Oh my goodness! I LOVE this quilt design. 1929 is the year my mother was born, so that caught my eye. And I LOVE old-design quilts so much. Of course now I need one of those rulers. Woohoo! Excited!
I bought the template about a year ago but have been intimidated to try it 😂 but this will be the pattern I follow. I can do this! Thanks for all you do, Jenny!❤
This quilt is stunning and the fabric is gorgeous! Love the story about the woman finding all those old newspaper patterns. What was old is new again! Thank heavens for our innovations in the quilting world. Imagine what quilter's from 1929 would be saying if they saw what we use today! I've been wanting to make a drunkard path quilt for awhile so I have been eyeing your ruler and now another use! Thanks again MSQC and looking forward to more "old patterns made new again"!!
I am fortunate to still have my grandmother with us. She was born in the early 20s and has been sewing since she was 5 or 6. So, I can't speak for the entire era but I know one who thinks all our rulers and gadgets are a waste of money, lol! 1929 was the beginning of the Great Depression so they are very careful with their money and resources. I, on the other hand, buy every gadget that catches my eye and she shakes her head at me
Made this quilt from scraps. I was skeptical at first that I could do the curved seams accurately. I bought the template and it was so easy. A few blocks in I did not need to pin. Went so fast and I was amazed how well it turned out. Thanks Jenny.
I’m super excited now....I just ordered the drunkards path template and I have a stack of layer cakes waiting for the perfect pattern and this one will be a Quilt of Valor with a patriotic layer cake I have!!!!!! Thanks Jenny for bringing this 1929 pattern to new life!
Thanks Jenny. Thinking about the utility of the quilts from time gone by, particularly from the 1920’s. The Great Depression defied a generation, my Grandparents and Parents. Memories not forgotten, but significants lost on me at the time. Sleeping under quilts sewn by hand from scraps, backed with pieced flower sacks, quilted by oh so many hands. Now more of an art form than a utilitarian garment, quilting is my legacy to give to the next generation. Nothing says warmth and love like a hand made quilt. Getting the drinkers path templates, it’s a utilitarian ruler😉. Best Regards, and happy quilting?
I have been avoiding curved piecing and the drunkards path in particular. Jenny this is a wonderful tip on sewing those curved pieces. Thank you so very much.
We just love rulers and templates that have more than one use, Mary. Makes them an investment in a tool rather than a one-time use, and you know how much we hate waste!
Love the detailed part showing how to sew the curves. It gives me the confidence to try this. I have the template and a pack of 10 inch squares, so I am without excuses.
I would love to see more of those ... 1929 patterns ... maybe on a Jenny & Misty live chat ... I liked the kitchen table chat it was fun ... like we got to come hang out with you all .. love from Calif
Love this pattern. Thanks for showing it. I was terrified of curves when I did my first Drunkard's Path quilt, but, as you showed in the close ups, they really aren't that hard after all. And it gives you such a sense of accomplishment when you can show it to someone. They woo and awe and say "Oh, I could never do curves like that." And you just smile because you know the secret...until you feel generous and teach them how to do it, too. LOL
I love this quilt and the one you made with the star between the blocks, Wandering Star, both made with the small drunkard’s path template. I love everything you do but this one really caught me. I am going to make it next. I already have the 10” squares waiting to be cut! Can’t wait to get started on this! I so appreciate the amazing videos showing how to do it. Don’t need a pattern, just watch! So much easier than reading a pattern! You are amazing. Thanks Jenny and team! Love you all!
I LOVE seeing this old 1929 pattern!! Great pattern! And I really love all of the closeup camera work as of late that allows us to see the needle view up close!!
Oh Jenny, with all your extra tutorial tips on curved piecing, I think I have the confidence to try this pattern as my first curve-pieced quilt. Thank you for sharing such an awesome teaching technique! ~Diana from Hamilton (ON, Canada) :-)
I just MIGHT have to get this template and try this quilt. Love it! Watching you this morning has made me think that maybe, just maybe, I could make the curves work. I've always been afraid to try them. Thanks for this video.
I absolutely love every tutorial that Jenny does! Almost every time I think, man it would be so awesome if they had a different camera angle! Something closer to the sewing machine. Yesssss my wish came true! Lol thank you for always being so generous with your knowledge, Jenny.
you probably dont give a shit but does anybody know of a method to log back into an Instagram account? I stupidly lost my account password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me.
