I saved all my scraps from previous blocks to use as an oops kit. It has saved me a few times! When the quilt top is done I plan to use the leftovers to create a pillow or some other little project.

[@janfelshaw8217]

You could make some odd blocks and put them on the back too.

[@Kari77251]

I’ve also saved every piece of scrap fabric. Not sure what I’ll be making with them yet... I need inspiration!

[@tamaraclayton7558]

I'm using my left over fabric for the backing

[@margm4]

Thinking turning them into a crumb cushion....

[@pamperkins6639]

Quilted post cards would be great way to use leftover fabric. My quilt guild did a quilted post card exchange for this years holiday project. I had to learn to do it. Really fun. Would be a great Misty tutorial

[@juliemorrison4348]

Great to see your star block made.♥️🇦🇺

[@RuebenOtero]

I love it when Jenny starts talking about choosing a good ruler for your brain. It's such a casual example of access considerations in quilting and I love it when she explains her thinking!

[@robertaarrowsmith2860]

BLOCK 10!!!! I am so excited that we are almost to the end and will have our quilts finished. Who knew when we started that this would be one of our joys that kept us going through COVID -19! Thank you, Jenny and everyone at MSQC! I also love our Facebook group.

[@Kari77251]

My son came in the house with my month 10 box about 30 seconds before I got the KZbin alert for this video. Perfect timing!!

[@juliannaburgess9177]

I LOVE doing stars, it's like quilting equals stars. It's my MOST favorite pattern. This has such variety I can't wait to get started. Also you are looking "great" and back to your bubbly self. I want to let you know AGAIN that I'm SO THANKFUL for coming across your videos. Without them, I would have NEVER have taken the plunge into quilting. It's been my saving grace for many troubling times. May you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving.

[@katywuste9054]

That was a great tutorial and so stress free. I love that you tell us that it doesn’t have to be 100% perfect and how to use tricks to make things better so thank you

[@saraharrell1768]

Love your tutorials. You are looking so pretty today.

[@paulac4147]

Hi Jenny, I just now finished block 10. I started it when it first arrived then I made a boo boo. I cut my white 7" background squares TWICE diagonally instead of just once. So I put the block away until I had some time to look at it and think how to fix it. So, I just sewed half those blocks back together thinking I would have to add an extra white strip a now they would be 1/2" too short. Low and behold they fit perfectly! I still cannot see how they fit perfectly after losing 1/2". Anyway it all worked out and am ready to start assemble. Thank you so much for this BOM. I learned so much through your tutorials of each and every block. I have used some blocks I learned in other projects as they all are so pretty. It was like taking a course every month and fabric and pattern were included in price! I haven't heard yet what this years BOM is. Looking forward to it. I really appreciate you and all your staff!

[@janfelshaw8217]

I just love watching you. You’re just so fun.

[@carolynlewis1264]

I've learned so many new things doing this BOM. Thank you Jenny and crew.

[@rachellemccann7506]

Yeah! It's a great birthday for me today getting to make my month 10 block!

[@missc8870]

•💟• Happy Birthday! Have a wonderful day doing something pleasant. Celebrate your quiltung progress. •💟•

[@janfelshaw8217]

Happy Birthday. Make it a great one.

[@marlahanks7278]

Yes, Happy Birthday!!

[@Kari77251]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RACHELLE!!

[@koerberj]

Happy birthday! Glad you have a very special day!

[@jacquelinesafe5839]

What a splendid journey this has been. Looking foreward to the culmination. Thankyou Jenny

[@marlahanks7278]

Jenny, I've been following all 10 month's of stars & have so enjoyed them all. I do want to say, though, I've never seen 1/4 square triangles done this way unless there's that odd chance I've missed one of your tutorials!! I LOVE this way & will be trying it. Have a Happy Thanksgiving :)

[@HRHDMKYT]

I'm not even making this Block of the Month, but I do enjoy Jenny making her blocks. Looks fabulous!

[@lindatower6437]

I LOVE that block lock. just got mine. Thanks for introducing.

[@craftyirina]

Hi Jenny! I’m loving this series! I learn so much from you! Thank you for teaching me be a better quilter! Thank you ! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your beautiful family! 💕💕💕

[@carolware1969]

Thank you Jenny

[@laurieramsay9358]

HELP!!!!! I feel so sick!!!!! I just realized that I cut my tiger/chartreuse combo blocks the same direction. I was following along with Jenny and the booklet, I don't know what I did, I must have had one pile turned 90 degrees. Can I get more fabric? ***I would like to say a great big THANK YOU to MSQC for sending me the fabric I needed. You are the BEST!***

[@gracerappa3025]

Just finished tutorial on block 10. Feeling a little sad will be missing block tutorials. Hope you are thinking of another monthly block season. Great teacher great person Happy Thanksgiving to you and all your staff❤️🌹

[@tamaraclayton7558]

Thank you for your inspiration during these tough times. You are awesome.

[@michellerennepowar2773]

Thank you very much for this. You should do this again next year. Awesome sauce.

