The Crazy Quilt - The Ultimate Stash Buster!

[@armyhound]

Jenny, I think the most fun part of making this quilt was getting to hang out with you and your family again after nearly 20 years. It was a lot of fun! I still have it and it is one of my most precious posessions, next to my memories with your family. You have been like a second mom to me and will always love you ma'am. Signed "The Soldier from Texas."

I quilt, of course, sewing along. I sew in front of the t.v. as my husband likes to listen to me natter along as I go about it, and we try and catch what is on the tube. My husband has Parkinson’s, so he dozes off as well. I bought your crazy quilt templates and showed him. He was as happy about that, even more than any other. He says have you started yet? He is so happy that we (me) have this project on the ball. We talk about how old crazy quilt designs are, which I did not realize. His Mom lived into her 90’s and she had made quilts. She must have made a crazy quilt, as he is ready for us (me) to finish off my current project. Loved this video Jenny, thanks so much. x

[@aleneknox7369]

LOVE this idea to use up ALL those scraps I've gotten over the past 30 YEARS of quilting! Get ready kids - I will be sending these to a Missionary in Africa AND for the kids in Haiti who are STILL suffering! GO GALS!! Makes someone smile.

[@daveandpaula0923]

My grandma used to make crazy quilts with all the worn out clothes and fabric scraps she had laying around and they are still well-loved. I am glad I found this tutorial - ordered the template a few weeks ago and absolutely LOVE how easy it comes together. You brought back a small joy of childhood, and in a new a modern way that I can pass on! I

[@maryanndunham4457]

God bless the soldier who made the beautiful crazy quilt. I love crazy stash buster goodies. Jenny I really like how you added sashing and kept your middle piece the same through out the quilt. Thank you for all you do to inspire a beginner quilter to keep trying. Huggers!!

[@missyj8546]

Mary Ann Dunham I agree! Amazing quilt idea 😁👍🏻

[@tracybrewer5844]

Well said Marlene Carlson. Some people can be very rude. If one doesn't like the quilt or tutorials go to another chanel because more of us M.S.Q.C lovers out here that think these quilts and tutorials are wonderful. And are great followers to this site. I enjoy every tutorial and quilt on here. Keep up the fantastic work Jenny. We all love you. HAPPY QUILTING.

[@happygrandma111]

From your 80 year old friend - Louise I looked for this site and am glad I found it again. I think this is the best quilting show going. I hope to make this crazy quilt. Thank You for the info.

[@silviafloresstillens3437]

I live out in the woods and no neighbors so I sew with you Jenny Doan, LOVE YA!

[@terriweldon1271]

Thank you for your tutorial - it's fab. I'm a self taught quilter. Jenny is my mentor! I shall be making this quilt pretty soon and donating to a charity. So from Wales, Great Britain much love and quilt on ! X

[@Ambeezyyx3]

I love these "vintage" Jenny tutorials as much as the new ones!

[@allisong6]

This is one of my fav videos. Simply because its an anyone can video. And this is essentially a very cheap make too and anti waste. So double bonus. My daughter has been making scarppy block quilts with me for 2 years for the homeless. Using my quilt craps/ clothing anything on top. A fleece blanket or wadding or curtain interlining for the wadding. And anything from curtains/sheets/duvets for backing... and some times sneaks some of my other fabrics too. For us it is the true meaning and reason for quilting and patchwork.

[@lilliannelson8947]

I made this quilt after watching your tutorial the first time, and it was so much fun to make. I didn't have the templates when I made it but do now. However, The quilt turned out really well and is very cheerful. A fun way to use up scraps that I really didn't want to throw away. I think the reason I loved making it so much is that it is a "non thinking" kind of quilt and a person can just sit and sew and sew and add all the many stripes of different colors and everything goes together. I bordered mine in green and it brought out the green in the scraps. Thanks for this neat pattern and idea, I'm loving using my quilt on these chilly winter evenings and days. Thanks again, Lillian Nelson

[@funwithquilting3158]

I would like to see a picture of it. if there Is it a way for you to upload it :)

[@bjollyhomes]

Jenny You are the BEST! You make quilting so easy.Last year I made my first quilt using your tutorials on KZbin. It was for my 1st grandchild, a sweet little boy named Case.

[@HellsGranny1960]

Agreed 100%......Jenny is a talent and an inspiration. I'm Welsh and you should hear what WE do to the english language,,,,,lol!! But as long as we can make ourselves understood that's all that matters. Jenny is an angel and for me she's the Queen of Quilting. Long may she reign!! :o)

[@mariamadrigal3510]

When I was a kid my greatgrama...my "Tita" make crazy quilt. By hand sew...she teach me. How to sew so neat...every stich...is why I love your program. And one day will visit

[@debrayeska9804]

Love you, Jenny! I just joined a Crazy Scrappy Block Swap group and your video was linked for instructions. I am tickled pink because you always make everything looks so easy! Thank you for all you do for the quilting world.

