[@fineandnatural]

Once again I am drooling.....

[@Rigochef]

Very beautifully well done ❤

[@jackiehammans9445]

you teach me so many things i just can't wait for the next show

[@karaf695]

This is such a fun design!

[@cldundon7228]

Just when I think she can't be any more clever, she is!! Can't wait to give this pattern a try!

[@lindacrawford5029]

Great project for jelly rolls!

[@rebeccaday7076]

I sure hope someone is enjoying this cool quilt! Never seen this done before and in my Colors too!

[@kamraceclardy6777]

I'm 17 and make a new quilt every month!! I've never gotten into complicated patterns until subscribing to your channel! 😊 thank you so much, love your videos

[@abigailbarden4620]

Wow, is this a clever way to get a complex quilt with easy steps! What I liked even better is two of the tips included in the video. First, getting a good point after stitching the top of the blade-Jenny’s hint of folding the seam allowance over as she turns it right side out to get a good point. I’ve made hundreds of these blades and getting a good point has been a challenge every time! Second, her tip that in stitching the blades together, if they don’t match exactly at the top (outside of the circle), just roll the the higher side down until they do match. So simple! Thanks Jenny. Would love to make this quilt. Putting on the list!

[@cathinuferrous2336]

Every time I watch a video you guys make I find I want to buy a new tool, more fabric and make another quilt... I’m not going to live long enough to get all this done LOL 🥰

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Just means you have to live longer, Cathi! :D

[@AmaliaDiGi]

Being homebound, while recuperating from extensive abdominal surgery, your videos have been really helping me through it.......instead of just laying on the couch. I have been "gathering" supplies and fabrics, so that I can resume teaching myself to quilt properly. I've attempted it at 3 different times......but was never confident enough. I feel ready and confident now......thanks to your videos. Have been ordering through your company, and I must say, I'm impressed at how quick the supplies are shipped, and received. Thank you for helping me through this!!! Greetings from the Berkshires in Massachusetts!! XO

[@sherrimarston860]

Jenny you are my inspiration!! You are the best! Thank you!

[@carlinarivera3733]

Can't wait to make this in blue and white jelly roll!

[@kimramirez3725]

Love the way You took the classic Dresden, made it scrappy, but kept it super simple by using strips! This is one of those marvelous patterns that make people think You worked super hard to put all those pieces together but wink, wink, we know it wasn't hard at all! Thank You Missouri Star :)

[@lauracaballero4015]

I had seen a Dresden like this before and loved it. However, I never made one thinking it would be so difficult to make. THANK YOU for showing us how easy it is. I can't wait to make some now. Jenny, thank you for making these techniques so easy to follow!

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

It really is way easier than it looks at first glance. I hope you'll give it a try now. :)

[@cab102361]

So beautiful and not as difficult as it appears. Thank you for showing us this technique.

[@elaineneff5474]

Jennie, this block took my breath away! How beautiful the checkers look and you made it go together so easy! Thank you so very much for this wonderful block, you can be sure I am going to put this one together!!! So very excited to see you at the Trunk Show in Lehi, Utah on May 5th!!!

[@pkpenn]

[@heatherhayllar3000]

Beautiful quilt! Dresden is a favourite of mine to, and I love this one, and the colours are gorgeous. Thankyou all.

[@rhondagillespie6031]

Beautiful quilt! You are a wonderful teacher. I've never made a Dresden nor did I want to until this one. Love it and I have the perfect fabric precut bundle to use, and it came from your store. Thank you ❤️

[@christinavidal4131]

You make everything simple and easy to make that I've never doubted I couldn't make one as well! You are a fantastic tutor! Thanks for all the enlightenment ☺

[@47dian]

Jenny, I've made your Checkered Dresden Quilt in pink and lavender. This quilt is beautiful. I'm entering it in a quilt show here in my town. It really is fabulous. Thanks for the idea and the pattern.

