I was so afraid of this block, but JENNY I made it! It came out so beautiful! Thank you!!!!!

[@TerriRomano]

Dearest Jenny, please never quit making these videos for us. Watching you on Friday morning is the kick off to my weekend. You start my day and I only need to work one more long day before I can get started on a new project.

[@judybatts1348]

I'm self taught and since I've been watching your videos, I have learned so much and tackled blocks I never thought I could make. You explain things so well and something's I just couldn't get, I'll watch you and it just clicks. Thank you for being such a wonderful teacher.

[@xanora24]

Hello from overseas! I just love Jenny, she is so quick, so good explained, it's delightful to watch her with the morning coffee! Even my kids, despite the fact they don't know a word on English, they have fun with her " look, mumy, look, it's like magic with fabric!"

[@dianemotley]

I have my morning coffee with her every Friday morning, as well, in southwest Florida :)

[@susanbruce805]

Me too in Manitoba, Canada

[@shelleyross4997]

with a glass of wine Friday after work :)

[@nancystorer4675]

Love the girls working making 3 different quilt out same design . Ohio loves ya

[@vanceandbonnieneuberger8881]

Checking is better than picking; finished is better than perfect! 😁

[@ghostlyrose8946]

"I found it on the internet, so we know it's true!" Love you, Jenny! I choked on my coffee when you said that!

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Make sure you keep an extra cup of coffee and a cloth nearby... never know when Jenny will say something hilarious!

[@cherylp.3347]

Another winner! Thanks

[@angelasouster]

I've only been sewing a couple of weeks I love your videos .

[@momgrandma5496]

Jenny can make fabric behave. 😳 🤣 Jenny, always appreciate your approach, making blocks and quilts easier to put together. Thanks.

[@patriciahomer5342]

Watched this again to refresh my memory & you know, I love watching it anyway! 🥰

[@maryrichardskallman]

You’ve done it again, Jenny! A classic block, made chain-piecing easy!

[@kimmenuckles3926]

Jenny is funny and fun. At 4 am I watched this. Beautiful spring look and another easy pattern

[@dkhayden1]

I love the machines with the thread cut you are using now.

[@loraineleuschke4186]

Like an A-line dress, forever classic.

[@holiday-td6hx]

Jenny, (and I know you probably get tired of hearing this EVERY week) but I think your tutorials are the best OUT THERE!! (2nd runner-up is Donna Jordan from Jordan Fabrics...and my 3rd choice is The Crafty Gemini, Vanessa Vargas Wilson) I just can't WAIT to watch the new "FRIDAY tutorial.....I get so excited and happy! Love this idea....and it goes onto my HUGE "TO QUILT" list. TBH, I'll never get all the quilts made on my list! Jenny, do you have any suggestions on how to get all the quilts done on YOUR list? LOL! Love MSQC!!!

[@shirenen8807]

I just LOVE the way Jenny simplified making this "Lemon" Star!!! Thank you Jenny, as always!! ❤️

[@Revfar10]

This star represents West Virginia…where I am from. It’s gorgeous in blue and gold. Thank you Jenny! 💛💙

[@paulasiefert2059]

Excellent, as always!

[@ellenlanda1818]

I love your studio change

[@margm4]

So pretty, Jenny. You make it look so much easier. Thanks for that! I could watch you all day. Your voice is soothing! ☺️❤️🇦🇺

[@cassiewilkins8905]

You always make it easier and doable for us. Thank you. ❤❤

[@joygross]

Your so awesome Jenny.. I love this tutorial. Thank you.

[@jaltenbernd3383]

Just love watching these tutorials, Jenny breaks these down so well

[@audreyainsworth3817]

Love the fabric choice! 😍

[@anicecoe1426]

Jenny, you always come up with such easy and beautiful quilts!

[@belyndamulloy33]

Great video Jenny! Love the ruler, it sure helps squaring those triangles. Great investment.