[@maricarmenmorente2976]

Echo de menos las maravillosas clases que nos da Jenny, por favor no dejes de hacerlo, me haces feliz y aprendo mucho. Gracias querida amiga.

[@mynvision]

Thanks to this video (as well as other MSQC videos), I made my first order at your store, which includes that crazy quilt template set! I've seen the other ones, but I love that these are neon green. The color helps me to see where I'm cutting, as I have a hard time with the clear with black printing. I had actually seen a vintage crazy quilt at an antique store, and I was super fascinated, but didn't know what they were called. After some research, I found the name, and looked on YT to find a video, and yours was one of the most clear and concise tutorials.

[@mudbunnie1]

What an awesome idea for all those small scraps!! No measuring or fusing, love it!! Thanks Jenny

[@rogerburton4462]

You have convinced me. I am going to try this.....lets pray that the quilt ends up crazy and not me. I have watched many many of your tutorials and I think I just might be able to do this...... thank you (by the way you are quite the teacher!)

[@traceyhancock-holmes6293]

Just love your laughter and sense of humor you're an inspiration to this beginner quilter xx.

[@susanfryman2052]

Love this. I have brain damage and I have to keep it simple so I can understand and learn it. Your tutorials are easy to understand and the quilts look magnificent. Also your online store is awesome. Thank you so much and blessings, Susan Fryman

[@terryivey5374]

Garry Lee Fryman Same here ! Isn't it a good feeling to be able to create something? These videos gave me the will and way to return to sewing. HUGS to you and hope you keep trying.

[@williamcordray2167]

I also have some issues I have bipolar depression and quilting helps me keep focused it's an awesome way to relax and unwind!

[@cindywagner4623]

I love the crazy quilt. The more colorful the better!

[@chadclark9694]

Great tutorial! Easy to understand and follow. The outake at the end is priceless! Thank you for deciding to share that - they are gems!

[@thefrugalcrafter]

This is fantastic! I just made my first ever quilt top yesterday (I was just going to try making 2 blocks and got carried away!) Thanks for taking the mystery out of crazy quilting!

[@CarolHeld]

Love it! I wanted to do a quilt in remembrance of my Mom, but, lacked the confidence in quilting! This looks amazingly simple. I mean the squares! I'm not sure about the outside part...lol

[@bettywhittington9654]

Carol Held did you make something from your mom's materials? Bet it's beautiful.

[@RebekahAnn42]

I absolutly love all the Missouri Star Quilts Co videos !!!!

[@mollyserkin]

A beautiful quilt. I made a few crazy blocks, embellished them and turned them into Mug Rugs and gave as presents to friends. I also make a very big block and turned that block into a makeup bag. Love you Jenny!

[@denisenewman5986]

This is perhaps the most straightforward tutorial I have seen. I feel like I could be successful now. Thank you!

[@trishaann54]

What a wonderful way to use up scraps and how beautifully it all goes together. I have a bag full of leftovers from the quilts I made for my sister's three children and I think I could blend them all together to make a crazy quilt for my sister with them. The kids would be able to pick out the bits of fabric that matched their own quilt in their mother's quilt. Thank you for this great idea.

[@angels7394]

If you sew them on to the batting, and make them all the same size, you can join them and then when you add the backing, all you need to do to quilt it is to sew between the blocks. There is a tutuorial on line of quilting as you go using different blocks. I'm in the process of making a crazy patch quilt doing it this method. Just a suggestion for you.

[@Sherileeaz1]

Fabulous tutorial! I like this method because at times I prefer not making a block using precise cuts, seams, etc. I can go "crazy" and it turns out! Lol! Thanks, always love your videos!

[@abhasushilbahal1590]

I love all your tutorials though don't have the courage to try them all. I finally got around to making this one with template made out of cardboard. Turned out pretty good. Thank you. Your tutorials are so simple to follow.

[@daleperry2320]

Thank you Jenny for all your wonderful tutorials, I have learned much from you. You do a fantastic job and don't let anyone deter you! thanks for helping us learn new things :)) I love that Crown Jewel that I just watched and this Crazy quilt if Fun Fun!

[@acctconnect]

Works very well for a theme or color quilt, but if you don't care for the extra scrapping look (like the one hanging on the wall) you can always give it a light dye bath. This will help to bring together all of the divergent color families used in a quilt and and give it a unified look without sacrificing its scrappy nature. Thanks for another great video.

