one before but I don’t remember if she used a French seam. It is just putting the body of the case wrong sides together first and sewing a scant quarter inch seam then turning it out with right sides together like she showed and sewing a 3/8 inch seam. Turn it back out, press and you are finished. The first time I sewed one it really seemed weird to put the wrong sides together first! I’ve taught 4-H groups and the Moms or Grandmothers give me really weird looks too if they’ve never made one but then when they turn them out when it’s sewn the last time they really like the enclosed seam.
