FYI......We NEVER get tired of watching Jenny brainstorm!! 😘💜💜

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Jenny & Misty. That quilt is really really stunning and gorgeous and it looks 3D. I really really love 💕 all the possibilities this strip quilting has. That block you put with the white solid, made a whole new block!!!!!!! absolutely adorable xxx Mags

[@brandonthomas2852]

Really enjoyed watching this! Not sure anyone could get tired of Jenny, especially if they're here watching. I was chanting 'Cut it up! Cut it up!'

[@dorisschaffer7189]

Jenny do you have lay out for string quilt that has White piece of material in middle of block

[@lindagentry859]

I was a single mom of 4 - our motto (back in the 80’s) was eat it up, wear it out - make it do or go without. My children recited it all the time. 😉

[@lindamorrison2758]

I want to copy this. We did all this, but didnt have the mantra.

[@janevans1821]

Love this! When I was a child, pulling the paper off for my grandmother was my favorite part.

[@miriamayala5757]

Jenny you are still the best at making everything seem so simple, thank you and your daughter is adorable!!

[@ericburdette1173]

I love this method. I have always wondered about what the best paper would be. When ever I have a question about how to do a quilt this is my go to site. I love you all and Jenny is awesome and thank goodness she figures out how to make it easy. My grandmother taught me how to do cross stitch embroidery quilts but I taught my self how to do piece quilting.

[@janemuir3546]

I love this video! The learning about quilting is great, but hearing about the children, grands, in-laws...getting to know your team has been a beautiful bonus!

[@shelleytindle5773]

I'm going to make this with black down the center and do Fall colors! You are always such an inspiration!❤️🍂🍁🍃

[@veliatorrez6523]

As always I enjoy your tutorials. Never get tired of watching you make quilting enjoyable. Thank you.

[@thebeatonpath]

This is the first quilt I learned to make and it is STILL my favorite after all of these years!

[@barbarareich8722]

Jenny and Misti, when I was about 12 or14 years old I helped my paternal grandmother make a string quilt, I’m 72 now. We cut 6” squares from the newspaper and that was our foundation. I still have some of those. Also,a few years later while messing with her sewing things I discovered some childrens dress and bodice paper patterns on newspaper dated December 26,1944.I can only imagine that my grandmother had been gifted some fabric and since it was the day after Christmas she decided to make a dress or jumper with it 40:19 and freehandedly cut her pattern from this paper. Thank you for letting me share.

[@dulcilass]

I'm so glad that you use the center white strip to separate the patterns formed by the blocks. I've seen so many scrap quilts that have no unifying pattern to them and each separate block ends up disappearing into a mish-mash of color which to me is visually confusing. My first reaction on seeing the quilt was that you had done the colored squares and then sashed the blocks in white which I really liked. Then I realized that it was a center stripe of white coming together at the corners to form the dividing frame work. So much easier to construct that way. Thanks so for the idea.

[@hazelgiles7058]

When was in the states last year and bought papers and came home and made the quilt fabulous just have to put it together will love watching you again

[@lindawilliams9880]

great tutorial!

[@vonniesea]

Thank you ladies. I am new to this so I am soaking up everything I can get. Your tutorial makes it look like fun. Can’t wait to get started

[@Meadows_Brook_Brambles]

I really enjoyed this video and I would LOVE to see you make a crumb quilt live! Thanks for the video and the fun interaction 🙂

[@eileensecrest2185]

You know, Jenny, I have seen this quilt so many times made of such beautiful material, but I have never liked it until now and its because you put the WHITE between the squares. That makes all of the difference in the world. I have wanted to make the blocks but refused to put in the work on something I wouldnt like and now you have made it possible! Thank you and your lovely designing mind!

[@lghollen5543]

I bought this paper from you years ago and then I forgot what to use for , still have it now I will do it for sure. 😄😄

[@lesliebowman7396]

I love watching you. I’ve learned so much. This is going to be one of my next creations.

[@marysmith9643]

Hello Jinny and Misty . You make things look so easy. You have helped me so much this past year. I lost my husband a year ago and I was lost and did not know which way to turn. Just wanted to let you know you are truly a Blessing.

