I love the Missouri Star Quilt Co. I can watch this videos over and over again. I find it soothing lol. and the iron was definitely something else... Thanks for the inspiration!

[@winnie-the-poohfans9445]

Love it! As I've said before .. I've been quilting for over 40 years and I still learn something new every time I watch one of your tutorials. Thank you for being such a real person .. it's like spending time with an old friend sharing something we love. *I'd rather be stitchin' than in the kitchen*

[@deadiemeyers1661]

A classic that never gets old.

[@imclueless1]

Love that wedding quilt.

[@DoggyIdol1]

unlike other tutorials yours are clear and your voice is so clear too...you are my fav of all the teachers doing these...get some fabric companies to put you on salary so we can have more...and more...and more lol

[@seasidestitches615]

Thank you. Beautifully demonstrated. Beautiful quilt!

[@jennysmata]

hello, I am from Venezuela, I am new in the quilt, thanks for your videos, you are an excellent teacher ..... all is beautifull

[@sonyasmithart9085]

I love the way you teach us how to make your quilts most are very easy thank you

[@dianescheid2909]

Nope, I am in love with that iron....never thought I'd say something like that!

[@kimberlyjackson6231]

i loved making this quilt in a child size. I have made 4 so far two for a girl and two for a boy. thank you for theses quick and easy ideas.

[@itsmelaura1533]

I should have watched the pinwheel video again before I asked the question. Thank you for your reply and for teaching me how to quilt. I have gotten the bug and love to sew now. You have the best teaching videos around! I love that you make it so simple for us beginners because otherwise I would have been too intimidated to start quilting.

[@maggiemae987]

You make everything SO easy!! I've heard of ironing the line in but I'm so thankful you showed us. Drawing it in takes forever!! With my little cricut iron right beside my machine it's a snap. Ms Jenny, you're the BEST!!!

[@patriciaharris8898]

Love this block.Thank you.

[@DoggyIdol1]

also love it and a tutorial for a quick/easy method for the wedding ring would be on my wish list of a Jenny tutorial

[@zeldafitzg1]

Oh, another wonderful tutorial-----and another terrific quilt idea! I wish I could make them all. I'm getting "the urge" to quilt again, and when I do, I always go back and watch your videos to get ideas. Jenny, do you realize how important you are to so many of us?! Hope you do!

[@valerieroling8035]

Love it, love it! Thanks Jenny. Your tutorials are always fun and easy to follow.

[@susieqmcf]

This block works great as an alternate block with any other block the same size. The triangles frame the block. Great idea to use layer cakes. Less cutting and they really do come out to be close to the same price as yardage. My time is worth the tiny difference.

[@cosmocat12]

I am another Australian fan. I always look forward to your new clips. Great quilt and very easy instructions. Thanks so much

[@kathyharris4061]

Quarter square triangles is exactly what we're studying in our Scrap Pack group today. I've gone further with my lesson plan, but this is a good beginning for people.

[@martadetexas]

Jenny, you are a peach!! Thank you. I am so glad you all are doing so well. I have been watching you for a while. You have not changed. From one finger liker to another, we are what we are. Again a great pattern! :)

[@curlygirlmom]

Jenny, I love you!! Thanks for yet another fabulous quilt tutorial. I just can't get enough of them. (Or fabric!) Thank you again for making sewing/quilting so much easier for visual learners like me! I had always been so intimidated by my machine. I would never have attempted something like a quilt without your tutorials.

[@llaughlin1]

Oh thanks! I never noticed the cool mechanical iron....now I need one too! Jenny Doan, thank you so much for your ideas and inspiration!

[@user-nc6rn6xj3o]

Здравствуйте,дорогая,Дженни! Я из России-города Владивосток,с огромным удовольствием смотрю Ваши видеоуроки и поражаюсь Вашему таланту просто и легко всё объяснять и создавать прекрасные вещи!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MsBrainers]

I made a king size quilt with this 10' size hourglass. So easy! I'm now hand quilting the quilt. I call it "My bouquet of hourglasses" I chose flowers for my print. Just love it. Your the best! I'm your greatest fan for the last two years.

[@seasidestitches615]

It sounds wonderful!

[@marylara11]

Hi, I'm new in the quilt, I am just learning and buying my rules and my tools, and I am very happy to have found your videos are excellent and I have erased many doubts I had. and although some things I do not understand the language, just watch them I removed the doubts. Greetings from Mexico ¡¡

[@barbbee5444]

So excited when you offer your tutorials! Great quality and inspiration every time!

[@mirinunes]

I love the modern look it has! Beautiful quilt!