[@memeladybug1879]

Love the quilt and Jenny you make it look so easy. When I don't have interfacing I use a used dryer sheet, it works great after pressing and maybe a little starch

[@lindagillespie6556]

Thank you jenny this is lovely , ill be making this

[@harrietvincent4526]

Enjoyed this lesson, the Dresden has always been scary to me. One of these days I'm going to make one - this one is easy but lots and lots of sewing. Thank you for these free lessons.

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

We hope you try out this quilt sometime Harriet! :)

[@sharihammel3644]

Very nice and a lot easier than I thought it was going to be. Also love the Autumn colors.

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

So happy you like this quilt Shari! It's so fun and easy to make!

[@8machines62]

It's a beautiful quilt! Well done Jenny Doan! This is on my bucket list, someday..

[@Itsparks138]

I’m making it today, Jenny! Thank you!

[@mz.broughton9993]

WOW!! You make what look so difficult look so easy to do. Thank you❤

[@marymote8951]

just so pretty could see it in Christmas fabric. made all the Dresden quilts you have done love all of them/

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

This quilt would look beautiful in Christmas fabrics Mary! We'd love to see pictures of your quilts sometime!

[@yvonnebirdling8417]

Just love it. I am going to make this, but must get the correct templates. Love the colourings as well, so does my husband, he would like a king size in the same colourings.

[@Cindy-re1cc]

Jenny that is such a beautiful quilt! When I get done with my Christmas projects I will have to make one of these. Thank you so much for every thing you teach. I have learned so much from you, your explanation on how to do thing is so easy to fallow. I wish I had you as a teacher in school. Your a good teacher and you making sewing fun. God bless you! Love Cindy

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Thank you so much Cindy!!! Have fun with your Christmas projects and we'd love for you to send us a photo when you try this one out!

[@joyceanglinmiller8758]

I'm looking at the Dresdens themselves and I see Thanksgiving placemats. I could make Christmas ones as well! That quilt, btw, is gorgeous with the blue and oranges and golds and that backing fabric is so pretty! I may have to place an order soon.

[@eileenfb1948]

What a lovely idea, thanks.

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

That's a great idea! Those will be stunning!

[@joyceanglinmiller8758]

I just came back from the MSQC site and found the backing you used is currently unavailable. Soooo, I came up with the idea of making the Dresden placemats reversible: one side Thanksgiving and the other side in a Christmas theme! That would work, right?

[@kathleenhassink4523]

Be careful how you have it quilted though... depending on the stitching design used, you have to make sure the dresden plates on the front and back line up exactly! Good Luck!

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

That's a wonderful idea Joyce! It should work just fine! We'd love to see a picture of the finished placemats sometime!

[@DonnaDiskin]

FANTASTIC ! ... Love the design and the Kansas Troubles fabric - perfect choice.

[@lorimichel5773]

Oh boy Jenny, looks like a new Mini Checker Dresden Plate is in my future.......great tute....

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

We hope so!

[@kymwilliams7356]

OMG!!! Thank you SOOOOOOO much. I looked at a quilt someone completed and thought to myself when would I be at that level. Not saying I am but you made it look so easy. Thank you again. I love this pattern.

[@sherriequilts]

Love the quilt! Would also make a great size for couch pillows:)

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

So many possibilities! That would be cute!

[@SSmith-hh6cb]

Love this idea, can't wait to get started.

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

You'll love making this quilt Faron! Glad you enjoyed this tutorial! :)

[@debbiekanavel5196]

If I added another two or four strips, this could easily be a tree skirt or table topper. I'm hooked!

[@dianawhite3879]

Hi Debbie, How many strips would I need to get a topper of a 30 inch diameter. I’m tearing my hair out trying to calculate this’d!

[@commanderdistrict7]

Thanks Jenny!

[@debbieobrien4204]

Thank you for this tutorial x I have always wanted to do the dresdon however always thought it was out my league x I have done it and so pleased with it x

[@debbieobrien4204]

I don’t know how to upload a pic of it as it doesn’t seem to be letting me 😕 xx

I have watched Jenny all day. She was my constant companion when I was recovering from a couple of surgeries... neck fusion and rotator cuff. So, there's two more surgeries for me to go before I'm put back together after an accident so I'll watch everything again. Love ya Jenny! 😚