[@greygoosegranny]

LOL, every time I watch another video, it becomes my new favorite pattern!! Love your videos, keep up the great work!

[@PSmith549]

Love it! At last a way for me to use up all those bits and pieces that will end up looking as though I've taken so much trouble to make it - when I haven't! Another winner, Jenny! Thank you!

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Jenny, I really really love 💕 this idea. It’s amazing what you can do isn’t it. And as you say if this young man can make then what are we waiting for. xxx Mags

[@mollyserkin]

Hi Jenny, I always wanted to make a crazy quilt but I never knew how to make it. I am more of the applique girl. I am going to make a crazy quilt. Your tutorial made it easy to understand.I love all your tutorials and your voice is so soothing.

[@kikasnook2472]

I always love this crazy quilt, specially when you are learning, thank you Jenny! 👏🏼

[@beloved4evr]

Love this! Don't know how I missed this but I'm sure going to make one of these! Love the sashing you used on the one you showed near the end of the video! You're the best!!!

[@rondabergeron4414]

As usual, Jenny you make my morning. I love your ideas. This so different and it gets my creative juices flowing. Thank you so much for sharing all of your videos. Ronda

[@1970SMary]

Fab tutorial yet again!! It's a good practice for sewing in a straight line!!! Just finished my first 'square' for my crazy patchwork curtains!! Keep up the excellent work xx

[@lokidaisy415]

I love your videos! I taught myself how to quilt about 12 yrs. ago, but basically just sewed strips and squares together... a reason to buy pretty fabrics ;) I didn't know how to properly do the "quilting" part or bind. I just winged it. It was definitely not perfect, nor exactly straight, but it worked & became a lot of fun. I got into quilting again last yr., but this time, there is the internet, whereas before I never used a computer (I'm not too social, so joining quilting clubs, sewing clubs, etc., was NOT for me). Through looking at pics & videos, I've learned to do puff quilts, block quilts, & with your videos, I've learned how to make a fence w/flowers, do many diff't patterned block quilts, etc. Now, if I can't figure out something, I come straight to your videos. You make it fun, your directions are easy to follow, and you have a nice voice to follow. As a "younger" sewer, I find that when I go into fabric or quilting stores, the women are often a bit snooty or don't think I'm serious because I don't know many of the terms. I just sew & have fun! I've been making pot holders for xmas, but wanted to use something other than just 4 squares for a block, so I've watched some of your videos for ideas + I can now do hexagons(fun!) Thank you so much for your time & your attention to us beginners. I don't like to ask for help, nor do I like to quilt w/others, so this is A LOT of help. Plus, you had a video w/your daughter, & I used that to learn how to "quilt" different designs onto my finished product. Thank you!!! :)

[@lokidaisy415]

I still can't make the fancy quilts, such as those with circles, animals... cut out things, appliques, etc. But, that will come with time. :)

[@chilkakanika1456]

Your projects are as beautiful as your method of teaching! Love this one too

[@gabbyg928]

Jenny, you are my fav teacher. You make quilting seem so fun and easy!! !

[@FiLovesBen]

I am just sooooooo in love with this design ... the possibilities are endless!!!!! I have a huge bin of scraps so I can't wait to try it myself :) By the way, I taught myself to quilt by watching your KZbin videos ... I just love them so please keep them coming, they are inspirational! Thank you so much :)

[@miriamprather2031]

I love your tutorials, Jenny. This crazy quilt idea is really neat. Thank you for the great idea to use those scraps you hate to toss.

[@lwarteman]

Thank you for this video. I am trying to learn how to quilt (with the help of a friend who is a very experienced quilter). I have a difficult time getting all my seams to line up (it's more challenging than people think) like on a 9 patch. So, putting pieces together and then using the square ruler to cut it to size is a great idea!! Thank you so much. I enjoy all your videos and have learned a lot.

[@ZiggZagg83]

LOVING IT...Quilting is not a big thing in my country (yet:) so I had to turn to the internet for tips. Thank god I found u :) now all I need is the right tools (which are, again, hard to come by here) and the fabric and away I go...I think the first pattern I will use will be the crazy angles stash buster :D Thank you for all the tutorials and keep it up! :) All the best from Slovenia.

[@kristiedentice7030]

I've made this pattern for several projects, to including a purse for myself. It's so fun to make.

[@mouse9008]

love your fabric Jenny! Looks like it makes a cute quilt.

[@anitagreen2263]

Just found my templates, and I knew you had a tutorial... After Christmas, this is 1st thing on my list!

