I love making these pillow cases. I do French seam them because I don't like the raveling. Lovely little quilt I love it! Jenny is the bomb!

[@TheLcartwright]

11pm time for bed...ooh! Brand new video, who needs sleep anyway?!?

[@patstrawhouse4005]

My thought exactly!😂🤣😂

[@irenelik9099]

Midnight at my place 🙈

[@rosemarykriegel3226]

I watched at 3:00 am after sewing in my sewing room for several hours. Thank you, Jenny!

[@jhgaskill]

You look great. It is always fun to watch your tutorials. I just realized that you look much thinner, beautiful.

[@lauriedutcher5676]

Such a cute quilt. Now I know how I will use my packs of five inch squares!

[@AnitaSouthall]

And as precuts are in short supply in my town, also can cut up 10 inch layer cakes to get similar results

[@teripranger2824]

Love this patteren !!!' Thank you Doan family.

[@onegaynerd]

I've noticed the "what you'll need" portions of videos lately have been changing. Whoever thought of this on, it's the absolute best. I hope this format is used on ALL videos going forward - It shows the traditional list on the white background for a moment, then Jenny lays out each item so you know exactly what is used where (no more wondering what yardage is border vs background!). Seriously, whoever formatted this one needs a pay on the back, it's perfect.

[@mjp5129]

Yes, this is great. If ur reviewing, you can right to that portion.

[@Deeloveshergoldies]

Pretty quilt and a pretty new ring Jenny💕

Wow! You are looking good. Svelte! And the quilt is pretty, too!

[@ellenthompson4441]

I like the way you laid out all the tools and fabric first; also showing a finished block in the beginning is a big help.

[@ccomtaruk3289]

[@mjp5129]

I’ve made these pillowcases before. It is fun and they are so cute. Gonna make some more. Thanks for the refresh. Love the quilt. Really pretty and so springy. Great tutorial, as usual.

[@anitakinnear6447]

Hello from Herefordshire in England, Enjoying all your tutorials thank you Jenny, keeping us all going in these times I can’t wait to come and visit MSQC in Hamilton , love to you all!

[@lilacenterfitt3879]

I like the idea of gifting a quilt inside a pillow case. Thanks!

[@terridean4784]

My favorite pillowcase method. It’s the only one I make.

[@thewaldens90]

Another beautiful creation! Thanks for the time breakdowns on the different steps. So helpful for referencing again. Was great to see you and Ron making a guest appearance on your friends' KZbin video while camping in your RV!! Love that you had your featherweight with you!

[@seasidestitches615]

Beautiful, beautiful quilt Jenny. Thanks again for your simplicity of instructions, and your continued inspiration!

[@lorraineadkins3743]

Great pillow case

[@sandilee1184]

Jenny, Natalie, Misty and Liz I love you ladies. Jenny I don't think I could sew as fast as you. I love MSQC

[@maureenabramson4224]

Great tutorial, as usual and lovely fabric. Love the pillowcase! Thanks for all you do Jenny and everyone at MSQC!

[@lindawilson3770]

This happy fabric was perfect for this quilt. Can't wait to make this one! Thanks, Jenny 😊

[@marty2385]

I enjoyed having the kids make pillowcases during summer camp! Because there were many kids, I reserved this project for Grade 4 and up. The older kids really like a project that is "more advanced" than what the younger kids. are doing.

[@janesprague1]

I love ideas for using my charm packs. When I first started my quilting journey about five years ago, I bought scads of charm packs, but quickly graduated into strips, fat quarters, and yardage. Needless to say (but I will anyway!), I have a lot of charm packs that need a project - and now they do! Thank you so much, Jenny! As always, you've shared another adorable project!

[@ninagillenwater4502]

No one is as creative as Jenny!! I just love watching these videos, to see how she is going to create something new and different! I love the MAGIC of Jenny's creations!!! Thank You So Much, Missouri Star Quilt Company, for making these wonderful tutorials!!!

[@tigerseye99p]

I have always known this method as the burrito pillow case...love them

[@ruthhilsdorf3210]

That’s what I’ve known them as too. I prefer to do the French seam just because there are no raw edges anywhere. It’s just 1 little extra step but does make a better finish.

