Make a "Quilt As You Go Hexagon" Quilt with Jenny Doan of Missouri Star (Video Tutorial)

[@samanthamariefreeman335]

I admit that I am obsessed with this 'new' method...it's new 'candy' and I can't stop!!😙

[@sandrasaddleman581]

I’m glad Misty said not to worry until it is ironed. Love this tutorial.

[@maryjperalta2562]

Being left handed, I really appreciate Jenny's demos. It makes sense to me, lol. Finally, a left handed teacher!

[@wendywilson1736]

Right?! 💁‍♀️ Oooops, you know what I mean.😄 I does help though, even though we've managed to function all of our lives.😏

[@annec781]

I am right-handed, but my mom was left-handed, I do a lot of things like a lefty. It makes more sense to me to fold from the bottom.

[@nicolab2081]

Every time I watch this demo I get a little giggle out of the way that Jenny says 'Nicola'. She makes it sound positively exotic, when I can assure you it's a dull and ordinary name here.

[@fraulowrey]

Thought you would enjoy that my mother 87 bought this for me. I also purchased one for her. :-) Wonderful stocking gift. A Christmas we'll both remember.

[@twilaallen6092]

Great to see Natalie in the studio again, loved her in some of the earlier years videos. She needs to do more of them.

[@cathinuferrous2336]

Love LOVE THE TREE SKIRT... now I know why I’ve been waiting 30 years to make myself a tree skirt... I’ve been waiting for this pattern 🎄

[@mamas_quilts3573]

Hi Natalie!! Hi Missy!! Oh Jenny thank you for bring us this awesome lady and her wonderful invention! Wowww!!

[@adaisygarden7535]

My favorite “live” tutorial of MSQC! It was so nice having the 3 ladies together! Love the way you all think and sew differently so it really helps to cover all the various ways it can be done with some fun ideas thrown in!

[@stlkeeler]

Totally agree! Please make more videos with them.

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Thank you for tuning into our tutorial! We're thrilled you enjoyed it! :)

[@kimberleyrussell9877]

Great idea thankyou

[@chareast9997]

as a child someone showed me this method. but without today's tools, it was so much trouble, the teaching was the last time i ever saw anyone do it

[@patty5111]

You just make my little world a happy, "I can do that" place. If I have a not so good day, all I have to do is turn on You Tube and there you all are. Happy Blessings to you all and I Love the Hexagon projects. Thank you so much.

[@jackielam1920]

Just received my Hexi set. Love it, love it, love it. I started my scrap quilt on one side and flower quilt on the other. Thank you. My granddaughter in even interested in learning to do this. Life is good even if we are in our own spaces. I sent a message to all my friends they NEED this. Thanks a heap. Love to use my machine and sewing this by hand.

[@eugeniamoreno5846]

Wow! This looks so doable! So great to see Natalie, too! Misty and Natalie’s projects are terrific! Thank you, Jenny!

[@lynnelove9787]

I got this pattern from a friend about 3 years ago. Shortly after my husband had a heart attack and we ended up in Doctors offices a lot so I took this along as hand work. I made it in oriental fabric and made a queen size quilt. I just love the end result and enjoyed filling time with something productive. By the way your daughter has your same beautiful smile

[@sharonlatour6230]

ALL Those are so stinkin CUTE Nicola has come up with a winner. Thanks Nicola, Jenny, Natalie and Misty!!

[@kjthomas8213]

I am only half way through this video and I had to pause it to tell you how excited I am about this!!! What a team you all are!.....everyone finding their own niche in the Company....Misty is great and good to see Natalie again! I feel that I have so much in common with Jenny.....also love to do my own thing and figure it out as I go. I have GOT to try this! I could go on and on, but I'll stop here and just Kudos to all of you!!!

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Yay!! We're absolutely thrilled you enjoyed this tutorial! We hope you have a wonderful time stitching together your hexagons, and thank you for your kind words. They mean so much to us! :)

[@patriciamillar5496]

Love this because I’ve been working on a quilt using this method. So much fun and fast. I’m doing a larger size, put five smaller hexis on the plain top and match the back with the small hexis on the front. Small hexis are fuzzy cut. They are different themes. Flowers, sewing things, dogs, etc. I spend a lot of time in medical waiting rooms and hospital rooms with my son and these templates will make my next project super easy. Thanks again Jenny.

