I love her comment "Finished is better than perfect"!
I gave up on perfection and almost gave up on quilting until I watched this video. My quilts will never be showstoppers, just blankets made with love! Isn’t that what we are trying to pass on to our grandchildren?
Absolutely! Finished is ALWAYS better than perfect!
I am the same way...made with love but never as you say show stoppers
i know im asking randomly but does anybody know a tool to get back into an instagram account?
I was stupid forgot the login password. I would appreciate any help you can give me
@Rogelio Raiden instablaster :)
@Izaiah Caleb I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
“Finished is better than perfect”……I love that!
I will send my project than. If it was not for Jenny I would not be sewing. Jenny is my inspiration.
We are so happy to know that Jenny has sparked some creativity within you! Happy sewing!
It’s wonderful to see a left hand quilter
I made a lap quilt with this pattern, it turned out beautifully! Thanks Jenny!
OMG! After watching my mother-in-law hand piece the granny square, I had put it on the "won't ever be doing that" list (along with the wedding ring & the cathedral window) but now I am doing to do the granny square!!! I have the perfect jellyroll, the Monet set with a heavy cream background. I am so excited!!!!!
Beverly, that sounds beautiful! We hope you share pictures with us as you finish your project! :) Happy sewing!

There are some great tutorials out there on the cathedral windows
Watch many of them they all teach a little trick to make it easier and one way might be easier for you than another try a couple... good luck
Growing up I had no one to teach me quilting ... I pulled a good one ... at 45, I decided to make a quilt. The quilt was a king size quilt with 2" finished squares in a "Around the World" pattern. No pre-cut strips, no special cutter (just scissors) and no sewing strips together, then cutting the strips of blocks ... no one had told me that could be done to make it easier. I added a 6" border ... and hand quilted it (without a quilter's rack) ... turned out better than I expected. With it, I won an honorable mention at the fair. That experience kinda put the idea of more quilts on the back burner ... I worked full time. Oh how I wish I knew someone like you, way back then. (I'll be 70 this year ... and still have the quilt.) You have motivated me to getting back into it again. ;) Thank-you! (I think ... nah, just kidding ... I'm sure.) Have you ever wondered how many quilts have been inspired by you ... quilts that would not be here, if not for you? :) The memories of warm hugs that now come to mind wrapped in the warm quilt around you, even tho the quilter is no longer here. You inspire more than you know. God bless.
Jo Ann McCraw I hope all your children and especially grandchild have a blanket/quilt made with love
I believe in putting hugs into something like a stuffed animal so child ham hug it and be comforted
Wouldn’t it be nice for kids to have grandma hugs that last way beyond your lifetime and hugs don’t wash out but you can always add more to it then all they need to do to feel you closer is to wrap it around them to have a hug and love.
I wish I had a quilt from my grandma.
Amazing. I'm fascinated by your self lifting iron
Holy cow granny squares. What great shortcuts. You rock, Jenny!
Genius. You are a genius
Absolutely gorgeous
beautiful this project Jenny, I was searching the technique easy and now you share with us your technique in this tutorial, I love all your tutorial because in each project are no wasted our fabrics and all the material is used, Thank you .
Totally genius and amazing ! Thank you.
This one is in my list.
Love how easy this is and no waste. Thank you
I really like the softened points .
Once I was watching Sewing with Nancy, and Nancy Zieman (rest her soul--I miss her!) showed how if you have a longer fabric that you need to ease in, you put it on the bottom and the feed dogs will ease it in....just like you did, Jenny. Her little memory aid was : Feed the Dogs. I loved it and have never forgotten it. Thanks for the video tutorial!
Me too. I love 💕 all the awesome tutorials.
Nancy zieman
In watching this after sewing the initial units together, I believe the bottom corner is going to end up in the center of the blocks. I’m re-looking at my units with this in mind. I hope I’m looking at it correctly. It’s such a pretty pattern. Happy sewing 🧵!
You make it look so easy.❤
Giving up on perfect gives you quilting wings 😂 love the block and the missing points. I want to try this using QAYG. Thank you super tutorial.
