Make a "Pop Stars" Quilt with Jenny Doan of Missouri Star (Video Tutorial)

Jenny demonstrates how to make a beautiful Pop Stars quilt using 10 inch squares of precut fabric (layer cakes). For this project Jenny chose "A Little Bit of Sparkle" 10" Stackers by Zoe Pearn for Riley Blake Designs. This pretty star quilt comes together quickly, and as you trim your blocks, the scrap pieces can be used to make a beautiful triangle border!

Every MORNING on the way to work I listen to you guys are doing your triple play or just a regular video. It is amazing how much it calms down and my 40 minute drive to work.

[@arabellachampaq689]

I love your comfort with living dangerously. Thank you

[@bettytullis461]

"I'm just living dangerously... " Jenny I love your tutorials and your humor! I have learned so much from your videos. Thank you and your team for all the hard work! And this quilt is stunning. I especially like the triangle border.

[@privateinfo1711]

This is a great quilt. It works great using the layer cakes. Personally, I'd have trouble sewing such small stars. Those of you with experience would do great.

[@pamwalton6992]

Jenny uses a mini charm pack. This contains 84- 2 1/2 inch squares. Perfect for this project!

[@terryharrington9813]

Just got done making this quilt, it turned out beautifully, not sure it would be good for beginners though. They were a lot of seams to match, when putting the quilt together. I’ve been sewing for 55 yrs not a problem but could be for someone who is just starting out. All in all a very beautiful pattern from Jenny and MSQC. Thank you.

[@marilynnorton9739]

Just found out grandkids can't come this weekend, SO am going to make your new quilt instead! THNX for the no-waste pattern . . mn

[@gammaem627]

Whatta beauty! I love the sub cutting of precuts so I don't have as much error. Oh wait, tat should be so much time cutting! We NEVER make errors as quilters! Lol

[@sandrathwaites7289]

I usually like your quilt patterns, but this one I absolutely love. I love that when you "snowball" the corners, you are able to use part of it in the border. I must confess, every time I see you snowball corners and discard the cut off triangle portions, I always cringe, and I love that this time you are able to use them as part of the border, and they really work with the design of the quilt. I also love the use of black in most of the stars,and then using the white on the darker blocks really adds such an element of interest that makes the whole quilt sing. Just really really clever.

[@leahjerrydalager5451]

Jenny I LOVE this quilt! So cute for a little girl! It will be something she can take with her through her life! Thank you for this cute and sassy little design!

[@cindymcfarland4686]

I save my leftover HSTs and square them to 1.5 inches for a future project. Half a shoe box full now! I love how the design of this block allows for not losing the star point tips. Thanks!

[@marybethspencer1119]

Thank you Jenny, always so much fun to watch you work/play! This is a sweet pattern, that looks like it would be good for showcasing fabrics you want to see a lot of. this one goes on my list!

[@marybethspencer1119]

Going against the rules is sometimes the most fun there is! Love using all the tiny "scraps".

[@teripranger2824]

Love this. My daughter in law asked me to make some quilts for her family from material her grandmother had collected. I think this patteren will be perfect.

[@lensdiva]

I took an inspiration pic of this quilt hanging in the shops on my visit to Hamilton. So happy to have found the video tutorial!!

[@madelinesmemaw]

That border makes the quilt really special!

[@corkyking0301]

I made this crib quilt for my 4th Great-Grandchild - a little girl. Also made a bunch of bibs from the leftovers. I just made it with fewer blocks - 3 across and 4 down. My "pop" stars ended up in the upper left and lower right corners, and balanced out nicely. I used flange binding, and added some embroidered cotton trim. I think it came out just fine! It was easy to do, and I enjoyed the process.

[@wendycarter7620]

I love the way the stars with black background pop!

[@SuperBettyboop23]

Wow Jenny you really outdo yourself every time with a new quilt awesome awesome quilt and love the colors thanks for sharing❣️❤️🥰🧵✂️

[@gailjernigan2482]

Much better explanation! Thank you for “listening” to your viewers’ constructive suggestions. I love the quilt pattern and hope to make it soon. The stars are awesome! And the border really sets the quilt off. have to finish my UFOS first.😊 Jenny, you amaze me by developing a new quilt pattern every week!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Tbirdcarr1]

Love how a layer cake is utilized this way, and the black is stunning

[@danbev8542]

Beautiful quilt! The black & white is perfect the way you did it! Love the way you used the scraps for the border!

