Make an "Around The Square" Quilt with Jenny Doan of Missouri Star (Video Tutorial)

[@sandratymich816]

I just don't know when I sit down with knots in my stomach . The tutorial begins and I settle right down . Thank you Jenny Many Blessings.

[@marylynnlucas3918]

I think, this block would make a wonderful border for a quilt. Using the back ground fabric of the quilt to make it look like it is on going. Love Friday morning for the new quilt tutorial....love them. Thank you. for being a huge part in my quilting adventure.

[@lindawheeler9450]

Thank you I like the snugly on the back and I was just wondering if you use batting with that thank you for your reply

[@denisepineda1788]

What a cute idea! I like leaving the 1/2 inch. It gives you plenty of room.

[@Jalyced22]

Love this look and have the perfect fabric for it. I’m so excited!

[@DiVaIve]

That quilt is so so happy and so so cute. The colors really make it! Thanks for the tuturial.

[@jankalonick4771]

I LOVE THIS QUILT!!! I have several surgeries coming this year so need to get some quilts cut ready to sew. All the cutting will be done and I can sit and so something beneficial. Thank you from the bottom of my heart Jenny!!!

[@NannaLiz]

JanKalonick, good luck with your surgeries and keep on quilting!

[@jankalonick4771]

@@NannaLiz Thank you so very much.

Bought the triangle when this video first came out. Have the perfect fat quarter bundle. Going to try it with really high contrast prints-no solid. Wish me luck!

[@jwstanley2645]

Thanks for the video. What a happy block! I would use the lines on the mat to help me eyeball the centers.

[@patriciaguevara8793]

This one is to die for! (Figuratively speaking) One of my daughters is going to love it!!

Oh Jenny, this pattern makes my heart sing... Well done! 💜🤍💚

[@Kitchensurprise]

So cute...love the cuddle backing

[@kimmenuckles3926]

When I first saw the quilt, I thought it was made up of pinwheels. Love the idea. Now I need to get the triangle with my next order. (I already ordered today and don’t want to add shipping again in one day.) I love how you all share such amazing ideas.

[@penny9157]

Oh so cute and what fun to make Thanks Jenny you did it again !

[@momgrandma5496]

Purple is my color! The not-quite-perfect look of each block, your approach to cutting them down, appeals to my math brain. 🔢 I always enjoy the projects you and Misty share with us.

[@lydiamashcka4362]

That is so cute, I think I will try making it with green Christmas and white Christmas fabrics.

[@buzzyanderson4131]

Lydia Mashcka I love that idea

[@lindawilms7894]

Lydia Mashcka red, white and blue for a patriotic look would be nice too.

[@pywagner]

Jenny, I just watched this tutorial for the 2nd time and just have to say, I love how you make everything sound like so much fun! I want to make all the quilt designs you present, but I'm sure I'll never get to them. Thanks for bringing joy to my quilting! :-D

[@sophiafatcat]

Gorgeous fabric and I love the pattern! I succumbed and bought it all! LOL!!!

This would make a great "picnic" quilt, too in 30's fabric!

[@marylynngranado7006]

Love this quilt, I have an 60 degree traingle ruler , it this the same as the ruler you are using

[@ferrelli1001]

It’s not 60 degree triangle. It’s an isosceles triangle with 2 angles on the bottom equal (each being 65 degrees) and the top angle is 50 degrees.

[@singe0diabolique]

That is an amazing quilt, and a wonderful tutorial! I have GOT to get me a sewing machine.

I think this would be an amazing quilt to send a teenager off to college with, maybe in a smaller size, since dorm room beds are ridiculously narrow.

[@debrarevay7493]

The quilt is beautiful but I can't do that much cutting. I have really bad arthritis and just can't cut as much as I use to. Thank you Jenny for the tutorial.

[@lanellehatcher561]

I know that sound your brain makes when looking at too many lines. Mine does it too. ACK! Awesome quilt! BTW... I ordered your little template and just got it. This will be my next quilt to make! :)

[@helenreidt3315]

I love this one. It would even be nice 'scrappy'

[@karencondon4934]

I would make it scrappy for a vintage look.

[@laris2328]

You should do an Irish chain with this block. It'd be great.

[@kimmaynard338]

Love it ... how do you think it will look with the large triangle ?

[@jennydoan57]

Kim Maynard oh that would be cool!!

[@holiday-td6hx]

You could make this from Charm Packs too I suppose? I like this, but not a fan of purples....but my younger sister is and I think I am going to make something for her, possibly for next Christmas as a gift. There's VERY few quilt tutorials that MSQC does that I don't like. I like the pattern, but want to try something in a different color for my own bedroom. Thanks for another awesome Tutorial Jenny & MSQC Crew! Great job!

[@D8271]

if you pause the video at 9:44 and see the way squares are laying on the mat, don`t you think they could make a bigger block, perhaps hexagonal star, so you could lay them differently and mix the two?

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Try it out and let us know, D8271!

[@MagicHeide]

Cute pattern and lovely colors (colors!). It looks intimidating but you made it seems easy. It was interesting to see you square up without using one of your handy tools. Is there a name for your little triangle template?

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

That is a small simple wedge, MagicHeide. Hope this helps!

[@adawwwu]

Can you show us how to use the serger for a simple project, e.g. apron or tote bag...etc

[@mudbunnie1]

So beautiful!!!! I want to make this quilt, but I don’t have that triangle wedge template. What other kind/size can I substitute for it? Thanks.