Fun blocks. I can see this wee beauty with bright bright colours. Neon green, hot pinks, turquoise etc., would be super in a younger age room. It’s a beauty. Plus it’s a jelly roll quilt. Fantastic.
Lynne Martin I totally agree!!! The new feedsack line by Me & My Sister would be the bomb!!!!
Thanks a lot! 🌸🌸
Jenny makes quilting fun.
When I made my first quilt, I didn't have a computer or any family around to teach me. Boy oh boy ... do I wish I knew you back then. My first quilt was a "Trip Around the World" (California King size) made with 2 inch finished squares (1,088 squares) ... no individual blocks ... just all squares and one 6 inch border. I sewed the squares on the sewing machine, but hand quilted it. Got an "honorable mention" at the local fair. It was a labor of love for my then boyfriend (now husband). It took me more than 6 months to make ... I worked full time at that time. Just now getting back to quilting .... you make it so quick and easy ... love it!
What a sweet story! We are happy to hear that you have stuck with quilting and now can accomplish some of the same beautiful patterns in much less time with some of the tips and tricks Jenny teaches! :) Thanks for sharing!
@@MissouriQuiltCo Jenny is a great teacher ... love her tutorials.
Beautiful quilt❤
Boy, I thought the block on point would be complicated. NOT the Jenny way, woo hoo! And I agree that the softening of the corners is a good look. Something different! I’m making this one!!!
Currently making this quilt. Excellent video tutorial!
I sure do love waking up to new video tutorials from Jenny!
Melissa Orona me too
Meeeee toooooo!
Melissa Orona
I live in oregon
So yes..... I too love waking up to a new tutorial by Jenny
In this quilt, I like the rounded corners; to me it looks like it would have been much more work to make. Adding this to my list of quilts to make.
I love your left handed too! Watching videos or people teach makes so much of a difference for us lefties!
Turn-About Granny! Perfect name!
Wonderful!!!!!!
losing the points actually gives it a kind of softer look. I like it.
Came outbeautiful
Love how the corners of color get chopped off. It gives the quilt a soft block looking edge. Soft like a grandma hug!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT BLOCK
I totally agree. It makes it softer.
I actually like the rounded corners...... if one looks at the quilt from a 15" distance it looks as if "oh, all the corners are cut off!" If one looks at the quilt from farther away, as most quilts will be looked at, it makes the design look softer....... like a granny's hug!
We're so glad you enjoyed it, Maria! :)
I agree with Shelly Boyle's and many of the other comments. I like the chopped off corners, too, making the soft edge. She's right----soft like a grandma's hug. Nice job, Jenny.!!
ORANGE looks Great on you Jenny!
So glad she found a way to make the Granny Square easy!! I did it in patriotic fabrics and it is so cute!
Estou fazendo este bloco ,olho várias vezes mas vou chegar lá ,sou grata❤
I absolutely love the rounded corners! Softens the original pattern. Just love it.
Love this quilt. No cutting triangles to set it on point, no worries about missing points. This will be my go to project when I need something fast.
Very nice!
What a fantastic block...honestly, I had no idea where you were going with it when you began...what you had going on the mat did NOT match what I was seeing on the wall behind you...thank you for another wonderful tutorial! 👍🏻👵🏻
I love that this doesn't have me stressing out about the points not getting caught in the sashing.
I am a lefty too! So watching you cut is great!
I like the way the corners are cut off of the edges of the squares, it gives it very soft look.
Genius!
How pretty you look today. Happy Mothers Day!!
Happy Mother’s Day Jenny,I love this quilt you make quilting so easy and fun.Lots of Love to you and family and everyone at MSCQ.
Very cool pattern. Thank You.
i love this -I'm just doing an Irish chain quilt at the moment might do a mini next. Build those skills
👍💟 love your sweater
Fantastic Jenny, Am making one for my son's 60th birthday.
We're so happy to hear that Ann! Be sure to let us know how it turns out.