[@1960Connie]

This was wonderful Jenny! I enjoyed watching you at work! You made the block look so simple to do. You’re amazing to watch and I love to see the machine working as your fingers run the fabric through. 😂

[@angelah.2291]

There is a 1/4” Clearly Perfect Slotted Trimmer and it was just on a daily deal a week or two ago and I purchased it. I’m really glad I bought it because it is hard to find tools to square HST and QST without it. I thought for sure you would have gotten it Jenny. You are the one who got me interested in it and I love it. Thanks!

[@HappyDW]

Just yesterday I wanted to know how to do this block!! I just love you!! ♥️.

[@margm4]

Love this block. You make it look so easy xx🇦🇺

[@LynnLGray]

I love those rulers.

[@veraroyce6678]

Jenny, you do sell the slotted trimmer C and D, C has the quarter inch markings and D has the 3/4 markings... When i spotted them on your site, I bought both, so now I have all four

[@kathleengillen6096]

Beautiful block, thank you.

[@darleneappleman3911]

I like the quiltblock its pretty

[@Kpmomof4]

I love these fabrics! I want to get a bunch of the white background fabric

[@vickiheath6133]

This was a great tutorial

[@carolware1969]

I love it.

[@kathyberlincourt4542]

Thank you for another great video. I have learned so much from you. Also, I love your new hair style. Have you lost weight? You look awesome.

[@aliciamcgirr8900]

I have so much trouble starting the triangles in my machine. I often have to stop and pull out thread and start the point again. Jenny and her machine make it look so easy!

[@laurieramsay9358]

use a leader.....a small piece of fabric that you run through the machine first...kind of like chain piecing. it should stop the diving

[@beckysteelman5743]

I have learned so much from you. You are so awesome. Now what is your secret on losing weight! You look great😊

[@user-vx3uh2bn2d]

Благодарю за урок!💖👍

[@lucy7b]

Thank you, Jenny your looking so slim.

[@beverleybrowning3480]

Always great tutorials! Cute little quilt block with you on tv on the wall behind you! Who made that for you, 😁

[@maureenabramson4224]

Thank you Jenny, as usual you were awesome and so helpful. I just started sewing again last year and never spent a lot of time quilting, I mostly made clothes and pillows. But I decided to jump in with both feet and have caught the quilting bug, especially after your the trunk show at the Road to California. I have loved learning so much from you these past 10 months. Thank you for the blessing of this opportunity. Happy Thanksgiving.

[@robertawhite9284]

I found a new Clearly Perfect Slotted trimmer on your website that does have the 1/4 markings.

[@sandyhussey5023]

Will it be possible to get the pattern for all ten once the quilt along is over?

[@shawnaleewhitney6630]

Yes, please! I have plenty of fabric in my stash. Would be happy to buy the pattern.

[@carmenbailey1560]

👍❤️😊

[@vernieplummer5148]

Hey Jenny that sewing machine you use for these videos is set down inside the cabinet just a bit and it makes you hold onto your fabric while falling off a step. I bet there's somebody around there who could make the machine level for you and you could hold things easier.

[@dawnsnyder216]

You always make it look so easy. Love watching you. Question on material, I did the Diamond block, but had a problem with a bit of bunching when sewing blocks together. What can I do to not have that happen

[@shawnaleewhitney6630]

Do you use leaders and enders? That may help. Several KZbin quilters have videos on using them (Lori Holt, Karen Brown).

[@MrsGraphiteGal]

It might mean that you aren't sewing a consistent 1/4" seam. It doesn't have to be exactly 1 /4" and everyone's is slightly different but you do need to be consistent throughout. Otherwise you are trying to fit different lengths together which is okay if it's an 1/8th or so, can be eased in but you'll get bunching/pleats if there's a larger difference.

[@carolmorgano7158]

🥰🥰👍

[@ManuelaPatzel]

Unfortunately I have not gotten my box yet. Usually I get it within the first two weeks. 😳

[@evileva39]

Jenny you do great work . I need to know what is the name of your sewing machine I know it is a baby lock but do not know the name of it seems to be bigger than some of the other ones that you have been using in this tutorial. love this block love the big blocks they go Together so nice

[@angelah.2291]

It’s the Accomplish. Hope that helps. It’s a straight stitch only machine.

[@marilyncarter2008]

I'd like to buy a Baby Lock. What model is yours, Jenny?

[@babszollak2512]

How big it the block?

[@LottieSue]

Can someone tell me about Jenny's weight loss?

[@donnakimball3822]

How large is this star ?

[@MrsGraphiteGal]

I believe its 23" , it's posted at the start of the video.

[@francescathielke6872]

I feel so bad, I’m so far behind

[@vernieplummer5148]

Jenny I love you but if you were ever to set all the seams I would fall over. Today you ironed one, then said to set the seams, then set the other three. LOLOLOLOL

[@mariaangelesvenereo4143]

I have to apologize as of now. This block came out different to what you did. I will post pictures on you page so you can see what I mean. There is no way for me to fix it and besides it is different.