@Armani Enzo i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
wow! this is EXTRA fantastic! i ADORE the secondary "circles" pattern that emerges... Curves are my arch nemesis...but I think i'll give this one a try. Thanks Jenny!
You easily convince me I can sew any quilt top!!!! You, literally, kept me quilting! I’ve some UFQs I must finish & then... Thanks, Mrs. Doan!!! One of my blessings! Maybe, sometime, I could learn the best way to piece the backing! Could sure use some tips for that! 😉
Thank you for the close up Jenny! Waiting oh so impatiently for my drunkard’s path small to arrive, so that I can start on the ‘Wandering Star’ quilt. :) . Now I have another pattern for grandson #5. He loves playing ‘football’ (soccer)!!
What a great tutorial! The close shot of you sewing those curves sent me straight to your website to order that template set and a layer cake. How smart to figure out this old pattern making it easy for us to make such a complicated looking quilt. That Drunkards Path template has been on my wish list for a while but I wasn’t sure about sewing curves. Now I think I can do it. Thank you Jenny and video crew!
If you don’t want to pin the circles glue baste them with Elmers school glue before sewing. It washes out when you wash the quilt too. That way there is no seam ripping if a mistake is made. Once the glue is dry, which you can heat set to dry, it won’t hurt your machine. It turns out perfect every time. Love this pattern!
I really like this block.I found it very hard to cut with my regular rotary cutter. I would suggest if anybody else has trouble to buy a very small rotary cutter and that helps a lot. Thank you for the great tutorial love all of them making that exact quilt...😍👍🏻
The pattern your friend found came from the Kansas City Star newspaper which published the patterns from 1928 through 1961. Barbara Beckman published a book on them. I found a treasure trove of them in a trunk and treasure them. Nice adaptation, as usual you are the best. Jodi Moses
Thanks, Jodi! We'd surely love to see some of your work with those patterns, sometime. Feel free to post them on social with #msqcshowandtell when you get the chance!
Love the close up angle! I've only done one quilt with curves like this and I had so many pins in it to try and make it work. This makes me want to try again and make some variation of this, or another, quilt.
Just got the ruler and can’t wait to try this. Think I’m going to play with what corners I do (switch them up to give a solid circle rather than a patchwork). Will share if it works!
Love it! I love all those old style patterns. Reminds me of my Country mom. Now I wish I had kept all those patterns. Love watching you sew. Your a riot☺❤💜💙💛
I love this and actually I was just thinking of this last night, “what if”... and then I wake up to see your tutorial! I love it, Jenny! Thank you for continuously sharing your gift. I look forward to every Friday!
This quilt will be really cute in flannel. Could you do a tuitorial using flannel? Those of us that use primarily cotton (or at least me) are a little afraid to try flannel b/c we've heard it's difficult.
LOVED the close up on those curves!!! Super helpful!!! Looks like I'm going to need a drunkard's path ruler soon so I can start sewing some curves! Great tutorial as usual :)
Thanks Jenny for sharing how to sew the curves! I have a pattern with all different sizes and shapes. Your ruler would have sure made that quilt easier.
So, I saw this on my FB page and I instantly loved the quilt. And I think, “ oh, she’s used the drunkard’s path template and done a four patch. How cute!” Then, I watch the video and you FOLDED IT. AARRGH! So brilliant and easy! I also really appreciate the curved sewing closeup, cuz I’m trying a winding ways pattern and I hate it! But, maybe curves are conquerable. I hope so. I want to try this pattern! Thanks, Jenny and MSQC!
When I made this I pressed to the dark side so that when I put the blocks together the seams nested. If you press them all in, your blocks won't nest. That curve is on the bias so it is just as happy going in, as it is going out. :) ALSO, pie shape on the bottom!
I too stitch with the concave part on top, and with great success. Just for fun I’ll try it the other way. I also find that you can press that seam either away or towards the “pie” shaped piece with equal success.
If it had not been for the close-ups as you sew the curves, I would not have understood it. I am a "if I see it, I can do it" type of person. Thank-you, Jenny.