[@melniee2551]

Gorgeous fabric and adorable quilt!

[@lisastreasures]

Newbie here. I came to look at this quilt because you recommended it for use with the "show me the honey" squares. Wish me luck and prayers, please. Thank you for wonderful and thorough explanations. 🐝

[@karla-rk2jr]

Cool! This quilt is so unique and absolutely gorgeous.

[@Kitchensurprise]

Love the entire quilt...the colors are fabulous!

[@rebeccamills4673]

This is a stunning quilt! It just amazes me how your team at MSQC comes up with all the different patterns! You have a very talented creative team! Thank you all for helping us through this time in history!

[@sandi_SatinDoll]

Love you Jenny and “no rules”. Quilts are hugs right?!😂

[@ce9960]

Can’t wait to make this in Christmas fabrics!

[@StitchingWithTheSisterlies]

Love this idea…and you are adorable❤️

[@deecook8230]

I love every tutorial and look forward to every Friday! Wish I could produce faster. Will definitely keep this one in mind. Think it would also make a cute baby quilt! Thanks so much for these tutorials and inspiration.

[@thecheshirecrafter4522]

Great idea for the border. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@angelah.2291]

Great you added the extra footage! Thank you.

[@cindyhappel7376]

Loved this tutorial!!! I think if smaller it would make a great and quick baby quilt too! Thanks Jenny!!!

[@ween659]

Love the border!!

[@lisareed5669]

Love the border pattern!

[@andreawalker2535]

Such a sweet new pattern!

[@heatherclements2680]

Sewing smarter, not harder! That's not cheating!

[@VMCCompany]

I love this and I love "no waste"! Makes my OCD happy!

[@buzzyanderson4131]

Beautiful

[@erlinepruitt3626]

I love this...so pretty!!!

[@holdmyyarn]

Cute quilt. I’ve been making those stars for a 6 in block💚

[@valleygirlknits]

This quilt is stunning. I love your tutorials, Jenny! :)

[@tishfish01]

You're a true rebel!! Beautiful quilt!

[@janhedges9890]

Very good tutorial again! Super clever ideas too! MSQC is the best!

[@cindyweeks2921]

Would be a cute table runner with two rows, the sashing and the points!

[@koerberj]

What a fun! Thanks!😁

[@heathermann4240]

Fantastic pattern!

[@dimplesforlife.]

This one is much better. Thanks Jenny :)

[@jenniesharp4476]

Really like this one...I just may have to start yet another project.

[@barbaratruesdale4400]

Looks a lot easier than some methods!

[@roseannecarratkinson4271]

I have a huge tub of all my little extra's. One day they will find themselves in a huge quilt. Thanks for this tutorial. This is really a cute quilt!

[@lesliefoster-michaud8418]

Getting ready to tackle this pattern. I'm using blues.

[@OpheliaChang]

Way to break the rules, Jenny! I love how you did that with those little triangles. LOVE!

[@PaulaNoakes]

Thanks so much! Saw you "on the road" in Coeur d'Alene last November. Loved the show and seeing everyone in person! I love this quilt but I have SO MANY projects in my queue right now that I'll need to wait until I've cleared some room. It's beautiful, though!

[@Minorka00]

Ugh! I wish I would have watched this last week. When I made a hundred FG🤨. Thanks for the great idea. I will be doing this!

[@annecreekmore746]

If you made pillowcases, those triangles would look great on them.

[@jeannereinisch114]

Oh my goodness….I watched this a few days ago, but neglected to write down the name! I’ve looked through all Jenny’s tuts for 2 days with no luck in finding this! This evening I found the print out of the cutting diagram and wah-la I can start piecing when my 2.5 x 2.5 squares show up. FedEx, where is my order? 🤔 Yahooooooo🥳🎉

[@LisaLisa-zl9vu]

love

[@drudewitt]

Oh, Jenny! I just want to be your friend. :) Beautiful quilt!

[@gammato3]

Thanks

[@pamelabarnes3409]

I LOVE the low contrast of the white legs or perhaps a camel beige.