[@vickyls8132]

I’m a retired 2nd grade teacher so, I love hexagons! We do so much geometry with little ones! I can’t wait to make my first quilt! Too many choices!!! Thx, Girls, from Cibolo, TX!

[@anamariacamposguevara7423]

So lovely to see you 3 girls teaching together🥰

[@suestutzle2779]

I live in Australia and have the pleasure of owning Nicola's quilt as you go hexagon. I love it. So far I have only made a beautiful table centre for my round table. I am an instant person so I did it by machine. It looks lovely and when people come into my kitchen they always say wow, your table looks very nice. I have an old jug with pothos growing in it, sitting in the middle hexie. I have lots of other plans for my hexie too. Some small eg., a needle keeper book and ideas for a quilt, a tote etc. Our imagine can be limitless and everyone thinks of something different to do with them. It's such fun. I loved what Jenny and the girls did with theirs.

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Thank you so much for tuning in, Sue! We can't wait to see what hexagon projects you create next with Nicola's template! Have an awesome time sewing! :)

[@lucirandall4051]

I have been hand-sewing a QAYG quilt for a veteran (QOV), and my daughter commented how much she liked it, and it would be really nice as a tree skirt with Christmas materials. So... thank you MSQC... I know at least one of the things I'll be making her for Christmas... altho this one I'm sewing on the machine! Love y'all!

[@pkfamily7297]

You guys are so much fun to watch all together at once! Great chemistry!

[@lesa6399]

WOW, Natalie! Love everything you ladies made!!! Thank you Daisy & Grace! I can visualize SO many “quilts”! My younger grandsons will love the back of Misty’s!!! (No flowers, Granma! Lol)

[@moon-ud8tq]

Glad to see Natalie hexi that was completed with a charm pack so that was great info and an inspiration to make one like hers!

[@kaybutcher5719]

Natalie is amazing. I’ve noticed before how she seems to see through mathematical eyes and how a design comes together from a method I never would be able to see. Jenny, you are blessed with awesome children! I’m going to try this. Thanks!

[@stephiepeterson]

This is very fun! What a great way to use scraps, including batting scraps! Love all of them, especially Misty’s! Thanks, ladies!

[@thefloreas6699]

This is very sentimental to me because it was with this technique/pattern that I learned to sew. Our neighbor lady always had one of these in the works. She did it all by hand and she taught me. I now have one in the works all the time. It is a great way to use up scraps and a wonderful portable project.

[@phyllisjones5612]

Love this idea for using hexigons. I have used the same technique for sewing square blocks together that were made out of a denim circle from old jeans with a 5" print square on the front and the arched part of the circle folded back over the denim on each side. This gives a cathedral window effect and makes a great picnic quilt. I've made 8 so far and the recipients were thrilled with them. I left the edges of the folded over denim raw so get a fun rag effect when washed. Thanks ladies for this great tutorial. I've added this to my to do list.

[@pamelaallen6543]

The three of you are so much fun working together. All the wonderful ideas.

[@shellyboyle3185]

Beautiful quilt!!! I love the grays in Missy's and Natalie's projects were stunning! Love the black borders! Love the tree skirt !!!

[@HopeValleyRI]

Saw this video and I just had to try it. Ordered and received my templates from MSQC. Thought this would be a great hand project to do while traveling. Each hexagon doesn't take long to hand sew and puts me into a relaxed frame of mind (unless my cat is trying to "help"). Thank you, ladies, for this great video. You're the best!

[@lynnaltmayer7982]

I started making these with Daisy and Grace's smaller hexagon pattern- I'm glad you found her! It has been so much fun. Now I will try the larger template!

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Nicola is such a delight, and we couldn't be more thrilled to collaborate with her on this project! Happy sewing!

[@samanthamariefreeman335]

Well, last year MSQC videos got me addicted to Dresden. Last week, I received my 'star in a hex' templates using the quilt as you go method...and NOW...I am addicted to this one! The templates are FANTASTIC!! I love how you guys inspire my 'muse'

[@kavey8369]

Great to see Nicola’s templates over in the USA. Wait until you see her triangles, houses, crowns, diamonds and flower templates and all the things you can do with them....well done Nicola! I’ve just seen how many tutorials Jenny has done on You Tube - OMG! Amazing....x

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Glad to have you join us, Karen, and hope we can bring even more of Nicola's work over the pond!