[@carolehavelick9984]

I wrote pattern instructions for Simplicity many moons ago., I worked with Marjorie Puckett on several string quilting patterns. You’re bringing back pleasant memories. Thanks.

[@karenwheeler2366]

How about San antinio San antinio Texas n your phone number tourer love watching genneyn misty I learn so much keep it up girls

[@patd4103]

Love string quilts. I use a fabric square as a backing. Done 10" with wide strips and 5 1/2 using 3/-1" strips. The white strip down the center is a great tip and completely changes the look.

[@NanaK459]

I love this quilt, thinking it would be a great first quilt for my granddaughters to make with me. Thank you for the video.

[@gettuit1]

Watching from Ontario Canada. Absolutely awesome. I have learned soooooo much from your shows. I get excited when your emails pop up. Thank you so much. Stay safe and well.

[@99freasa99]

Hello from Albuquerque, I LOVE string quilting, I use all my scraps for them and I also have very slim strips sewn together to make larger pieces of fabric to make blocks with later. Some are just any colors, some are color co-ordinated,

[@carolynwhitfield3625]

[@lynnethyne5374]

[@edwardhunsaker4236]

I use old sheets so it makes the quilt a little thicker and don't have to be pulled off!! Don't always have to use bating. I love your tutorials!!!

[@lilsis8282]

Im a canadian in Texas. First time viewer. Loving this family affair. Will watch again

[@pamketron]

Great job! Possibilities are endless. Love this one!

[@gwenreed8605]

Love 💕 this so many different ways to do it and then they are different quilts .Must make a string quilt. My husband grandmother who passed away about 32 yrs ago at 108 yrs old made all string quilts on news paper

[@marylove7153]

I used a square of muslin for my foundation.

[@paulamcdowell8993]

Can’t believe I’m just now watching this 3 years later!! Loved it! ❤️❤️❤️

[@LB-hr3ce]

Love this quilt design. My father, who is an artist, told me a long time ago to always add white or black, if you have a lot of color. This helps your eyes rest.

[@marietteforget7804]

Exactly! 🌺🌸

[@cheryllittmann1670]

Your rulers are the best, so awesome for precuts. Love them all.

[@kathy2951]

I do a similar technique, using used dryer sheets that I leave in

[@kwanintara770]

Watching from Thailand. I love the way you are teaching.

[@roseannebulnertan5505]

Hi Jenny I am from Singapore and I love watching your video’ they have help me to improve my skills.

[@kathybarnett6634]

Watching you from Colorado. Love all your tutorials! I love using what I have, also. Do you recommend a quilt block for used Levi's?

[@lyndaholden9672]

Thank you so much for your videos!! I'm brand new to sewing and you make it so easy

[@carmensaid3909]

Such a joy watching you two beautiful ladies, and the deep voice behind the camera. I have just subscribed and hope to start quilting soon. Bless you.

[@laurafifer4453]

A toddler would have fun tearing that paper, while she or he watches you see them. Oh someday, I will have some grandchildren to keep me company.

[@sandramorgan8224]

I love this quilt and method. I made a baby quilt , it took me awhile but I love, love this pattern. Thank you so very much for sharing. Very informative.

[@sandramorgan8224]

The strings were 1 1/2” and the square ended up being 6” afterwards, looks amazing in a kids quilts

[@MaryMillerSpoolhardyGirl]

These videos are very dangerous! I just ordered two packs of paper piecing paper that, until 2 minutes ago, I didn't think I needed! ;)

[@marygem]

New paper: kids' coloring books are easier to pull off when used for foundation paper. Just the right "toughness" to hold the fabric, but easy to remove.

[@jenihansen7201]

LOVED THIS. SORRY I MISSED THE LIVE, BUT SO GLAD I COULD WATCH REPLAY

[@maplelassuk]

Fabulous! Great strip scrap buster...love it thank you xx

[@hazeljerrymunro2975]

Marie from Northville. Michigan. Another beautiful little town

[@pattyward8898]

I made four of these for gifts for my three sisters and a niece who go on an annual Fall shopping trip (and me, too). We give each other goody bags with candy, etc. I had a lot of flannel from making quilts, and used it to make theses. They loved their quilts! The room two of them shared was pretty cold, so their quilts came in handy!