I really really like this pattern! I got the drunkards path ruler recently though II haven’t had a chance to use it yet. This is definitely one for the to do list.
So nice to hear you use the correct language: convex and concave! To avoid confusion, remember that you go "into" a cave. I've been practicing curved piecing without pins and find that it's better to put the concave piece on top to avoid any little folds. It really works! pinning is good, but, when you're doing a lot of the Drunkard's Path blocks, pinning gets too time consuming.
I love your quilt Tutorials, you seem to love the curves now! Awesome! A quick tip, for a stiletto, I went to the dollar store and they have small wooden dowels that are about the size of a pencil, I bought a pack and sharpened them with a pencil sharpener, I am always misplacing them and the grandkids seem to help them disappear as well!
If you find your paper, inks or watercolor paints disappearing at a suspiciously similar rate as your sharpened dowels, you'll know where the grandkids are taking them!
What a great quilt! This one has me wondering what it would look like with 2 colors, black and white maybe or all different corners but same centers. Just wondering! Endless possibilities! Thanks Jenny!
This was a great video, as usual, and the close-up shots of the sewing were very helpful. I have a suggestion. I happened to notice that Jenny was using a smaller rotary cutter; a size 28 perhaps? I noticed that it probably made cutting the curves easier than if she had used a size 45 or 60. For beginners like me, it would be helpful to note that in future videos. This is not a criticism of the videos; Jenny is always giving helpful tips! Keep up the good work!
ok, I learned several things from this, but at 4:31 seeing the light fabric laying on the pressing board before she pressed it I learned that in 1929 they un-intentionally invented the thong...just add straps. Hope you get a chuckle from this too!!! Thankyou Jenny!!!
OMG that is so ironic that you came out with this tutorial, I don't have this template but I have the one you used in "The Waves" quilt and I just saw a pattern called "Polarity" that is made using the drunkards path template that I have and the circles of course show up in that one as well. I think mine will be just a tad easier although I now love sewing curves so really doesn't matter. Another winner Jenny!!
Our quilt guild does a lot of quilts of valor, this is another great idea for for that theme. Thanks for the tutorial and the inspiration to do more to honor those that have served us!
Thanks Jenny - I’m a gadget Gerty so have more rulers than I’ve ever used - I need one of those drunkards path rulers - makes cutting so much easier - been quilting since the “quilting revival” in the 1980’s so know how to use paper/cardboard templates but the rulers cut down on cutting time and are more accurate - I’ve made my last few quilts from your tutorials and I am so pleased I found the Missouri Star 🌟 I live in Port Elizabeth South Africa and the internet is a perfect link for us quilters - happy stitching 🧵 Dianne
That clipping was published in the book: "101 Patchwork Patterns" by Ruby McKim. That GREAT book is hard to get now but some used copies are still around. It was my FIRST quilt book. In 9th grade I looked at it before I fell asleep and just knew I could pick ONE PATTERN to make. Folks that choice TOOK ME A YEAR to decide! Could not make up my mind. Finally, I just said: "I will make 'SUSANNAH' because my name is Susan! I did make it. I should have used contrast fabric however! And I used alternate plain baby blue gingham squares and I hand quilted (on a wooden floor frame) navy spiderwebs in them (So gastly ugly!). Well, MY FIRST QUILT.
Oh my goodness! I LOVE this quilt design. 1929 is the year my mother was born, so that caught my eye. And I LOVE old-design quilts so much. Of course now I need one of those rulers. Woohoo! Excited!
I bought the template about a year ago but have been intimidated to try it 😂 but this will be the pattern I follow. I can do this! Thanks for all you do, Jenny!❤

I have been avoiding curved piecing and the drunkards path in particular. Jenny this is a wonderful tip on sewing those curved pieces. Thank you so very much.
The best tutorial I have ever seen on how to sew curves together. Now I'm actually going to do it and no more wishing I could do it.
Cynthia, we're so glad to hear that! Thanks for taking the time to message us!
The best teacher ever! I love her personality!
I LOVE that there is so little waste! Such a pretty quilt!
Thanks, Stitchgirl78! It's such a fun quilt!
I love that you are giving new life to this historic design. Please share more of the ones you found.