[@artlajawab7611]

Very beautiful i like this star quilt block

[@karenpresley7101]

I love the block. Thank you so much for showing how to make it. 😊

[@lindagillespie6556]

Such beautiful stars....great easy tutorial! Youre my sunshine ☀️

[@donnaduguay7532]

Love this . Thanks for another great video Jenny

[@Nursedolly1]

Great tutorial, my Lemoyne star came out perfectly, thank you.

[@kathyclayton4318]

Saw this drop before I headed off to bed. Love it. And love the bright, happy colors! After making my blocks for the BOM, i will want to make a whole quilt using only this block, for sure! But first, I must get those slotted trimmers to square them up. Thanks again Jenny for a great tutorial!

[@maryschutte8368]

I so appreciate you going back to classic designs!

[@carmenbailey1560]

Love star blocks. Thanks for sharing 👍❤️😊

[@rekhasreehary282]

Wow jenny your ideas are so awesome🤓. I love all of them. I have also done a lot of quilts following ur instructions. They turned out really well. Keep updating videos please😊

[@terryphelps7456]

Love this quilt!!!!

[@bonnietcreations]

Thank you.... another great video with lots more tips and tricks!!

[@geraldineroach8614]

It’s about time Jenny came up with a double wedding ring quilt

[@holiday-td6hx]

I agree.....Eleanor Burns has a great idea for the Double Wedding Ring, but I am patiently waiting for Jenny &/or her daughters/daughters-in-laws to come up with a Double Wedding Ring Quilt!! I'm sure it will happen someday! :)

[@HRHDMKYT]

Yeah, but the Double Wedding Ring quilt is not really a pre-cut friendly pattern... and way too complex to tackle in a 12-minute video. You're better off taking a class for that pattern, IMO. Good luck!

[@mygeorge1951]

Ms. Jenny, you're awesome! Gracias for this amazing tutorial and FREE pattern.

[@lindalee601]

Love how easy you make each block go together. You've inspired me to try so many blocks that I thought were too complicated.

[@gregoryburnett5517]

Easy way of piecing this. I learned from you today like always. Thank you Jenny for a great tutorial. Sandra B.

[@sushmasingh1167]

Beautiful beautiful great quilt patterns Dear jenny

[@debbietrent3857]

Love the Lemon Star quilt 😍💖 I’ll definitely be trying that! You and I sew alike…no messing around 😂😂😂 although I do cut all of my fabrics…. I didn’t know anything else. I wasn’t educated on the packaging types/sizes/names of precut fabrics 😱… but then again it could be my old school age of 72 yrs..plus watching my grandmas and great grannies quilt….🙏🏼💖💖💖

[@HRHDMKYT]

So lovely!! I like how you showed us the infamous "chain piecing", and the extra tip to make this in quadrants. Your tutorials are always so helpful, Jenny, THANK YOU! And if 4 charm packs make a quilt this big, I'll bet I can make a cute baby quilt with 2 charm packs. Awesome!! ~Diana K. from Hamilton (Ontario, that is) p.s. Congratulations for being highlighted on 'CBS Sunday Morning', MSQC Family. You deserve all the hoopla you all get!!!

[@barbarad7193]

I have watched you make this star several times in other tutorials [doll quilt] but for some reason, it finally clicked with this tutorial. I will be making many many Lemon stars for all kinds of projects. Thank You, Jenny!

[@lindawilson3770]

Love when you give us an easier way to make a quilt! I've got the charm packs just waiting for me to make this one. 😊

[@lovelyday2805]

I love your tutorials Jenny! They are so helpful for ppl like me that aren’t expert quilters. Watching your videos gives me hope that I can actually make something!! Haha! I think I can, I think I can!

[@angelitaradunz6324]

So do I. 🙏🏻

[@joannmccraw7235]

Great minds make great things happen ... so ... tune in to Jenny's Tutorials!

[@saralee820]

I am making Star blocks out of 10" squares right now, from all kinds of left over fabric. Far from perfect but love how these come together. I have to make 9 of these for the size of quilt I have in mind. Love your videos how you put things together.