[@p.kathleenshigemi5658]

I so enjoy your videos. You used my favourite colours and the white centre strips pull everything together. Thanks

[@JocelynSlater]

Love your Quilting Tutorials

[@JocelynSlater]

Is Butcher Paper okay?

[@hazelgiles7058]

I have used newspaper in the past

[@IAMThankYou4BeingYou]

Loved this video. Exciting not tiring.

[@bjumorrisdatter904]

Washing it w/o removing the paper backing is like having a wadded up tissue in a pocket. I would recommend removing the paper.

I absolutely love your tutorials... Working on your Two Step Quilt...

[@tracymason7483]

Hi everyone I love quilting and I love watching your videos I’m Tracy from the uk

[@marywise2014]

thank you for pointing out that when you are sewing with paper, the shorter the stitches, the easier it is to tear, it also lessens the pulling of the thread!

[@loribeaupre3694]

First time quilter and I found your video and watched it. I had so much fun make the square. It was so easy with your method. Thank you

[@robinbird3656]

Jean from Canada I Love learning from your tutorial. My Moms favorite quote for our large family of 7 kids, was waste not, want not, so I like your as well. I recently made a star and shared with you I will continue to do this untill I have 2 single quilts hoping to have scallops trim or prairie points for trim. or maybe the binding that has the little tiny different color in the binding as it sort of looks taylored. Love your help, most appreciated.

[@lindamcdermott5475]

Jenny, you are such a delight and inspiration . I decided I needed to use up some of my stash, which are mostly scraps from years of charity quilting. As usual I get carried away and make multiples. I planned to send pictures of the four I made, but can’t figure out how to attach them.

[@charliepinto9657]

I love watching you ladies alway so happy

[@tammyking3847]

Watched this today...I'm interesting in making string quilts/quilt blocks and this was so helpful. I like the center strip idea...and ideas on using the blocks and liked the baby quilt shown at the end

[@lyndaweis3460]

Love this format - please do it again!

[@eileenfb1948]

Great to see these replayed videos.

[@estrellaherrera4927]

How fun to see you live! I'll be there soon. Vicki from Mansfield, TX

[@lollipop7458]

I just realized I was actually watching a quilt tutorial. A QUILT tutorial. And I'm not mad. The fact I clicked onto it is so... Seriously? I came here from an; 'Eazy fabric rug' tutorial, but I'm not sure how I got there.🤔 I've really loved quilts for yrs, but I wasn't really interested in making own untill maybe 2 yrs.ago. I'm now itching to make 1. It's super intimidating, though. It seems like a virtual impossibility, imo. While watching the rug tutorial it came to me all @ once; 'OMG! I know how they make quilts!' So now, I'm borrowing all the quilt tips & tricks I can fit in my small, thick brain! Thx! Your lovely quilts are giving me igreat nspiration.♥️

[@susanheckman8277]

Love her family . . . . .she is a landmark!

[@chokko4912]

hello ,from germany yesterdayI started a string quilt ,this video is comeing just in time :)))) thx

[@phxquilt]

Also it's a great way to store your scraps. By adding the leftover strips as you have them it keeps them from stacking up. All of a sudden I have enough blocks to do a quilt! I currently have nearly 300 8" crumb blocks waiting to make up charity quilts. Lots of EXTRA fabric made from scraps.

[@pattyroberts8202]

From Sherman, Texas! Love y’all

[@marilynwade7971]

Hi Jenny, I love all your tutorials. You explain everything so well and it is always fun. I just wanted to let you know how do mine. I don't use paper I use up old sheets, pillow caes and even men's handkerchiefs. It may take a little longer initially, but I like to repurpose has much as I can. Thank you for all your great ideas also. You are so inspireing.

[@AnnieofBlueGables]

Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without. I actually use used dryer sheets. I press them flat, then sew on them for my foundation. I’ve made purses and bowl cozies this way.