[@evy-annstrand8010]

Thank you for another great tutorial. I have a lot of scraps. You always make it look fun and easy, so I think I wll give this a try. You are such a sunshine for my day, if I feel a bit down, I just look up one of your turotials - gives me inspiration and energy. Thanks Jenny and Missouri Star Quilt Company :)

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

The Halloween quilt was a wonderful balance (IMO) of the "crazy" and the structured; it really showed off the fabric and was a great use of stashed scraps. Another wonderful tutorial! Thank you so much for doing these.

[@donamartin1217]

I love your videos! I always find a great way to do what I'm trying to accomplish. Again you have given me the tool to make my idea work! Thank you!

[@rubblewife]

I am not a current quilter by any means but this just might turn me, It is so cool!! I bought the templates and can't wait to get started, thank you for your videos and encouragement!!

[@jessicaramseywwe]

This looks like a lot of fun and fairly easy to follow ur instructions as a new quilter can't wait to try this

[@veronicaarmstrong6231]

Love This Jenny And Love You! I am a beginner quilter and mostly because you make it look so fun and doable! Can't wait to make one of these!! Thank You!

Thankyou for all your great videos! I enjoy your infectious enthusiasm and always get helpful tips from you. Will be stashbusting with this one 💜💜💜

[@cindyking452]

I don't know how I ran across this tutorial originally, but I am glad I did. I have made 3 crib crazy quilts since. I love using up my stash (so I can buy more)!

[@caralikesglass]

I love this video so much, so much fun to watch. Very reassuring for people triying something new.

[@zeena94]

Thanks for your tutorial of crazy quilting. I enjoyed it and I think it is a very good idea of recycling the leftover materials. Keep up the good work

[@LadyShyye]

THANK YOU! I just gave Jenny her props and love and didn't want to start any negative banter with " ina". Jenny is sweet and Lovable. She's really sincere and passionate about helping. I saw NO NEED for that stupid comment too! :-)

[@TheDessyrose]

This quilt did what your quilts always do for me and that is to motivate and inspire! Love the idea of using all my scraps this way. The fact you used Halloween prints is perfect! As for Crazy Quilt heckling, leave well enough alone. I love the "Crazy" fun way you love and teach and inspire!! Crazy hugs heading your way!! :DDD

[@mistiwhitea4896]

I love doing this idea for mug rugs it's so easy and so much fun and you can make them as big or as little as you want them..💖💖💖💖

[@babylover0990]

I would cut it into a square even if the beginning piece is not centered. It would make for an even CrAziEr look!

[@ReclusiveBeing]

This is my kind of quilt! Being a beginner, I get so nervous making sure everything is precise. I like that you just sew and sew random pieces together whichever way you want. Thanks for the tutorial. :) I'll definitely have to do this when my scrap stash gets big enough lol.

[@cc83jc85]

I just saw (once again) a 2010 video of you- LOVED it. You were wearing a checkered flanette brown shirt, normal hair no make up! You looked so comfy! I ahev learnt soo much through your videos I watch them daily nearly- You have encouraged me when I felt lost and they pick me up when I wasn't sure what to do. Your lovely girls also do such an amazing job ..Marietta (retired primary teacher Brisbane. Hope to meet you one day

[@IronOnsUS]

I love it! This would be so much fun with kids helping. They could pick the scraps for you to sew....a nice family/mother daughter project. Thanks!

Tried to make a crazy square using a homemade template-it’s fair- I ordered Missouri stars template that night! I made a cool spider web quilt from the wacky web template and papers and it was very fun. Love the tutorials!

[@judithmutters5732]

Thanks so much for demystifying the crazy quilt template. I will be using all my scraps up from now on 💕

[@bettyochoa4099]

I can't sleep, so I watch your videos and they are so interesting that I keep awake, love to watch! this one I have watched before too! so thumbs up and I'll try to go to sleep now 😨lol!

[@Tilas8]

Betty Ochoa I’m the same way I can’t sleep so I’m all night and all day watching her videos. But lately I’ve been watching this video over and over. I’m trying to figure out did she use her 6inch template on what size scrap of fabric? And I’m also trying to figure out if the soldier made every centerpiece different? I want to know what size this quilt is on the wall but they probably don’t remember because the video is older.

[@sewndebisdream6953]

Thank you for giving me a great idea to use up my scraps for my sewing room. I'm going to use this idea to make a sewing machine cover.

[@stetlerarts]

Oh my word,now I'll have to try that template too! Great quilt and a great video.

[@skyfire62]

I will wait and try this AFTER I get a turning cutting board....I know my son would love this too.

I loved it the minute I saw it- loved it more after I watched ur video! thanks again Jenny!