Since I got my Drunkards Path ruler from you last week, I've been having so much fun! And now here's another way to use it. Thanks Jenny!
We just love rulers and templates that have more than one use, Mary. Makes them an investment in a tool rather than a one-time use, and you know how much we hate waste!
Love the detailed part showing how to sew the curves. It gives me the confidence to try this. I have the template and a pack of 10 inch squares, so I am without excuses.
The close up of stitching the curves was Brilliant Jenny. I feel like I could do them now. Thank you for all that you do
Love seeing the old made modern again. Please share more of the newspaper patterns in your videos.

Keep on teaching, Kathleen... AFTER you get the amazed look, of course!
Oh my you have stolen my heart with this "Old" pattern, I jut have to make this..Thanks again, Jenny for a superb tutorial...
I love this quilt and the one you made with the star between the blocks, Wandering Star, both made with the small drunkard’s path template. I love everything you do but this one really caught me.

Such a natural teacher and so easy to follow as you are so engaging, thank you!
This is such a sweet block. Those patterns were a real find! And that ruler is brilliant!
Oh Jenny, with all your extra tutorial tips on curved piecing, I think I have the confidence to try this pattern as my first curve-pieced quilt. Thank you for sharing such an awesome teaching technique!
~Diana from Hamilton (ON, Canada) :-)
Happy to share, Diana, and hope you have fun with your first pieced curves!
Please show more of thse old block patterns from the 20s
Fantastic!!!!! I always sew curves without pins, gives you more freedom to move the fabric.
Thank you Jenny for this vid. I hope you do more of those 1929 blocks!!!
That is one of the sweetest blocks I have seen. Thanks. I have a layer cake that will be perfect.
I'm from India and I m a fan of all Ur tutorials
Not just I enjoyed the tutorial but I simply love how nice you are!
I just MIGHT have to get this template and try this quilt. Love it! Watching you this morning has made me think that maybe, just maybe, I could make the curves work. I've always been afraid to try them. Thanks for this video.
Give those curves a try! You might be surprised at how easy they can be after you've seen how it's done a few times.
EXCITED!!!! got the ruler for christmas can not wait to dive in!!!!!!
awesome pattern! Great way to use up scraps!!!!
thank. you for that close up 6:30 !
I absolutely love every tutorial that Jenny does! Almost every time I think, man it would be so awesome if they had a different camera angle! Something closer to the sewing machine. Yesssss my wish came true! Lol thank you for always being so generous with your knowledge, Jenny.
Love love that close up camera! so many times the angle in videos doesn’t show as well. Makes me reconsider the ruler.
We'll let our camera guys know the closeups are popular, Terri!
Ohh can't wait to try this! Thanks for sharing!
Thank You, Jenny!!!
Thank you for showing the closeups of the curves being stitched. You made it very understandable!
you probably dont give a shit but does anybody know of a method to log back into an Instagram account?
I stupidly lost my account password. I appreciate any tips you can offer me.
@Brayan Willie instablaster =)
@Armani Enzo i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
@Armani Enzo It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much, you saved my ass!
@Brayan Willie Glad I could help =)
wow! this is EXTRA fantastic! i ADORE the secondary "circles" pattern that emerges... Curves are my arch nemesis...but I think i'll give this one a try. Thanks Jenny!
You might be surprised how easy those curves can be once you've seen it done!
Love this Jenny! You’re so clever. Gotta get this ruler to make this for my relaxation week after Christmas.
Another GREAT curved pattern! I really enjoy watching you cut...not often I see another left-handed person cutting quilt pieces.
My small drunkards path arrived this afternoon! I can start.....
Yay, Sheila! Happy quilting!
You easily convince me I can sew any quilt top!!!! You, literally, kept me quilting! I’ve some UFQs I must finish & then... Thanks, Mrs. Doan!!! One of my blessings! Maybe, sometime, I could learn the best way to piece the backing! Could sure use some tips for that! 😉
Thank you for the close up Jenny! Waiting oh so impatiently for my drunkard’s path small to arrive, so that I can start on the ‘Wandering Star’ quilt. :) . Now I have another pattern for grandson #5. He loves playing ‘football’ (soccer)!!
Beautiful patterns!!!!
Fabulous. Another one added to my to make list.