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Lovely 😊 lovely 😊 lovely 😊 thank you so much for showing me this beautiful block

[@judevachre3553]

I agree the iron is amazing. I was most impressed at the ease of this quilt block. Definitely on my to do list.

[@jess1377]

Jenny you're a genius! Thank you for sharing your talents with us and educating us so that we can understand how to do what you do!

[@sewflower1]

As always, a great job on teaching an easy quilt technique. Thank you so much Jenny

[@cindylanahan3706]

Love this quilt! Fabric is perfect.

[@gaurigirme1000]

hi jenny, everyday i am going through your tutorials, u r such a inspiring lady, thank u dear, god bless u.

[@thereislightonthe1]

A big THANK YOU to Jennie Doan for making these videos. I have been referring to your videos ever since my quilt guild started making a "Row by Row" quilt a few months ago. It's one thing to see the demonstration at meeting but another to be able to stop/pause and restart a video of a particular technique. In today's case, it gave me a choice to make the hourglass block an entirely different way than I first learned. I'm glad I found Jennie's technique; it was faster and easier and my fabric didn't end up having the corners chewed up in my sewing machine ;) THANKS Jennie :)

[@chantalida53]

Quick and easy as usual. Thank you so much Jenny.

[@rannhwilliams2937]

Thanks, Jenny... I am new quilt-making-learner. This is so fantastic and easy for me to understand!

[@joycelachance891]

love your quilts and how easy your instructions are... just made 9 pstch on point for my daughter baby quilt...

[@gulllalai]

Thanks a lot Jenny for making quilting so easy and wonderful.

[@craftymom7]

Thanks sooo much! Love your tutorials. Only you could inspire me to make a quilt. Awesome Jenny!!!!!!!!!

[@irenefoss2245]

Thank you Jenny, I needed to see a video about making the hour glass block. I should have thought of you first but I was just looking around at videos and there you were making hour glass blocks. Yipee ! I'm making a 9 patch with alternate hour glass blocks. I have a picture but needed to know the easiest way to make a hour glass block. I do love the quilts you make and your directions in the videos are so clear and easy to follow.

[@roheb2221]

I

[@holmes178]

Thank you ! Love it and Love the way you teach us. ♥

[@dawnmorgan6405]

This is a beautiful quilt! But that Iron is just too amazing! :)

[@maggiemae987]

It makes it So much easier!!!

[@silvamargarete]

i love your tutorials, but today what i loved the mot was your iron! soooooo cool!!!!!!!

[@dianeraines3205]

Jenny you and the girls are wonderful to watch and learn from. I am quilting a dresden plate quilt that is 72 by 72 with 9 dresden plates. The one in the middle is a lot larger that the others and it is patriotic fabrics.I just started cutting out the silly goose one for my grown son ( royal blue background and the mini charm packs for the geese)

[@lance3665]

Thank you as always you have easy and fun blocks.

[@maryschutte8368]

I'm not sure how or why but this assembly method makes the most perfect, crips points in the center of each block. Maybe because I was using flannel, and the "nesting" was easier. I loved how this came out! Thank you so much!

[@jannyb55]

Definitely going to give this one a try! Thank you

[@IronOnsUS]

I enjoy your videos so much! I can't believe how much I've learned.

[@ruthstratton7757]

Just used this to make my first full sized quilt. It's a graduation present for my daughter. I used the moda elementary layer cake as I thought that was appropriate for a university graduation. I'm really happy with how it's come out. Thank you Ruth

[@msqcservice6969]

Ruth Stratton I am sure that it turned out beautiful, and she loved it! Tell her Congratulations from MSQC!!

[@UtahGmaw99]

Love your tuts! So clear. I have a friend who likes them too. He likes to do the quack!

[@KnitandCrochet424]

Love the video I can't wait to try this pattern looks great and easy.

[@irenamangone]

Just love it thank you Jenny

[@stetlerarts]

This such a great idea. I have a layer cake just waiting to do this.

[@beverlyadams1940]

thank you for your input. didn't know about nesting.

[@1959gilgil]

Another superb easy peasy video tute! Thanks Ginny :)

[@tomasabatistas2735]

Excelente, desde República Dominicana.

[@jankalonick4771]

I had made a quilt for the envelope quilt and had a ton of leftovers. So I thought of a border, but trust me I did not like the look. Took off the border, I, thankfully, had only sewn one on, and took it all apart and now I am using those "hour glass" blocks to make a baby quilt!!! I will still have 26 blocks left - but I will find another use I am sure. Thanks for all of the wonderful lessons!! I am and have learned lots for you!! Jan K AL

[@mariaanjosrosa]

Obrigada, muitissimo obrigada, a cada dia fico mais fascinada com sua delicadeza ao ensinar, é clara nas explicações.

