How To Make A Goodnight Irene Quilt + Bonus Pillowcase - Free Quilting Tutorial

[@suefarely2731]

I love it when Jenny and Natilie are together.

[@donnalewis2858]

Love jenny and Natalie! I blame jenny for my quilting addiction! Started watching in 2018 and haven't stopped!

[@cartersanz8648]

I am so grateful for you making quilting so approachable all those years ago. Your tutorial’s are what made me have the confidence to sew a quilt when I was a new mom. Now I’m obsessed till this day.

[@pattistrain4071]

I love how Natalie smiles at her mother!

[@linda1909]

You need to read Jenny's book. It will explain (I think) the close bond they have

[@carolynlewis1264]

I loved the book.

[@Kim-tl4wz]

I thought the same thing. Precious! They're always your babies 😊

[@sunshineandwarmth]

I love how, if it weren't for the age difference, they would be twins!😂

[@HidingPlainSight]

yes she's 💞 precious... they're so much alike

[@ConniePeck1957]

Love that handy way of making 4-patch!

[@lindalee601]

What a great quilt pattern and double bonus pillowcase. Thank you, ladies ❤❤

[@maggiehall8066]

The quilt is beautiful but more stunning is Natalie. You look amazing.

[@Talk-to-the-Pugs]

No way that pillow case was that easy. Thank you.

[@laris2328]

Yes it really is that easy. Even with the French Seams, it's easy.🎉

[@debralucca7527]

@@laris2328 I agree. It is that easy. I got together with a few of my sewing buddies and we made 50 pillowcases for the million pillowcase challenge a few years ago. It was a lot of fun and for a good cause! Give it a try, I'm sure you will agree. ❤️

[@cwillis2033]

New pillow cases for all the beds ! 😆

[@Imjetta7]

It really is, I’ve done them.

[@sandracedar368]

P.S. Natalie, You look beautiful! I am so proud of your dedication to yourself & your family. You are definitely beautiful🤗

[@deborahdillard7761]

Your 15 years of favorites would make a great book 😳🙏

[@andreazams4995]

the way you made the scrappy 4 patches blew my mind! I have never seen that technique before! I am still recovering from the shock!

[@sandybruce9092]

I never would have thought to do that! This is why we all love Jenny! And the girls, of course!!!

[@birgitstork5228]

Sewing with Jenny would bee stressful and so joyful in the same time for me ❤😂

[@57Weaver]

Your so silly...at the same time.

[@candacecarroll42]

I had never seen the 4-patch made like this!!! I have so much red, white and blue scraps left over from previous projects that I can’t wait to make one of these quilts!! Thanks for this valuable lesson!!

[@audreyfleming3344]

The pillowcase makes a great storage case for the quilt!

[@annwitten4359]

I keep forgetting that we can make a pillowcase in order to store our precious quilts!!

[@lindastevens8392]

Best part of the video was when you told us what quilting motif you used to quilt it! I recently had a conversation with a quilting friend and I bemoaned the fact that for so many years, quilting patterns say "quilt as desired".....why don't patterns say what motif the quilter used for the project????? So THANK YOU, JENNY! for describing your quilting motif!!!!! MSQC ROCKS!!!!!

[@louisenoftall2083]

Beautiful quilt ; I had the privilege of visiting Hamilton and the Missouri star quilt company last month . I was like a kid in a candy store .I had the prof meeting your two grandsons and had my picture taken with them .

[@sandracedar368]

LOL😂! Jenny is so talented - & skilled, too! I mean seriously - how many people can lick there finger and talk at the same time while doing the prep work for a fabulous Quilt?! Who doesn’t love these ladies!❤

[@wilycat5290]

I haven't tuned in to MSQ on KZbin for awhile. This was a fun video and lovely quilt. AND Natalie, you look fantastic 🤩. Thanks for the video 😊

[@HidingPlainSight]

I love you two!!!❤️❤️

[@annettebrown4386]

I have never seen a four patch sewn that way!! Wow, I have a new way to make them. Thanks!!!

[@franblazer7289]

Love you gals!!! You make my life so much brighter in this dark world. Thank you for all you do to make quilting fun. Natalie you look wonderful! Wish I could lose some pounds.

[@denisepineda1788]

I love this tutorial and the fabric is so cute. Thanks for sharing your easy pillowcase. I had forgotten how easy you make it with the flange. Natalie’s face just shines now. The two of you on the video together is so cute!! Love it1

[@lisafuller2027]

I love your mother-daughter relationship! Ya'll are such good examples and sew much fun to watch❤

[@melril32000]

My husband laughed at me when I watched this because I was listening through my hearing aids and my hands were busy figuring out how I would upsize it for our bed 😂 All he could see was me pointing and talking to myself 😂😂

[@enellbrown5101]

What a fun way to make a 4 patch. Thanks for the tip.

[@sandraramirez7090]

Awesome quilt, but I love Natalie’s reaction to the pillow case priceless!!!

[@jennifershea7587]

So glad that you revamped this tutorial. I’ve wanted to make this for ages.,

[@judithsargent9671]

I have to give that pillow case a try. My brain says that won’t work, but Jenny says it will. I believe in Jenny. Lol. I think I just might give the quilt a try too. Almost all my quilts I make have been from Jenny’s tutorials. I love Jenni style of teaching. Thanks for all you do. You have made me a much better quilter.

[@ruthhilsdorf3210]

Yes the pillowcase is that easy. I like to do the French seam, an extra step but gives a nice finished seam that will never fray out. I’ve made many of them for donation and when I do a baby quilt I like to do a small pillowcase to match if I have enough fabric. A small travel size pillow works great for when baby is old enough for it.

