Make a "Snowballed Disappearing Four Patch" Quilt with Jenny Doan of Missouri Star

[@veenasennik307]

Thank you my grand daughter loves it so I am on the job !!!!

[@cathytaylor1203]

"This is just the way my brain works..." Jenny, you have a brilliant brain! The way you make quilt blocks so beginner-friendly is amazing. Thank you and God bless you!

[@t.mumpfield]

Looks easy enough even for this beginner gal! Thanks, Jenny!!

[@damiand7000]

Tina Mumpfield Omgoodness since I saw your picture I haven’t been able to take my eyes off it... please where in this world would a woman like you come from?

[@jenmcginnis3989]

I just love your enthusiasm when you lay out a pattern. Jenny you just make me happy when I watch you. Thank you so much . I really love this one as the star layout.

[@sherenelochner7339]

I will never live long enough to do all the awesome quilts that you tutorial, but I am trying!!

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Happy quilting, Sherene! :)

[@MrsSmith-vf2vw]

I love the star, I'd make it in red and white, cause I'm Danish, and I would love to give one like this to my mother, great tutorial Jenny, thanks a bunch for sharing!

[@sarahlee5403]

Mind. Blown. 🤯😀💖

[@sheilaayre4629]

The quilt looks fabulous.

[@cindygrenier4433]

I always enjoy seeing what new block you come up with, thank you Jenny for the fun designs.

[@fisherlady408]

Love love this!

[@denisepineda1788]

Great quilt. I love disappearing block quilts. I never know what pattern is going to show up. I love the two color version as well. Thanks for another great tutorial.

[@dianeledgerwood1091]

Thank you! This looks so sweet in the fabric you chose and looks soooo complicated. Another great one.

[@elizabethdawne]

so cool! This block would look really nice on point.

[@professorfarmgirl9662]

If you set as stars and sash them, you can sew the snowball cut offs into hour glasses and use them as sashing cornerstones!😀

[@littlequiltsong9576]

This is so neat - and so pretty in those fabrics. Great tutorial!

[@suecox2308]

That's amazing!

[@stephanniemetz3610]

Sew fun!❤️

[@michellealonso2105]

I love this one

[@Angela10226]

Every time I need something with that special pizzazz you give it to me, simple but with the look of so much work! Thanks as always Jenny

[@drob72959]

I like the idea of the “star” block layout, with sashing, as an alternate way of using this block...thanks Jenny, once again!

[@eepsers1]

Would be great with solid alternate blocks, too!

[@Bmon-js2lk]

Wow, looks like fun.🌺🥰

[@kimmiller8255]

If you made a 2" cut would that make the corner blocks work with a mini charm so you can use all precuts?

[@emilynorris980]

Look easy xo but I am still learning xo

[@davidhensley76]

I like when Jenny shows us multiple layouts for a quilt.

[@holiday-td6hx]

It never ceases to amazing me the things Jenny shows us, and the enthusiasm she has with every single video she makes!!! I know that Jenny isn't going to make these videos forever, but she is the VOICE of MSQC....I really love her and the way she is. Don't get me wrong, I think Misty (Jake's wife) does a great job with the videos and she would probably make a good replacement for Jenny when Jenny retires.....which won't be any time soon I hope. Jenny, thank you so much for helping me to be confident while making quilts. When I first started watching you in 2011.....I had never quilted a single thing. I've sewn garments since my daughter was 3 months old(I made all of her clothing from Kindergarten thru the 12th grade) but never had the interest to quilt, until quite by accident I stumbled onto KZbin and a tutorial from MSQC!!! Thanks to everyone one who makes MSQC what it has become in 2019. God Bless all of you!

[@sandyhearth8249]

I'm with you! I sewed for all my family since 1967 but never had an interest in quilting, UNTIL... Jenny!! Last year (April 2018) I was inspired by her "Paws and Pins" quilt and started my first quilt. I am hooked! Thank you, Jenny for your delightful spirit and inspiration! God bless you. I hope to meet you someday.

[@jackiewilliamson374]

Jenny has a daughter Natalie that thinks like she does. Both ladies are So very talented

[@trishbytheway9040]

If you use a 3 1/4” small square, rather than 3”, you won’t cut off your points. Cute quilt!

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Thanks for the helpful tip Trish! We appreciate it.

[@joannmccraw7235]

Your whole crew must do some major brain storming to come up with so many different patterns. Great job, Jenny!

[@jenihansen7201]

Jenny, your teaching skills are the very best. I love your tutorials. Thank you so much.

[@mamas_quilts3573]

Oh, if anyone finds quilting safety pins too expensive, use small plyers to give the sharp side of plain s.pins a little bend toward the "latch" part. Amazing! 💝

[@Vio-ot4ft]

Good tip. I bought some curved basting safety pins some time ago, but I tossed them as I found they made HUGE holes in the fabric.