[@MrsGraphiteGal]

The angles are really weird numbers of you check their website but I think you'd be ok at with a 60° triangle ruler. Your need to do a practice block though to get the right sizes to work. I know when I do similar on EQ, you get some really odd angles, I either print a template for those of change it to more friendly numbers of I'm doing lots of blocks.

[@funinthesun671]

Love this! Also Love your baby quilt with the cuddle on the back! What batting did you use in the baby quilt? I made one with cuddle on the back with 80/20 batting, and it’s SO heavy! Looking for something else. Thanks💖

[@bellaannecgoff2335]

❤️❤️❤️

[@mary-annz.reynolds7778]

I do love this quilt. What was the small template you used?

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

That is the Small Simple Wedge template, Mary-Ann!

[@caroleblock6559]

I love this! How big is the baby quilt you showed?

[@joysummers6220]

How do you stabilize the cuddle fabric for I know it is stretchy? I really like the quilt I downloaded the Pdf.

[@jennydoan57]

Joy Summers the Cuddle fabric we use only has a one way stretch so when you load it on the long arm, make sure your stretch is side to side and not top to bottom and just be careful not to stretch.

[@T_i_n_a_]

😍

[@sophiafatcat]

I just started this, finally...and I have to laugh at the 'quick and easy' part...my brain has not yet learned how to lay out the cut pieces to sew the blocks correctly! Right now it is taking me an hour to get a pair cut, sewn, trimmed, sewn, etc! I sure hope that improves! I figure it is just helping keep my brain exercised! Still love the pattern and the fabrics...

[@1705nina]

I have s lot of triangle rulers, could I use one of them instead of the triangle used in the film ?

[@DH-qz2so]

You probably could use a different triangle template, but you would need to consider 1) the 'degree' of the triangle that you have may change the look and 2) the top of the completed triangle is 1/2 inch away from the top of the completed block for that 'floating' look

[@hollyminer1164]

I, too, am wondering if I can get by without another template/ruler. There is a reply about the size of ruler in another comment. The base is 3.75" and the height is 4.5". It would have been nice to know the angle too, but I am going to review my triangles to see if I have something. Probably not as the common size is 45 degrees.

[@kimmitchell714]

Just measured my 45 degree diamond ruler and I believe it would work. Going to give it a try.

[@nicoledickel4360]

Beautiful quilt!! What size is the triangle template? I see it has 1/4 seam allowance marking so that’s helpful with the project. How much would shipping be if I need to buy one. Thanks 😊

[@helenreidt3315]

I love this quilt but what deg angle is the triangle ? None of mine seem to fit

[@kimberlyfuse1162]

What kind of sewing machine is that? I love it!

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

That would be a Baby Lock Jubilant, Kimberly. Hope this helps!

[@leagossard3735]

What kind of template did you use?

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Could you appliqué the triangle on and elimate a lot of cutting and sewing?

[@jennydoan57]

Linda Lee you sure could

[@jewelwescott1564]

**What is the name of the quilt in the background? Looks like a 16 patch???

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Hi, Jewel! Not sure which quilt you're referring to, as the only one in the background on this one is the Around the Square quilt. Could you mean one on one of our other videos?

[@nick.degrasse5162]

,I love ALL the tutorials but I am OLD FASHIONED. I need paper. I need real patterns. Is there ANYWHERE I can order them. also I am 75. I have sewed since high school. I have never made a quilt. I'm so excited but totally stumped.

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Hi, Nick! All our patterns are available in paper form from our website, www.missouriquiltco.com. Check them out!

[@quiltingbirdie]

Hi! I dont have a small ruler, what size did you cut the triangle?

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Hi, quiltingbirdie! The small simple wedge is a triangle with a 3.75" base and is about 4.5" tall. Hope this helps!

[@sandym472]

Beautiful. Where can I purchase an iron like Jenny’s

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Hi, Sandy! That's an Oliso Pro Smart iron. Here's the link: www.missouriquiltco.com/shop/browse/oliso-irons

[@jennifermaddock4382]

For the trimming step, it would be much better to use a 6 inch square ruler and place it on top of the triangle block. That way you can centre the triangle and you have much more stability with cutting as you will be cutting off the edge while holding onto the block, not cutting off the block while holding onto the edge. Great quilt. TFS.

[@Tanya1576q]

What size is the baby quilt?

[@christypoos9728]

Love the fabric, but makes me way to dizzy lol.

[@loraineleuschke4186]

I really like this pattern but I have never been able to get my brain around making that block size up correctly.

[@nonniepalmer8676]

I turn my mat over to the blank side for most of my cutting... I never cut with the lines as they are totally inaccurate.

[@diannaolson2848]

[@lindawheeler9450]

Very pretty. In the baby quilt did you use any batting thank you

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Hi, Linda! Yes we did, this baby quilt was just like the large quilt... baby sized!

[@ninablackman8752]

Beautiful quilt but for me it would probably end up as a UFO. Easy but looks a bit tedious.

[@3000RP]

I was thinking the same, though if the block was bigger, it might not be. Or just the baby size. I have couple layer cakes that have 4 of each ... I might just enlarge the whole bock from 5inch to 10inch starting squares

[@jennydoan57]

We do have a large triangle...so that would be interesting!!