[@rosettaciliberto7453]

Hi jenni thank You all the beautiful quilts you do; what size are those star legs: is it 2inch squares

[@reneegalloway1098]

Inalsways save my leftover triangles! I have a gallon ziploc with sewn HST from one project!

[@heatherreid9492]

what size are the small black squares you use? i keep rewinding it but somehow miss it every time! Thanks for your videos, they are so useful.

[@arabellachampaq689]

Those are 2.5” precuts

[@bonnief8448]

Jenny stay safe and don't lick your fingers! Save your small cuts for Halloween quilts.

[@ronniudoff]

I love this star technique with layer cakes! I have some prints in my pack that are directional though, so I wonder if I cut those 3” in from each side and leave the 4x4 block in the center, will that keep the stripe running in the same direction when I assemble the star?

[@LisaLisa-zl9vu]

You need to come up with something nice like this for a jelly roll. I don't know what to do with it!

[@jaythecraftymaniac6056]

LisaLisa what about Jenny’s Autumn Stars quilt? It’s in the playlist also in my list of things to make 😊

[@LisaLisa-zl9vu]

@@jaythecraftymaniac6056 hey thanks for telling me about the autumn blocks!

[@abbypanoch3304]

My blocks are measuring 8.5" unfinished, 8" finished. Pattern says 9" ufinished, 8.5" finished. Any reason why? I do 1/4" seam allowance.

[@JWRG1962]

Are the little squares 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 ?

[@lindalee9177]

Would this work with Rue 1800 layer cake......pink and green with red rouge as accent stars? I might try this?

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Sounds like a good idea to us, Linda!

[@MarliesMonllor]

What is between the 10" sq and the little half square triangles? Is that another border?

[@MelissaH05]

Yes, if I remember correctly, I think she said it was a mini border.

[@shirleykasprzyk4805]

What size are the black squares

[@sadie5288]

Will the 2-1/2" squares work as star legs on any size triangle? I have a pattern that shows using triangles pieces for all 3 pieces. I can't imagine working with all those bias edges so I'm trying to come up with a "Jenny" solution = easier" way to do it. Help please.

[@pabennett3287]

Can you tell us what the sewing seam is when attaching those little triangles to the main part of the quilt please?

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Hi, PA! Still using a 1/4" seam allowance for those as well. Hope this helps!

[@lanahardman5947]

What size are stars

[@hayaduek832]

Hi Jenny, Do you have a training on flying geese technique? Thanks in advance.

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Hi, Haya! We have several videos that make flying geese. Here's a few: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2amk5-Yba9pn5I kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnzJfmamf76Go8U kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqK3eqSkjNSInqs kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4fYaJWnrMh_q9k

[@sadie5288]

Sorry, I should have said on any size rectangle?

[@kellykagoshima6963]

Where do you get that tape. I bought clearly perfect angles but it doesn't stick well and catches

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

That is Diagonal Seam Tape from Cluck Cluck Sew. Here's the link, Kelly! www.missouriquiltco.com/shop/detail/114574/cluck-cluck-sew/-/diagonal-seam-tape

[@margiegarcia9644]

What size are the black squares?

[@rosettaciliberto7453]

What size are your black corners

[@pamwalton6992]

I wasn’t sure but I checked on their site and the package is called a mini charm pack. It contains 84-2 1/2 x 2 1/2 inch squares. I think I need some of these! Enjoy

[@sallymcrae4943]

Do you sell the tape on your machine that acts as a stitch width guide? I would love to find that for my machine!

[@angelah.2291]

Yes they do. It’s diagonal seam tape by Cluck Cluck Sew. I use it and it works so much better than marking. Hope you try it.

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

We certainly do, Sally! Here's the link: www.missouriquiltco.com/shop/detail/114574/cluck-cluck-sew/-/diagonal-seam-tape

[@ghazalawaheed9247]

Well I suppose making flying geese and making the star is easier than this. That is the method I use !!!

[@deborahsmith3421]

Love your quilts and how you teach ….such enjoyable entertainment! Lick them fingers if you want, their yours!

[@catherinemccurdy6994]

I really love the pattern, but hate that black and coral. It seems so depressing, especially at this time.

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

We'd love to see the colors you choose, Catherine! Definitely let us know when you make one!