[@AnitaSouthall]

I was thinking it looks like sewing a sausage

[@JesusisKing222]

I have never seen this technique before! Amazing that it worked! 😂

[@elaineekberg113]

Thanks for the mantra!💞

[@rebeccamills4673]

Love the quilt and pillowcase! The fabric is so cute. I have made several pillowcases for my grandkids, using the "burrito method" and French seams. They turned out very cute. Thanks for another great tutorial!

[@tracyparris-volkner2721]

Lovely tutorial Jenny and the crew x

[@mariod7473]

This is a prize winning video, love the presentation of the supplies.....excellent photography and great directing.

[@judywaters3924]

Wow! There are endless possibilities with pinwheels! I love who this looks! Thanks, Jenny!

[@auntiear126]

Pretty side up, always the pretty side up 🤗🌺🌺

[@adrienegrzenia4607]

Pillow cases as gift bags---reusable and fun way to wrap gifts.

[@zerozero9085]

And the Frolic Quilt layout makes little multi-directional arrows, too! So pretty and your directions are so well done. Thank you!

[@adaisygarden7535]

Love that you included the fun pillowcase tutorial! Great idea!

[@laurajeanhodge1976]

Thank you so much such a beautiful quilt and your a awesome teacher!

[@joannes4792]

Beautiful ! Love the fabric ! So happy and cheerful 😄Thank you Jenny 🙏❤️

[@kelleymckell]

Thanks Jenny! You always make it make sense. Even I can do this one!

[@debrarevay7493]

Love this quilt and I'm so glad you showed us how to make the pillowcase. I will make it bigger by using a layer cake and cutting it in fourths and make two pillowcases for my granddaughter. Love those fabrics.

[@memere4137]

You really are a wonderful teacher and fun to listen to. Thank you from Innisfil, Ontario Canada 🇨🇦.

[@paml2642]

Love both the quilt and the bonus pillowcase! I had no idea they were so easy to make! Thanks Jenny!

Such a pretty quilt! Thank you for sharing this!

[@lindaann7465]

Excellent! You are an wonderful educator and pack so much instruction into every sentence.

[@robertaarrowsmith2860]

Beautiful, fun quilt. Love, love, love the world's easiest pillow case. Great idea to put the quilt inside it. As always, great tutorial, Jenny. 😍❤

[@penny9157]

what a cute quilt and love the fabric so fun and spring happy !

[@dawndecesare2177]

I love all of your tutorials. I love your easy techniques that make stunning blocks. The pillow case tutorial was awesome as well.

[@Amal2365]

Pretty quilt

[@janisplatt7876]

Beautiful quilt. The pattern is perfect for my 5 inch scraps.

[@vickichandler5872]

Fabulous tutorial! I think this colorway was so fun and happy. The format was exeptional, too. Jenny, you and your team have become excellent at producing your tutorials. Thank you for sharing your expertise and smile with us. Like, Hadley Wooten had commented earlier, I can see it in the red pinwheel with blue blocks... I really do love red, white, and blue quilts. They just tug at my heart... kinda patriotic that way. Blessings to all ya'll.

[@grannyprepper1181]

Just found your channel. 🎉🎉 I saw the interview Jenny did while quilting in the camper. I’ve been sewing for over 50 years, but some what new to quilting. I live in Arizona, but I’m originally from Missouri. I will be watching your channel ❤️

[@carolmorgano7158]

Love it beautiful colours thanks jenny👍👏🥰🌷

[@dawnsnyder216]

Very happy looking quilt,. Amazes me just a little change makes the block different. Can't wait to make one

[@sieniligtenberg2421]

Love the colours, Easter 🐣

[@debb2506]

I love this quilt pattern I make pillowcases too. I base all the top raw edges together before I roll it up. Makes it easier to catch all the layers when doing the top seam. I like the french seams method to finish the side and bottom seams. No raw edges ! Your videos are the best. Thanks

[@BrendaH289]

Thank you ♥️ I love the pillow case

[@zonawilson6245]

Great quilt, and a great pillowcase too! Love the bright and happy fabric, love the clever checkerboard sashing, and that's a pretty tricky pillowcase technique. Nice!

[@L0STinNARNIA]

Thank you for the wonderful tutorial! Also, I am glad to see the old "Here's what you need" screen back - I find it easier to follow :) Beautiful work as always!

[@rebeccamulkern1051]

The pillow case tutorial is amazing!!! Thank you Jenny!

[@sharonpowell650]

Thank you for adding the info about the backing. This is one of the “quilting mysteries” for me-piece the backing or search for a wide backing that will work!