[@kennethepps3425]

If you did the snowball on the background corners with your fabric, it would be an interesting shofly variation.

[@godsspecialchild86]

Lovely quilt! When you snowballed the first block (as the 1st example), you held it up, with snowballed edges facing diagonal & it would look great "on point" too. ❤ 😉

[@suecone2198]

This is so interesting because of the different design you can achieve using different layouts! You always make things that look complicated easy! Yeah ! Thanks 😍

[@joannmccraw7235]

Beautiful quilt! I like the way you show it is solids and the hint to make sure you sash between the blocks to keep the "star" visible. Now, take a look at the quilt from a side-way view, (as if it were on point) oval cubby holes being held in place by reflecting diamonds ... a completely different looking quilt.

[@chartaber5198]

After figuring out my conundrum with snowball piece I found that if that square was 3 1/4 inches it did leave a seam allowance and a nice point. It all depends on the size of that first cut. I love the concept. You all come up with such clever ideas.

[@cathyrowe594]

Love this quilt! Just wish yardage amounts were given for those of us who live in tiny towns & don't have access to quilt shop precuts.

[@sbro9477]

Cathy Rowe you could work it out normally 42 square in a charm pack and they are 5” square. 36” to the yard by between 36” to 60” wide

[@be_you2023]

I love you’re energy and enthusiasm with each quilt. 💕

[@cristinasanchez3632]

Es usted genial!! Lo explica todo muy bien y de forma sencilla. Gracias

[@beckys856]

Another great quilt, Jenny!! Really love this block and that fabric!

[@clairdelune82]

I would love to see what happens if you snowball the white corners with a color square as well. I'll put this on my to-do list for sure!

[@dianesmith6501]

Swap the purple out for red, and you have a “Christmas Garden!”

[@ladyd54]

Love it Jenny! I think I’m going to start off with mini charms, which I have lots of and create a miniature quilt.

[@annasipinski2468]

That's a great idea! Thanks for sharing. 😊

[@damiand7000]

Linda Deutscher Omgoodness since I saw your picture I haven’t been able to take my eyes off it... please where in this world would a woman like you come from?

[@pdq5712]

Very fun! I wonder what it would look like if you didn't Snowball the corners?🤔

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Hello there! That could be a fun quilty experiment, and we're pretty sure it would look very similar to the original Disappearing Four Patch. You can watch the tutorial here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHKQYmN3lLqWbM0

[@anamariacamposguevara7423]

Very versátil block love the idea doing stars ⭐️ Too. Tk you 😘🥰

[@GeminiPeg]

Thank you for bringing your Baby Lock (Jane?) back. She is so fast. Oh, love the quilt too.

[@gwynwellliver4489]

The star bock would be a great Christmas quilt in alternate red/white and green/white blocks!

[@chandrakirts4602]

The second way you laid that out looked kind of like a churn dash block.

[@pammcdowell8635]

I love this block!! Another great tutorial Jenny!! Thank you

[@moyaliew2913]

Love it.... full of creativity! Thanks for the awesome tutorial!

[@sandracedar368]

I love EVERYTHING you create/teach! I'm fairly new to quilting,. & I've learned so much from you. My wish is to one day meet you. Now that would be wonderful! Thank you for you🤗

[@kristiedentice8021]

Such a beautiful pattern Jenny! But all your ideas are great ones! Keep up the great work

[@oosterkamps]

This looks like so much fun! Thank you, Jenny!

[@chartaber5198]

I also liked the star arrangement. I want to try it in miniature. (Some what) But sewing the snow ball block from corner to corner seemed to me that it would cutoff points when sewn to another block. I have noticed that you aren’t as attached to points as I am. 😉

[@lauracrawford4069]

Snowball with a 3.25 inch square and you should have points.

[@lauracrawford4069]

Oh, wait .. . you are the person who figured that out! Thank you!

[@momgrandma5496]

Hi Jenny, I recognize the fabric from KZbinr Melly Sews, the colors look great in this fun quilt, love the cut, rearrange and snowball method.

[@dawndecesare2077]

Awesome pattern and tutorial! I noticed you are using a wool pressing mat. Is it worth the money? I have been thinking about investing in one for awhile now. Thanks Jenny. You are the best!

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Hi, Dawn! It's such a great mat, and really worth the money!

[@quiltingforthesoul]

I’m looking for something to do with my granddaughter she keeps asking me to let her make a quilt. So I think this one she will loves it and she can take it to school and show what she does this summer . Thank you and may God bless you and your family

[@quiltingforthesoul]

Thank you

[@rosereyna8059]

Yup I saw that star. Beautiful quilt. We love you Jenny 😍😘 Thank You and MSQC

[@SnapDragon764]

The snow ball square in background needs to be same as the corner...I get 3.25 with my seams.

[@jessrobling9283]

I’ve had quilters block the last few months (no pun intended! 😂) and this video was just the inspiration I needed! Thanks, Jenny!