[@justgloria.]

Christmas tree skirt! Brilliant Natalie.

[@dianejudd]

When your folding your mitered corners, you can make them all the same direction. When you get to the last side, just unfold the end of the first side you did and fold it under. Then they are all on top as you sew.

[@Eonehalf]

Yes, that's how I do it. ❤

[@Betsyboo1883]

Thank you I will do that!

[@EdnaPapaia]

Great job, girls! I am looking for something to make a basketball quilt. I have three yards of basketball fabric.

[@mary-annz.reynolds7778]

What a fun video with Natalie and Misty. Jenny, thank you. It was fun seeing all the projects. I have to have that hexie now.

[@marciabrown4385]

I love, love, love, Natalie's idea about the tree skirt!!! I soooo want to do that and the table runners and table toppers!! I love the bright ones on the back, too!!

[@maggiehallinan1771]

Love Natalie’s tree skirt idea!!

[@gardenquilts]

Hi Ladies, this tutorial is so much fun! My daughter in law lives in Kansas City and she happily educated all the rest of us about your stores and tutorials, which I'm grateful for. In watching this one, I couldn't tell if Missy was using an open toe foot for her sewing or not. I love open toe feet ( old eyes, LOL) but I wondered if those little seams might try to tuck themselves off in some funny way with them. Thanks again for your videos, supplies that we can order and all of the fun! I wholeheartedly agree with sewing these up by machine!

[@deel2167]

Ladies, I *LOVE* you! Seriously! I could give you a big ol' kiss right now! I have a round table and have been wanting a bee-themed table topper but have been uninspired to actually make anything (Thanks, depression!). But now my brain is going a mile a minute! Yellow fabrics for the centers, ivory for the edges, applique some bees on top and I've got me a honeycomb for my table! Smaller versions for placemats, individual hexies for coasters, make some without batting for napkins... Thank you for the little spark I needed to get my mojo back for this project that I've been sitting on for YEARS! 🤗😘💕

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Happy we could help get the mojo back in your stitching, Dee!

[@margm4]

How fantastic! All the different ideas from basically same patterns! You girls had so much fun😍🇦🇺

[@susanjackson1907]

How neat of a quilt creating method! I can’t wait to give it a try!! Awesome tutorial! Thanks So Much!

[@DianaMathieu-lm5lc]

I did it all by hand, sewed inner and attaching the hexi's together. It makes you go nuts, but love how it turned out.

[@judyzeigler3980]

Thank you. I got that template and a few more small. I love these so much. I hand sew just because I can watch TV or just listen to music and hand show them. I really love the sew as you go. Am having so much fun with them. Thank you, Daisy & and Grace, for Partner with Missouri Star Quilt. I love these templates. 😊 Partning partner

[@justgloria.]

I love the way Natalie tosses those 6 backing fabric hexies she so efficiently cut! Like boom... it’s a quilter’s version of the mike drop.

[@teddizayas5650]

Yes! I love Natalie's "mike drop" (great analogy, just gloria!), also Natalie's hair is sooo cute! And Misty, love the intellectual look you're sporting with those glasses :) You girls are so smart and such fun to watch-thanks!

[@dianakranning9843]

I love this...I have made several runners already. I hand sew mine, take it along on road trips to help pass the time. I want to make a new Christmas tree skirt, love that you showed how to do that and thanks for the example patterns.

[@popup1961]

Love it ! Misty’s is the best. Looks old fashioned. Just too cute !

[@kathyclayton4318]

This is such a great idea. I have avoided making these hexies because i do not really enjoy hand work but it would be so fun and so quick to use a machine to stitch them together. I have often wondered if it would work but have not tried it. Now i will! So fun to see the 3 of you with all of your different ideas and methods. Love you guys!

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Works great, and hope we'll see your hexagon creations soon, Kathy!

