[@sherenelochner]

What a great scrap buster, I need one of those!

[@allieshepherd7860]

Best technique I've ever seen for making an hour-glass block! Thank you. The green back is an excellent choice for a quilt that will be laid on the grass for a picnic, etc.

[@amywilliams928]

I love this. I have a lot of scraps from other projects so I cut the leftovers into 5 inch squares. Now I know what to do with them. THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@lenoresorensen7921]

I love this video your tutorials always make it easier to do any block. I and my daughter who just started quilting and sewing again can’t wait to book a vacation to Missouri and you will be one of our first stops! Love you sewing with you!

[@aok1951]

Love this video - another great one! Thanks to you (having watched your tutorials countless times and practiced!) I have made real progress with my quilting.

[@psuchyta]

Thank you so much Jenny. I was about to do the Harmony quilt until I saw all of those quarter square triangles. In looking for another way to tackle them I came across this video. I was able to cut 2-1/2 in strips. Did strip sets to do the 4 patch and was done in no time and didn't have to try to manage trying to sew all of those bias edges. THANK YOU AGAIN

[@marygrether1]

Jenny, I have had such a hard time keeping the points in line. thank you, I tried this and with practice I will get those points right! this one was so easy!

[@rowenawilliams7685]

[@karenweiman8036]

Great video - I am making this quilt in a larger size for my niece for a wedding present. I lve your videos. You are a very talented teacher. Thanks!

[@authenticallyamber99]

Okay, Jenny! This is another quilt that I'm putting in my que! Thank you for being the very best teacher ever!! When I first got married 25 years ago, I purchased a quilting book through a book club and it was always my dream to learn to quilt. Kids came and the years got busy, but ten years ago, I found you and you helped my dreams come true! Now, I'm learning all sorts of things continually and I have you to thank for helping us visual learners! Appreciate you and your team so very much! I always tell people that you're my "Best friend"! Haha! Many blessings to you for all you've imparted in me and others over the years! You are a gem!

[@HRHDMKYT]

Oh, man! Yet another wonderful quilt design that I feel like I MUST make... you're driving me crazy MSQC-- I can't keep up with my wish list of all your great ideas on KZbin! Luckily, I usually order my charm packs in groups of 4, as that's usually the number you need to make a nice-sized quilt... like this one. (And thanks again for another terrific tute!) ~Diana from Toronto

[@karenlautzenheiser2003]

How much fun is this quilt !!! I sure do love spending a little of my Fridays every week with you, Jenny!! Thank you so much!!

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Thanks for your generous comment Sigi G! We appreciate your great love and support!

[@leebordner3177]

I just used this metod for a scrap quilt using all of my scrap 5in squares! This was so easy. And Ibused my clealry perfect slotted trimmer to square all the completed blocks to 6in. Fast and easy. LOVE this. Thank you so much Jenny for another fast project. Although my scraps do not seem to have lessened any this was still an amazing venture. Hahaha

[@BettyLCP]

I Love it! This should be really fun especially with the Holiday's coming. Great job Jenny... God Bless.

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Can't believe how close we're getting to the Holidays BettyLCP!

[@janiekrig5232]

[@lindadaley7469]

Great quilt! This would be terrific for scraps! Scrap bin...here I come!

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

This would be a perfect quilt for scraps Linda!

[@dianenegron7916]

Woohoo! Perfect way to use my scraps. I know there will be a lot of cutting but who cares. I can cut my scraps to any size I want.

[@1bcsurvivor]

Jenny you make everything easy, if it wasn’t for the heat in Missouri, I would be moving there and asking for a job . 😀

[@deborahwilson2857]

This looks like a lot of fun.

[@amigofleurdesign]

I'm everytime so impressed , I ask myself, how did she get every week another georgeous ideas for such easy and impressive quilts. You are so creative - thanks for sharing your ideas.

[@lynnie57]

Love this method!

[@seasidestitches615]

Super duper video Jenny. Thanks so much!