[@marietteforget7804]

Thanks a million for another great tutorial! You always make it so easy! I love those stars! This perfect ruler you’re using seems like a great tool! 🌸🌸

[@wallywalkabout]

Good evening Good evening again, Mrs Jenny Doan. That Lemon Star quilt is also beautiful. I made those Lemon Star as border's of my Vintage Moment quilt design by Marsha McCloskey which I ordered from the USA years back. They are beautiful. Thnx for showing.

[@yoder1211]

I made this quilt and I love it so much that I’m gonna make another one for my daughter. like Jenny I love star quilts

[@rethamoore4282]

I always love to watch you make this block because each time I do I understand it more. Those colors are GEORGEOUS!! Thanks Jenny !😀🌹

[@susancole5210]

You are an excellent teacher. You make the block construction appear so easy.

[@cindyhappel7376]

Jenny you make me smile!! You should go in the Quilting Hall of Fame. You know many quilting secrets that you are so easy. You make me smile and you make me a better quilter!! God Bless and keep on quilting!!

[@cathynuytten798]

I just saw you on the CBS Morning show today! I was so excited to see you and the family and all your friends that work with you. Getting to Hamilton will be in my future for sure. Your KZbin videos introduced me to quilting and I thank every one at Missouri Star Quilt Company for that!

[@MissouriQuiltCo]

Thanks, Cathy! We were sew excited when we found it it was going to air this weekend, too! Thanks for watching!

[@cathytaylor1203]

This is such a great tutorial, Jenny! I so look forward to making this quilt. Thank you so much for sharing...you are such a great instructor!!! God bless you!!!

[@SewingTimeWithSarah]

Hi Jenny! I admire your work, I think is so beautiful how you put you fabrics together, Just wanted to let you know that I watched your story on CBS, that was VERY inspiring! I agree with you about loving what you do and have passion about it and figure out a different way to do it! You have a lovely family! Hope I get to visit your shop sometime soon 😊 Keep on the good work! Happy sewing ❤️😊👍

[@irenamangone]

Love it Jenny thank you.

[@jackiecheek8396]

[@charlenehicks6292]

[@catherinecearns9002]

4 of these blocks with boarders would be a fabulous table runner

[@ATAW3RA]

I thought quilting was for old people . This is sooo mee ♥️😍😘 you're amazing Jenny !

[@babeyblu06]

Love stars! Will add to my list of quilts to do.

[@carolhebgin9472]

I have always loved this star block! Easier than it looks

[@bwktlcn]

I just finished my Block of the Month Star, and was wondering what a whole quilt of them would look like. Just absolutely beautiful!

[@lorenaaguilar6116]

[@lindafitzgerald4505]

[@samanthafederico8278]

Love this!

[@Sharon-pb7so]

[@marietteforget7804]

Thanks! It’s gorgeous and you always show us the easy way! 🌸🌸

[@pammcdowell8635]

I love this block and you always make it look so easy! I just need more time in my day!! Lol

[@katiemiller5927]

I am just now quilting with a pattern I did with this fabric - it's SO pretty, would highly recommend it! The colors are just gorgeous and the fabric is super cute. I love this pattern, will be doing this soon!

[@janolson4579]

I absolutely LOVE making these. They are so easy!!

[@cynthiaaden3270]

Love this quilt and so easy to make wow! we even painted a barn quilt In this pattern!!

[@DS-ky9dl]

The quilt is lovely, and the fabric choice is perfect. I love both the colors and prints, they are bright and cheerful and are perfect for this pattern.

[@MyRowdyBoss]

I have been looking for a video that explains this in an easy way and I finally found it thanks to you, Jenny! Thank you!

[@karenweiman8036]

LOVE this one! Thanks for making this quilt look so fun and easy! I love your tutorials.

[@luvtoknit]

Omg...thank u so much for this wonderful tutorial. Have always luved this block but didnt think i could make it...now i can. The fabric choice u used is perfect.