[@mimzyriepensell1423]

Love all the ideas the three of you have shown and those in the comments too...wonderful

[@StephRenee812]

New to sewing here. Finally onto my first quilt. Making a pixel quilt. I just love watching all your videos, I am learning so much. Thank you for teaching us.. love, love

[@lafinbrat765]

Oh my goodness.. I just ordered mine and sew excited to experiment with these hexagons. I have most of my quilts sewn by hand (I was a single Momma too poor to purchase a sewing machine).. I've been wanting a good hand sewing project and I have now found it here with Missouri star quilt company.. Thank you.. thank you.. thank you !!!

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Glad we could help out, Charlene, and we're super excited to see the hexagon quilts you create!

[@janicewilkinson2783]

You ladies are so talented. 3 absolutely different ideas…perfect. And fun to watch….🇨🇦

[@lorifelber8927]

This is so cool. I love what Natalie has done with the table runner and also her reversible tree skirt.

[@janblomeke44]

started cutting my littles out today!! Can't wait to finish it.

[@suzettewashington1288]

Jan - I’m almost done with mine (started earlier this week). So excited to complete my very ever first quilt 😍🎊🎉☀️😁!!! Happy sewing!!

[@cherleneartman7203]

I love Misty’s quilt 😊

[@scottydog6539]

Love all the Hexi pieces. The tree skirt is adorable

[@judicabanaw7486]

I ordered these templates years ago from Hickory Hill Quilts, in Arizona maybe 10 or 12 years ago. I made a few coasters and put them away. I believe they are different size than the ones you are using but it was nice to see them again I I brought mine out to use again,,,thanks for the reminder. everything old is new again.

[@sheilakethley5351]

I LOVE Natalie’s table topper with the brights against the black!

[@linwei-lee110]

I love the portability of quilt as you go

[@kathydunn8244]

Love love your ideas on what you ladies created using the hexy template. So so cute.

[@michelleshelby01]

Just ordered my hexagon ruler and I have some cute bee fabric already!!! Win win... and it's a perfect project to keep my hands and mind busy while camping this Christmas... thanks ladies at MSQC 💕🐝

[@patandrews6963]

The possibilities are endless! I bought this template set awhile back but didn’t get around to making anything. I am excited now to really get going. When I think of all the batting scraps I have, this is gonna be awesome.

[@joycheek6756]

Great templates! Love seeing Natalie again!

[@TariHuffaker]

I love the stained glass look of the navy background.

[@kimramirez3725]

I was reading some of the comments & I gotta say There are some terrific ideas for projects using the finished hexies :) A bag, Coasters, quilted shawl... someone mentioned using Bee fabric (which delighted the hubs cause I actually have some so don't need to get any LOL). I appreciate the fact that this project can be done on the machine instead of by hand too. It was great to see all 3 of You Doan gals doing this tutorial together, It was fun, it is great to see all the great projects You made and how each of You got there. Missouri star tutorials are my favorites anyway but this triple play idea takes it to another level of awesome

[@LifeSewCrazy]

How am I just seeing this! 😍😍😍 I need this template in my life.

[@jocelynkemp5105]

Hello from Queensland Australia, I was inspired to make a tree skirt following Natalie's example. I made mine by hand, using scraps of fabrics leftover from my granddaughters Christmas dresses and skirts my mother made for my daughter in 1980s. I used left over batting strips to cut the filling.. I was a bit surprised at how many hexagons I used but it was fun to make them while we were travelling at Christmas. I may add another circle next year to make it a bit larger. We've enjoyed identifying whose garments' fabrics were included. It has now had it's first Christmas. Thanks for getting me started on this one.

[@emilywilliams3237]

I watched this a few months ago, and it stuck in my mind. Since I am in a stash-busting mood these days, I ordered the template! Can't wait to try out some of these projects. And I do love the three of you together in the videos.

[@wyorose5965]

Quilting across the pond! Fabulous!

[@missydavis5105]

I bought the template and I am in love... it is so easy and wonderful to use. A must have in your collection. Thank you Jenny and girls for bringing it to us. Hugs

[@nancyrichwine929]

Hello all, I did machine straight-stitch edge binding and the machine zigzag to join hexagons. Ugh! Difficult to match corners and despite using thread to match back I didn’t like the zig zag. Giving my finished project a C !

[@Kate98755]

I could do squares with the same method, love this!

[@valeriebiber7853]

Absolutely adorable. I giggled along with all three of you. Thank you all. xo

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

We're so glad you enjoyed this tutorial, Valerie! Happy quilting! :)

[@deedeefridolfson6362]

Great quilt! Also great to see Natalie again! Wish she was on a lot more! She should be doing the replays! I'd watch them then!

