[@dianneeparish3989]

Well Jenny you’ve done it. I’m licking my fingers like you. My daughter said why are you liking your fingers….lol I blamed you. Im working on the English paper piecing. I started 11 am ate little watermelon, was just on a big roll, I made Hexie galore, before I knew it,it was 12:45am. I did eat a sweet potato, l couldn’t stop, l love it….thank you so much for the tutorial. I really enjoy you tutorials.

[@judymoen1736]

OMG at this rate I’ll have to live to 110 just to be able to make all the beautiful quilt tops Jenny and the gang make. Such gorgeous colors too, but blue is my favorite.

[@lynnehrmantraut9167]

Good goal!

Me, too!

Boy, do I know THAT feeling!!

[@alexandershepard3534]

sorry to be so off topic but does any of you know a method to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow lost my account password. I would love any tricks you can give me!

[@debbiestallard694]

That dark fabric is really sumptuous!

[@MagicHeide]

I love the way you are showing us how to do these old fashioned (traditional) blocks! Keep em coming please!

[@zorina831]

Never seen hourglass made that way. Looks like magic lol

[@Stoffmonster467]

Yes, it's great - and I got this week samples of tablecloth fabric, 200 pieces, about 8 inches big... what a great use for them!

This would look fabulous in sunset colors to give it a Southwest flair.

[@dustykeele]

@Nanna Liz Yes, and with ombre fabrics!

[@lindsayschilling8707]

Yes!

[@sharonrimsza7960]

Oh yes!

[@hillarykbd]

Yes! was thinking to do this with the Sunglow instead of the lagoon

[@vernieplummer5148]

Yay today after you said set the seams you set all the rest! I love your videos. As a new quilter you have taught me so much, and entertained me as well. Thanks for all the hard work you do.

[@ckam86]

If she forgets, it seems she isn’t in the habit of setting seams. Maybe it’s actually not necessary?

[@MrsGraphiteGal]

Good pressing is essential but I confess I don't set the seams and haven't noticed any difference to be honest.

[@The1chickie]

Jenny you so clever. I love how made the block look like it was on point. Thank you

[@deannacollar6543]

Jenny, I noticed the guide that you have on your machine, does it come in a roll? I have never seen it before.

[@beverleybrowning3480]

Deanna Collar Yes it does. I purchased some & it's called "Diagonal Seam Tape"

[@marytillman372]

Great idea setting the size of the border blocks. Super smart!

[@sandratorres9635]

Jenny, this is another fresh new design. Thank you for great inspiration to start a new quilt project for a new year.

[@chrislittebrant5235]

Oh Jenny, I love how you made those quarter square triangles so fast. I’m happy I saw that. I love this quilt. Thank you so much. ❤️👏❤️ Chris-Raleigh NC

[@zoannewilcox6112]

I really like that this has a couple of my favorite "old blocks" in it. I am currently in the middle of making the Courtship quilt. Excited to finish it and send you a picture. Thank you Jenny. We need your pleasant personality so much right now. Thank you for sharing smiles. God Bless

[@janepeiffer6477]

Thanks for the great idea. You look great and your sunshine attitude is so inspiring during this drab days of winter.

[@lindaeselunas1639]

I love this quilt! Jenny , you make everything look effortless.

[@debbiebrugman4543]

Love it! “The bias is not my enemy”. Can’t wait to make this. Thank you Jenny and your pattern team.

[@vickichandler5872]

Boy howdy! Somebody is brilliant... to figure out how to make those 4 hourglasses from the 2 different colored 10" squares is just amazing to me. Love the quilt by the way. Thanks for the instruction, too. Blessings to y'all.

[@MsAmberSunshine]

So clever. Thank you Jenny and all behind the scenes support teams. Appreciate you.

[@lorettaclinton6604]

Love this method of making 4 patches and ultimately hourglass blocks!

[@marylynnlucas3918]

Thank you Jenny for another beautiful quilt tutorial. Friday's are the best day of the week.

[@TheMelanieGrace]

Wowee!! That was an amazing way to make an hourglass!!! Thank you as always for your tutorials!! 🥂

[@lizacostello3577]

Always a joy to watch. Thank you, Jenny.

[@shawnaleewhitney6630]

Love that line of fabric!

[@graysonnelson6333]

Brilliant! Jenny, you continue to amaze & inspire me every Friday with your creativity! Thank you!

[@anotherblonde]

Fabulous ! Good to have you back Jenny. I finished my first complete quilt yesterday, using your binding tutorial.

[@lindsayschilling8707]

Congrats, Tina! Welcome to the world of quilting; sew many quilts, sew little time❣🥰

[@SoulsJourney]

I'm always amazed at how fast Jenny gets these done. I'd still be measuring 3 hours later! 😂 Love the colors in this one.