[@pabeolig8755]

What a beautiful backing fabric!

[@hildiborkowski4436]

I had a lot of left over 10 inch squares, both white and blues. It was enough to make 20 stars (4 rows of 5 stars), so my quilt is a bit smaller but it works for me! Great tutorial! I just added two borders - one thinner, one at 6 inches.

[@vanginmi]

Question. I just starting this quilt. What does each star block finish to? 10.25 or 10.5 before sewing all the stars together?

[@marybethstimeforpaper]

@@vanginmi I have the same question, did you ever figure it out

[@vanginmi]

@@marybethstimeforpaper I went with scant. And didnt trim and eased all my seams. Also iron seams open for bulk in the middle. 😉

[@deaneclark6469]

So beautiful! I would love to learn how to sew! Thank you for sharing! 😊

[@denisepineda1788]

I love, love, love this quilt. I’ll be adding this to my list of quilts I want to do. The Lori Holt fabric really sets it off great. I love her fabric lines!

[@Haylo545]

Thank you so much for sharing this adorable block. I am making this one for my niece, she will be born this June ❤️

[@kathleenk7726]

Woohoo! Going to Hampton, VA quilt show today.I'll be searching for fabric for this one. Thanks Jenny!

[@lisastreasures]

Lovely and so well explained. Thanks Jenny 💙

[@angelastoutenger7944]

Beautiful quilt! Love the star block. Wish I could sew without pinning. It would certainly save time.

[@ultraczj7196]

I love your tutorial... they are so easy to follow... Thank you.. Merci... from Québec City

[@cynthiasvetich6398]

Just watched you on CBS Sunday morning! What a wonderful surprise to see you, hear your story, & get an inside peek to your shop/business.

[@jand3793]

I have three hard to find charm packs of Morris Holiday metallic and have now found my pattern to make a Christmas throw. Thank you! Beautifully done as always.

[@belindasmith8790]

I just love your videos. You make every quilt so easy. Please keep up the good work. Many thanks

[@hoosiergrandma7640]

This is a beautiful quilt. Thank you.

[@angelitaradunz6324]

I'll definitely give it a try. I'm a beginner and that will be my first star. Thank you for such a great tutorial. A hug from Brazil ( here we love hugging 😁).

[@LoriB58]

Just finished my Lemon Star using Tula Pink -True colors… off to the long arm, thank you for making this difficult looking patter so easy to put together

[@sylviaparnell6736]

Great idea to follow-up the BOM #1 with a Friday video. Great way to reach out to everyone even those who are not subscribing. Never thought I would be able to make this star. Enjoyed the background story of LeMoyne Star.

[@kquitberg4297]

I’ve made this before but didn’t make the stars in quarters and so it was much more confusing than it should have been. This is going to simplify things so much. That’s how you know it’s genius-it is was there all the time and you just didn’t see it.

[@leemager128]

This is a great quilt idea. Looks easy too.

[@ninaspalace]

Just love this method for this 🌟 star. Also the batch sewing and chain piecing I find is very relaxing - lots of time for dreaming, without the usual eek I have seen the wrong bits together. Thank you Jenny.

[@kevinmonceaux2101]

There's just something about star patterns. It's great to have an eight-pointed star technique for the y-seam impaired. I've watched Edyta Sitar's beginner eight-pointed star tutorial using y-seams a couple of times. I'll have to give both techniques a try and see which one works for my brain.

[@budoneof15]

I just did my first block on the BOM club. It was the same. Jenny you make it so look so easy.

[@nullmcgrooder70]

I just finished this quilt this August and I used Mackinaw Island fabric. It was loads of fun and kept me busy making a full sized quilt.

[@sandyzeskind6245]

What is Mackinaw Island fabric? Also from MI

[@bwktlcn]

I made Jenny’s Allstar quilt. Just for grins, I made one of these blocks in March 2020 and set it aside. I just did another after using quilting to deal with the last year. It’s amazing how much better I’ve gotten in a year. Don’t give up!