[@eunicehehir6374]

Jenny! The quilt is Adorable But the pillowcase process is Brilliant!🎉🎉🎉

[@annewadley438]

LOVE this quilt! It's my 'go to' when I need to use up scraps... and I've made TONS of pillowcases using your EASY tutorial.. thank you

[@joybrown9600]

This has just become my new go-to too!

[@nevafitzgerald2402]

I love making the pillow cases to match the quilt I always do a French seams! Love you all thanks again for another great tutorial😍

[@dialarkingsley3924]

Fantastic looking quilt. Ladies, you made it look so easy. I love the pillow case tutorial, so easy. Definitely going to give it a try.

[@bjollyhomes]

I am so happy to see this tutorial. I saw this pattern❤ last year and decided I wanted to make it. It was so pretty and looked simple enough. Unfortunately it was on another quilting channel and they didn’t make their squares like you all. Started making squares and was so confusing the way they did them. I now feel like a dummy after seeing how simple you all make it. Starting all over now and already can tell this is going faster than before. I’ve been a follower since you began years ago when I first became a grandmother and my daughter wanted me to make her baby a quilt. Thank you Jenny and family for helping quilters with your down to earth and easy methods. You make it so much more fun. Happy 4th of July!

[@patriciasweet151]

Love this ladies. Natalie your gorgeous. Smile says feeling wonderful. Not sure on the quilt for the holidays but the pillow cases be great for granddaughter. Daughter had panrcatic cancer. So an helping on this journey. I go to her and take her to chemo. We made thru the first six. And she's doing good. Even with emergency hernia surgery 2 weeks ago

[@SuperBettyboop23]

Thank you so much for showing us the awesome quilt and thank you for the pillow case ❣️🪡🧵✂️💖❤️💓💗

[@chrissyluna8183]

I call the pillow case the burrito technique because you roll it up sew .lol, beautiful quilt ❤.

[@janepeiffer]

My guild is presently quilting one of these. The only difference ours is sashed with corner stones. I just love it. It is made with vintage fabric.

[@tinaneely1]

I really love watching you and your girls. I have learned so much from you. All three of you are wonderful teachers, and so talented. You are superstars.

[@janeanndouglas9231]

My Grandpa sang Goodnight Irene to me when I was little. He died when I was 9. It's nice to know there's a quilt named for this song.

[@wendydavis940]

What a fun pattern! I never would have thought of making one. Your tutorial takes the scariness out of it. 😊 I also love the pillowcases. 😁

[@dianehuntley2493]

I made a pillowcase to match their quilt for each of my granddaughters. They love them! I watched Jenny's original burrito pillowcase tutorial. Thanks!

[@nancyarchibald9095]

I bought this pattern, prior to watching your tutorial. It IS easy!! How fun. 🎉 * and YES, I enjoy making a pair of pillow cases for wedding gifts. This Burrito pattern looks so professional, when you sew French Seams on the top & side seams. 😂❤😊😊

I’ve watched you do the four patch last year? That how I always do this way. Thank you again . Would love to do this pattern!🇨🇦

[@julieedgecombe6087]

I have been looking at all my scraps and I think I am going to start cutting them all in 5” squares and making blocks with them. I think I may do this instead of 9 patches. I have loved this since Jenny first made it!

[@Tla81]

I had gotten this pattern a few months ago! I have so many 2 1/2 “ squares! I made them from left over fabrics I had left. I’ll use the 5” method on something else. I can’t wait to start!

[@ginat12345]

Thanks to your chandalier tutorial I saw a year ago, from then on I was hooked. Had never sewn before. But I have now completed 11 quilt tops. Which is a big accomplishment living in a 40' converted skoolie!

[@sunshineandwarmth]

Oh my goodness. You must be very efficient and strong! My apts have always been turned into sewing studios as I kept requiring more space.😂

[@simoneryan4487]

It’s a great quilt pattern and I love your four patch hack. I do scratch my head at American pillowcases though LOL. I so want to teach you how to make Australian style pillowcase where the burrito method can still be used for the decorative bit but the pillow won’t fall out because it’s enclosed inside…

[@susanmei9980]

Yes, do tell! 😊

[@vickichandler5872]

Love to see the two of you ladies create together. Your personalities are happy and fun. So it's a pleasure watching you. Love this pattern by the way. And the pillowcase is a great bonus. Thanks ladies. Take care and blessings to ya'll.

[@thestitchingcouple]

I’m making this right now with scraps and white and I already know it’s my new favorite quilt. And I’m not a scrappy kind of girl. The white X makes all the difference.

[@KarenGreene51]

Drove out to Hamilton yesterday!! Got to meet Sara’s Jason in the Vintage store. What a good young man. Got to make a quick trip back before we head back to Florida. The retreat building was busy with sewing machines at full throttle. Just wish I could have had a Jenny hug. I even told Jason the story about my first meeting with Jenny. It’s been 4 years since we have gotten to come home. Oh! Please have someone put up a sign at the red light to take a left or right to get back on 36. DETOUR!!! Loads of love.

[@charlenegeorge2536]

Great tutorial!!! Thanks for keeping us busy with fun quilts to make!

[@lisaneff9024]

Make the strip, fold it back on itself so 2 4.5” pieces are stacked & then cut - you’ll cut 2 at a time this way instead of cutting one 4 patch of the strip at a time.

[@debbymccauley4774]

I actually made this quilt last year and it turns out stunning. My colors were Eggplant Purple and Sage Green with 16 patch I prints of greens and purples...sorry can't remember the fabric line name but it was Moda line.