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Yay, Jess! That's so great!

[@Vio-ot4ft]

Hilarious pun!

[@loraineleuschke4186]

Amazes me how such simple blocks can be put together and make such breath taking beauty. Tfs

[@lindajohnson6382]

This is a beautiful quilt! I am going to try to make one!

[@paml2642]

I love your cut apart quilt blocks! They look like you’ve done all the piecing but it’s so easy. Thank you for another wonderful tutorial Jenny😊

[@iheartcolorado9311]

Brilliant, I love the way you pieced this and sewed it!

[@angiesewtherapy6628]

This is so cute. Another great job Jenny team!

[@singellis]

Very cool! Thanks so much for this one 💜

[@kathynewhart6738]

Love this Jenny...will definitely be on my to do list... .

[@annasipinski2468]

Love it! You did it again! Kudos to you and your team!

[@barbaramcdonald1823]

Wonderful. Such great inspiration Will try this on my next quilt

[@claudettemonty4077]

Jenny, I want to know when you say "background fabric" it’s that a MUST of white fabric?? Can I take an other colour than white?? Little pale grey, beige but not white??

[@mountaincountrytraditions6292]

Love your quilts!! Where would I find a presser foot like the one you are using?

[@robertsnider1527]

Great tutorial. Easy to follow directions and creative. Thanks Jenny! Keep the ideas coming! Judy S

[@lindafrantz4913]

I love this pattern! I can’t wait to try it. You are such a great teacher. Thanks.

[@huxfamily09]

Beautiful! This would be cute for my girls. Also I wonder what it would look like if you snow balled the white corners with your patterned fabric?

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

That sounds like a fun experiment! Be sure to let us know how it goes. Happy sewing! :)

[@carriechambless]

You're such a great teacher and so fun to watch and learn from you. Thank you for all you do. Happy Quilting.

[@mamas_quilts3573]

I love this!! To me, the colors, floral look vintage.

[@dschaechter1]

Change the fabric you can’t see the design

[@10275248]

Thanks for this ...gonna see you at thanksgiving point in September.....

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Woohoo!! We can't wait to see you there! :)

[@NannaLiz]

Are you liking the dark blue cutting mat?

[@denisestilling2810]

Nice easy to follow instructions.

[@lyndagavit6964]

I love this pattern! Love the fact you can get a star block out of the pattern also. Always love your tutorials!

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Thanks Lynda! We're so glad you enjoyed watching this tutorial!

[@cherylthompson4132]

As always, another amazing tutorial!!

[@damiand7000]

Cheryl Thompson Omgoodness since I saw your picture I haven’t been able to take my eyes off it... please where in this world would a woman like you come from?

[@nellycastillo8252]

The layout plays the design I like 🎀

[@robbymack2668]

This is bad... very bad... I was just going to do a pillow each for the G-daughters to lean on when they were reading, then I watched this tutorial and NOW I am planning a new quilt for our bed, another one to use up that pink and grey fabric I have been saving for 20 years and THEN I looked at some of Jenny's other tutorials in the side column and thought; "Oh, that looks good!" so now I want to make other quilts - lots of quilts using those amazingly simple but wonderful design tutorials - quilts I don't need! I wish Jenny was terrible at tutorials, then I wouldn't have watched the whole thing. Twice. It's very, very bad...

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Glad you enjoyed all the wonderful quilting ideas, Robyn! Best of luck getting those pillows done and hope to see you back here often!

[@shafaqkhan7355]

awesome I LOVE YOU JENNY

[@StitchscapeUk1]

My only concern about the measurements with this block is that it will mean the points are lost when the blocks are sewn together. Is there a way to leave the 1/4in space from the edge of the snowballed point to the edge of the fabric?

[@maggiemarlow6486]

I’d love the star to make a cushion!

[@ivyroy2896]

I love to make all your designs

[@lorirohrer647]

Super ideas! Luv luv luv Jenny!!

[@anitahaecker8113]

Do you not use your Eversewn machine any longer?

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Hi Anita! Jenny likes to try out different machines. You never know which one she may be using next! :)

[@Vio-ot4ft]

Love the star version with sashing! This would look amazing with all solids, and a different color for each star. Thanks again Jenny!

[@maureensews6568]

Love these disappearing patches. When do you square up?

[@memere4137]

I really love this pattern, thank you so much for such a great tutorial...from Innisfil Ontario Canada 🇨🇦

[@roxanneeneroth9841]

If you change those measurements like you suggest would you have to change the size of your snowball square also?

[@irenamangone]

Love This one Jenny.

[@jeannepickens8763]

I love every one you do!

Hi Jenny. Two friends and I recently traveled from the coast of Mississippi to Hamilton. I spent 3 days shopping in your stores and had a wonderful time. My friends and I plan to make it an annual trip. Thank you for your tutorials!!!