[@complexify1]

I love Misty’s version! That is so creative!!

[@lindalarsen293]

received my hexy 'quilt as you go' template today. Just had to make a trial run and it turned out so cute. Easy to do and so much fun. I think this is one of my favorite templates. I purchased this template to make a baby quilt using baby animal prints but I see so many other things I can do with this template. Think I will use the sample I made for a coaster for my coffee mug. Thanks to all .

[@cc83jc85]

I actually like it a lot more now- that I see its sewn with white! I've done similar, which makes me very happy to know that I was on the right track in the first place! Keep doing your great job ladies

[@bonniestalhiem8025]

I really really like the circular table topper and tree skirt!👍🏻

[@lorindav5549]

Woo hoo! My templates arrived! I would LOVE this as a set with multiple sizes! Making baby quilts with my Lori Holt, Riley Blake cherry prints.

I grabbed mine this morning! Cant wait to play with a new tool!! You guys are awesome!

[@sharonk1805]

LOVE this...I started two Grandmothers Flowers Garden over 25 years ago and they’re not done yet, but my new Christmas Tree Skirt is done thanks to this technique and ruler!

The answer is: Yes. They're all cuter. ;)

Strawberry Seed Like Katy Perry’s jacket on America’s Got Talent!

[@grandmalovesmebest]

I did an Afghan @ 15 yrs ago called grandma's garden. All hexies and join as you go. Pure love, used up bags of vannas choice leftovers. Someone at my bldg loved it too as she stole it from the laundry room! So I'm going to make it again as this quilt w all my left over fabrics. Thanks Jenny!

[@mwebb2162]

@@grandmalovesmebest Aww, GC, I'm so sorry it's gone. But know that it's loved wherever it went!

[@lindabrown2868]

This method has been done in crazy quilting for years but it’s still fun to watch

[@bikrgran]

I LOVE this! I need to go with this with the rest of my hexies! Thanks, all of you!

[@JenniferJonesQuilterdressmaker]

It was great meeting you at last at the FOQ Jenny, even though it took 5 years from when my daughter and I came to Missouri Star, I wore my MS apron too...

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

We were thrilled to see you again, Jennifer! Hopefully you and your daughter can come see us again in Hamilton! :)

[@rogerthat7001]

beautiful projects. Love the tree skirt, so inventive, cosy. Thank you.

[@nammyg7052]

Love the quilt so much. I will be ordering the templates. It was great to see Natalie again I hope to see her again soon.

[@Avotts]

Terrific video. I've been turning over an idea in my brain to do something similar, but very different too. When I saw your thumbnail i hurried and tapped it to play. Thank you so much.

[@pamketron]

Awesome tutorial. I saved this video from last year and am planning to make it. It looks beginner friendly and fun. Gotta get my supplies and then give it a go. Love it when all 3 of y’all are in the video together. Love Misty’s flowers. They are adorable. Love Jenny’s table topper and love Natalie’s Christmas tree skirt. Loved the back side of the tree skirt. Thank Y’all for an awesome tutorial. Hugs!

[@littlequiltsong9576]

You guys are amazing! I am not a template person at all, but this has me soooo enthused - love all of your projects - and the table runner and tree skirt are especially cute. Thank you for showing us how reversible these projects are - and Natalie's quick pinning method made me want to attempt this soon. Great tutorial Jenny, Misty and Natalie!

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Thanks so much for joining us, and we'll look forward to seeing what you make soon!

[@rhondapolk3138]

you know the cookies that come out every season! they would make great project runs for on the go & to store!

[@MillsSkits]

I'm having such fun with this template. Just wanted to post a combination idea, which is to sew the hexagons by machine, but hand stitch them together afterward. That way you get the quilted look on front and back, but with hidden connecting stitches. I'm doing prints with the small hexagons, and solids for the back in seven hexagon flower groupings, for a reversible quilt. There are so many possibilities with this template. Thank you, Daisy and Grace and MSQC!

[@Paula_Limberg]

Love the fun idea, and thank you very much for such great closed captions!

[@lfurry808]

This was such a great video and I'm so happy I happened upon it. Thank you ladies.