[@patriciabrewer4974]

I just got my Brighten Up charm packs today for this quilt. Can't wait to start after I get back from vacation in 2 weeks.

[@huggieknuffie2346]

thank you so much .. thanks to you I learn how to quilt. Love to see you explaining things.. and so easy.. All my sparetime I am quilting.. I live in the north of The Netherlands.. and I am a great fan of you!!!

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Thanks for the sweet message Huggie & Knuffie! We appreciate your great support, and hope things are good over there in the Netherlands!

[@sandygrogg1203]

Very cool block! Almost magic..

[@Coldfusion1205]

I love this! Once again you took something that looked difficult and made it sew easy! I'm defiantly going to try this one. Thank you sew much for another wonderful tutorial. You are a very gifted quilter.

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

We appreciate your comment Coldfusion1205, and hope you enjoy making this quilt!

[@jacquieclegg4497]

This is a fantastic stashbuster. I have, however, found that I absolutely have to square up all the blocks.

[@debmetheral6596]

That is The quietest sewing machine luv it!

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

I believe that one is the Baby Lock Kathrine. Jenny has used a few different machines since then.

[@bettytullis461]

Oh my gosh how easy is this! I love MSQC tutorials. I do have a suggestion. Use a vacuum cleaner wand to run over the edges of any precuts with pinked edges. It cuts the fabric fray down and it won't be so dusty. Thank you Jenny and everyone for all the time and effort you put into each video. You make us better quilters.

[@alisonlodge5275]

I am going to make a table runner using this pattern, it should look great

[@IronOnsUS]

Jenny, you're so fun to watch. Your haircut is adorable, by the way. You make quilting feel so relaxing and easy. Thanks for another great pattern idea.

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Thanks for your sweet comment IronOns. US! We appreciate your great love and support!

[@susanmarical2300]

I love the colors in this quilt! I think I will give it a try with 10" squares. I need a larger quilt.

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

That sounds great Susan! We hope you enjoy making it!

[@lorimichel5773]

Oh how quick and easy.....and for me I will use mini charms...I love the small quilts that I make from your tutorials Jenny. and I may even just take one mini charm pack and cut that into 4 for a really mini Super Easy Hourglass Quilt. Thank your for all that you share....

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

What a wonderful idea Lori! If you decide to do this, we'd love to see a picture of the finished quilt!

[@vivianaecheverri6632]

You are the best, love you !!!

[@hildavalbuena9597]

Muy lindos sus trabajos Jenny. Siempre mostrando con mucha Claridad sus tutoriales.

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Thank you Hilda! We appreciate your support!

[@AthenaSchroedinger]

I am so going to make this one! I have been wanting some super easy ones to make for Xmas gifts. Thank you for sharing this.

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

This would make a beautiful Christmas gift AthenaSchroedinger! We hope you enjoy making it!

[@pattysherwood7091]

Love it! Thank you

[@janiceconway5542]

This is so pretty, I just love the colours. I keep buying fabric and cannot keep up, lol. Need to retire soon and just quilt! Thanks Jenny this is going to be an easy and fun one to do in our Canadian winters!

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Thank you Janice! We hope you enjoy making this block!

[@CRobertK]

This is just an adorable quilt! These fabrics are absolutely perfect! I just discovered this pattern tonight, so those fabrics from 2016 won't be around anymore. I'm not letting that stop me though! True Kisses by Heather Bailey/FIGO Fabrics will do just the trick and be a pretty close, yet brighter and cheerier match to those Northwoods fabric colors!

[@kathrynbroad3196]

i wonder what a 9 patch block would look like if you did the same thing to it . i think it would be awesome . i might just have to try it out . i think all your tutorials are awesome . so many to try , i don't have enough hours in the day . thank you for showing us all of your ideas .

[@henny5272]

Que lindo tutorial, lo haces ver fácil. Se que no lo es, pero es divertido. Gracias 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@janetruiz3372]

You're awesome Jenny! Such a cool way to make this block. I have to try this :)