[@KittenBowl1]

Found this tutorial via your web-site and such a wonderful easy tutorial that looks great! So glad to discover your international shipping is quite reasonable, and love your vast selections of precuts and such cute patterns! Thanks! I just subscribed!!

[@emmasmith4839]

Like the tutorial very much, thanks Jenny, and love the look of your natural nails. Refreshing. :-)

[@peggywooton5000]

Hi Jenny, love your tutorials, my daughter got me started watching and now I am hooked. I have been sewing for some yrs. but you have taken some complicated patterns and made them so easy. I truly appreciate your clear voice and all your tips. And I am so fascinated with your iron, could you please tell us your viewers where we can purchase one. Also I really like your sense of humor. Thank you Peggy

[@lupitachocolate]

Wonderfull tutorial! Thank you!

[@starlawheeler81]

Amazing! Thank you!

[@1954evelyn]

Thank you Kathy for the reply. I checked it out on Amazon and several people had the same problem you did, I am looking for a new steam iron and I am still searching. Too much to pay for an iron and only get a yer or so from it. Might stick to the old steam iron I have had for 30 years :)

[@danielle17250]

thanks for that reminder could not remember how to do that thank Jenny

[@ack5259]

Hi Jenny, Thanks for this great tutorial. I wish I could learn from you tricks for lantern or pineapple quilt.

[@arscaixas]

[@craftymom7]

Oh my goodness Jenny! You make EVERYTHING look sooooooo easy! Whats a girl to do?..... LOL. Jenny , which one should I do as a beginner. Thanks Jenny.

[@ladytalon]

Looks like your iron is haunted, lol! I jumped when it did!

[@irenamangone]

lovely thanks.

[@Pochuchy]

Jenny!! thank you for the great tutorials!! would you please add to your list of videos to do.... a tutorial for the quilt behind you to your left???? the one with the rings? I really really want to learn that one!!! thank you!!!

[@maryrhudy9250]

I like to do these blocks with scraps and save them up to make other quilts with. And am I the only girl out there who likes to use plain unbleached muslin for quilt backgrounds sometimes? I just like the vintage look.

[@maregir]

Voce e muito simpatica e linda.Adoro seus trabalhos,parabens e muito sucesso e saude.

[@marietteforget7804]

Hi and thanks a lot! Guess what: I want to make it! 😎🌸

[@sangitakamat9553]

Thank u 💞

[@O8CanddyCaroll]

AMAZING block Ilove You Jenny /FUN IN poland:)

[@Gigi-fv9ky]

Yet another great tutorial. This had me puzzled at first about why you didn't just sew around all 4 edges of the original 2 10" blocks and then cut it apart into an "X" to make your half-square triangles. (I learned that technique from you a few videos back and I'm enamored with it, LOL.) But, is it that the way you showed here gives you the alternating pattern and saves another step? I'm not an orange person, but I sure loved the lavender and pink fabric with touches of green in the samples.

[@all95621]

Thanks

[@jerimadsen4323]

Love the project! Ordered fabric with a friend who is new to quilting so we are going to do it together. Also was fascinated by the iron! Just a quick question for anyone out there - for making the quilt shown - how much fabric do you need for the backing? I wanted to get the pattern I like but with it not finished did not know how much to order. Thanks!

[@rhondapolk3138]

just watched the video- sew easy....found a pkg. of 10" squares I love...how much white fabric would I need?

[@mquiggins]

I would LOVE to see a tutorial on how to do that lovely wedding ring quilt in the background, if y'all are taking request. :) ;)

[@evelynibarra7548]

Love you're teaching,where did you get your iron it's awesome,can you please let me know the name of iron,and where you got it. Thanks!!🤔

[@stitchnmouse]

Layer cakes are individual pieces of fabric that measure 10"x10".

[@DoggyIdol1]

I would also love to see a tutuorial on pineapple quilt

[@jessicalanning8478]

Hey Jenny. Thank you for all your videos. I am in a bind (no pun intended) - Do I need to straight line each block before sewing them together?

[@all95621]

Can you tell me how much fabric I need to make it with just two colors? Love your projects. Thanks for sharing.

[@maunaproctor1611]

OK Jennie I'm trying to figure out two different blocks that play together to make a more exciting quilt. Any suggestions?

[@jesshothersall]

I love this hovercraft iron, how does it do that?

[@msqcservice6969]

Jannyb55, that is a great idea! I think you should definitely give this a try :)

[@amyl239]

The quilting is beautiful. What thread color was used for the top?

[@itsmelaura1533]

I was wondering why you didn't do the half square triangles by sewing around the edges and cutting them apart like you showed us in the "Fast and Easy Pinwheels" video? Wouldn't you get the same results without as much sewing?