[@joannebock2885]

Souls Journey me too

[@susanmei9980]

Hi Jenny, I think a great video you could make instead of another quilt, is a reference video of how to make all the different kinds of half-square triangles you’ve taught us over the years, and what size they turn out, and when to use each different method. For example, the easy eight, as well as the new method you showed us today. That way, if we’re designing our own quilt, we could just go to the reference video, instead of having to watch dozens of other quilt videos to try to figure which one would be best in a particular instance. Just an idea, but I think it would be great. You could do others too, on the other different kinds of short-cuts you’ve shown us. 😊🌹 Thank you!

[@brendaclayton3552]

Maybe Natalie could do this in her videos

[@jhwilliams6550]

Misty could do that on a live so people could ask questions. There’s also a lot of charts on the web for the different ways and sizes.

[@lindsayschilling8707]

That is a GREAT idea!!!

[@littledrabbitry9410]

Fantastic idea! Yes, please do that.

[@anneirenej]

So i am always amazed at the magic of how you sew it and get the final quilt square. Every time! Love this it may be my next quilt I just semi retired last week and i am looking toward fully retiring before the end of 2021. It will be quilt city at my house.

[@emilou9654]

Jenny this is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for another well explained tutorial 💕

Such a beautiful quilt, and so easy to make!

[@rachaelpooplard]

Making this! I made one block and it was quite wonky; so I keep my center shoefly pieces all at 2 and 1/2” because I think I use a big fat juicy seam allowance. Jenny and co: I love you, thank you sew sew sew much🥰🥰🥰

[@celiashell8667]

This is a beautiful quilt. I love the colors

Love it! Thank you Jenny for making it easy for us to follow. Fabulous!!

[@barbvallet7659]

Blooper alert - at approx 10:14 Jenny is sewing the 2.5" blocks. The close up shows the white on top. They pan away and she's sewing the blocks with the color on top. Lol. Glad to know they're not perfect. I love this quilt even though I'm not a big fan of the shoo fly block. May try this with black background.

[@carolbaker7279]

You make it look so effortless! I love it!

[@laurenmccollim2774]

I just made this quilt - it was so much fun! Thank you for the great tutorial!

[@laris2328]

I love it when they cut up the layer cake into charms. That means I can use my collection of charm packs that I try to get when they come up on the Daily Deal. Even if I don't have 4 from same line, if they're close, it'll work. Lori Holt, Darlene Zimmerman, and Me & My Sister all have similar colors and motifs that'll work well together. Can't wait to try this one.

[@carolmarshall4341]

Jenny, you taught me to sew and are the reason for this hobby. I can’t seem to catch up! I am currently starting Natalie’s calico cats!! Not sure when I will do this one!!

[@cleotaylor1860]

The quilt is just beautiful. One day will you explain the sizes between a full, queen and king size quilt.

HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE HER DEMO !!!

[@angelastoutenger7944]

What a great way to make hourglass blocks!

[@HRHDMKYT]

Absolute lovely!! I predict this will be a very popular pattern, because this colour scheme is very popular. It appears this could be made scrappy with fat quarters of colour/print and 3.25 yards of background. Thanks for another great tutorial. 😁

[@melanezoe]

Well done, Jenny! As usual.

Mary, I've got the same layer cake (I Love Edyta Sitar's fabrics)! This quilt will be beautiful in those fabrics; great idea❣

[@ckam86]

I’m trying to figure out what to use. I didn’t expect her to use a layer cake because it looks like she only used a couple of colors. I may try it with yardage!!

[@maryschiff9580]

@@ckam86 you’ll have more control over color and could potentially strip piece where it makes sense.

[@kimramirez3725]

Another awesome quilt that I can't wait to make! I can see this in so many colors, I was also thinking how You could use an hourglass in place of that shoo fly (not sure how that would affect the fabric requirements though) My brain is in overdrive with the " What if" factor LOL . After watching the Ohio Star triple play I had to try Your 4 patch hourglass method and I love it. It worked every time, so fun (Natalie also shared a way to make flying geese that is terrific). You always Bless and inspire me with Your tutorials. You continue to keep quilting fresh & Fun :) Thank You MSQC. Happy New Year :)

[@kimramirez3725]

Ps setting the seam makes picking out a mistake so much easier :)

[@juliamandeville7503]

I watched that Ohio Star Triple Play and in watching this I was thinking a nice variation would be to make 1/2 the blocks to have the light at the sides and the dark in the corner. :-)

[@ruthmaxwell60]

No that’s a great idea 💡👌. 🐢

[@kathleenlange3999]

The diagonal seam tape is one of the best timesavers I’ve ever used.

[@carolegroom5161]

Is it possible for each block could be a different colour. Love this one.

[@carolechisum6582]

Hi Jenny, At around 8:20 in you say you are pressing (the hourglasses) open. I get a bit confused - when you say you are pressing them open, I imagine you are pressing the seam open; here you are pressing the seam to one side. Is there a way to clarify the language? Thank you for all your tutorials and those with your famiy! I find them really helpful.