I made this one and used 2 layer cakes. It turned out great. Thanks for this tutorial. Without it, curves would have been the bane of my existence lol
The close up was great..can u do more of these on other quilt piecing?
Beautiful quilt ..love it....and thanks for the generous tips ...awesome tutorial!
What a great tutorial! The close shot of you sewing those curves sent me straight to your website to order that template set and a layer cake.

I have the rotating cutting board by Fisker’s and I LOVE it for so many projects.

Wow!! I really need to get that drunkards ruler! Love this and thank you for the close up!
What a fabulous quilt pattern! I have just the layer cake in mind! Nice tutorial, thank you!
Love it! I love all those old style patterns. Reminds me of my Country mom. Now I wish I had kept all those patterns. Love watching you sew. Your a riot☺❤💜💙💛
I love this and actually I was just thinking of this last night, “what if”... and then I wake up to see your tutorial! I love it, Jenny! Thank you for continuously sharing your gift. I look forward to every Friday!
This quilt will be really cute in flannel. Could you do a tuitorial using flannel? Those of us that use primarily cotton (or at least me) are a little afraid to try flannel b/c we've heard it's difficult.
That is such a darling idea, and something we need to be sure to look more into.
Love this idea!
LOVED the close up on those curves!!! Super helpful!!! Looks like I'm going to need a drunkard's path ruler soon so I can start sewing some curves! Great tutorial as usual :)

Loving this quilt Jenny, thank you
Great video and instructions. This one I want to try. Have to love the old patterns.🧵🧵🇨🇦
Yes, thank you for the close up as I am angleeeee challenged also. Bless you. I have the ruler and I must try this one. Great pattern!
I really really like this pattern! I got the drunkards path ruler recently though II haven’t had a chance to use it yet. This is definitely one for the to do list.
I just had 2 different what if moments. I need the rulers or to make some templates now 😂
Thanks Jenny for the awesome tutorial
SAME!!!
Thank you. Love this one. Are there other vintage designs like that?
So nice to hear you use the correct language: convex and concave! To avoid confusion, remember that you go "into" a cave. I've been practicing curved piecing without pins and find that it's better to put the concave piece on top to avoid any little folds. It really works! pinning is good, but, when you're doing a lot of the Drunkard's Path blocks, pinning gets too time consuming.
I really like this one! I was glad to see you pieced it. I was afraid you were going to machine applique those corners on. Great quilt!
Just ordered this template last week. Yea!
I love your quilt Tutorials, you seem to love the curves now! Awesome! A quick tip, for a stiletto, I went to the dollar store and they have small wooden dowels that are about the size of a pencil, I bought a pack and sharpened them with a pencil sharpener, I am always misplacing them and the grandkids seem to help them disappear as well!
If you find your paper, inks or watercolor paints disappearing at a suspiciously similar rate as your sharpened dowels, you'll know where the grandkids are taking them!
@@MissouriQuiltCo normally my scissors, colored pencils for pattern drawings and painter's tape disappears at alarming levels ;-)p
So cool !!
What a great quilt! This one has me wondering what it would look like with 2 colors, black and white maybe or all different corners but same centers. Just wondering! Endless possibilities! Thanks Jenny!
Try some out and let us know how they turn out!
Wow thank you Jenny lovely
Love this quilt and just purchased that ruler recently!
I like. Old mill path quilt 👌😀❤️
Love this quilt
Great tutorial, lovely fabric, and wonderful pattern. If I didn't have 900 other UFOs and projects in-line already, I'd go for this.👌📏✂️
Yessss for the closeups
Wow looks so easy
This was a great video, as usual, and the close-up shots of the sewing were very helpful. I have a suggestion. I happened to notice that Jenny was using a smaller rotary cutter; a size 28 perhaps?

This is not a criticism of the videos; Jenny is always giving helpful tips! Keep up the good work!
Hi, elizabethdekalb! That is a standard size 45 rotary cutter that she used in this tutorial. Hope this helps!
Love antiques
ok, I learned several things from this, but at 4:31 seeing the light fabric laying on the pressing board before she pressed it I learned that in 1929 they un-intentionally invented the thong...just add straps. Hope you get a chuckle from this too!!! Thankyou Jenny!!!