Ann Correll
Lucky son
I’m #4 of 6
My mom made the mistake of sew and tell about her first 50year quilt for #1 child.... she slaved over the top queen size top and got only the top done before number one hit fifty.... so she showed him and he turned up his nose at it and said no thanks I don’t like it or the colors so.... mom had a dark browns perfectly pieced top that she’ll probably never finish and find a grateful person that will love it... she also used first run fabrics. Spendy.
and #2 got hers on time just two years later all done each square uniquely different touch and feel textured squares and all batiks and added dimensions.... turned out beautiful and with matching pillows case/shams.
#3, her fabric was picked washed and sits stacked ready to cut. with design and cut measurements all there with it.
I’m now 51.... I begged my mom to start mine when I turned 49.....
May I add she has a long arm queen sized..... she’s quite the talented accomplished sewer. She does fee motion machine embroidery too which preference over digital machine embroidery
Another great tutorial. There is only 1 problem...
Every time I watch your videos I was to start a new quilt! Geez lol, now I want to start a Granny Square!! Oh and I love that iron!!

The op bet you could do a couple squares of each of her new tutorials and eventually make a real scrappy quilt.
My quilt I have two rolls and two stacks of little squares and some white background I hope my background is a heavier white cause I don’t like sheer background
But I’m making plenty of random fun squares just trying out and brushing up on my skills.
Happy Mother's Day, Jenny and thank you for another great quilt tutorial!
I am currently looking at fabric that I can't decide on a pattern for my next quilt project. This is it. AND I am going to make a wooden plaque "FINISHED IS BETTER THAN PERFECT". That's a great granny quote for my grand and great grand children to hear. Thanks for both of these.
"Finished is better than perfect"! I'm going to write this on a post it note and attach to my machine! I just finished piecing my first ever quilt top last night! So I'm super excited to head on over to Hamilton to spend the the day in Missouri Star Quilting Co to find my backing!!
Congrats on your first quilt top, Pam! That's such a wonderful accomplishment, and we can't wait to see it! We're looking forward to seeing you here in Hamilton!!! :)
I love this idea. Points don't always matter, anyway. -well, not to everyone.
Molto bello Jenny grazie 😍
You had me going there for a minute, have to admit, like What is she doing??? Such a great quilt! I love the softened corners - they look gentle and old-fashioned, like a crocheted Granny Square blanket. As I watched I was marveling at your creative mind. Such a gift to the world! I look forward to making this one.
Really clever! I thought you pieced all those little triangles!
What a beautiful quilt with beautiful colours！ 👍👍👍
Rewatching this video & bells go off. I have the perfect jelly roll, waiting for an adorable pattern. Jenny you’ve done it again! Sparked my enthusiasm. Thanks so much for all you do. Now, years ago, & every time I forget to say thank you to all your crew! Happy sewing 🧵!
I really like this pattern and I'll be doing one hopefully this year yet.
Fantastic!!! Thank you!
I love that the points are softened with this method. I can’t wait to get some cream colored strips to go with my Civil war jelly roll!!! Next project for sure. Thank you so much for your tutorials. Friday morning is my favorite part of the week!!!’
It's so soft with the look of rounded corners! However, I still can't figure out why those center blocks still look the same size as the outer ones after the quadrants are sewn together. It's like magic!
Jenny, the rounded corners make it look like the traditional granny square: the crocheted type made of yarn! For those of us who never quite get all our points sharp this is a bonus!
I really love the color of your sweater, and it looks pretty on you...👍🏻👵🏻
not only these batiks are so beautiful, this is smart!
got to say; I LOVE your iron! never seen an iron rise up like that!
I was thrilled by the iron and couldn‘t concentrate on the piecing!
@@MrsGruenesLicht I know, lol, look again :D
Nice and easy
Oh my word! I didn’t see that coming when you cut the patches into triangles and put them together like that! Jenny, your mind is amazing to think of these! Love your tutorials. I’m putting this one on my loonngg to-do list.
Jenny's a genius!
I appreciate that you make two of the same quilts with these tutorials. I can barely finish one quilt before getting annoyed with it mid way through, let alone make two, one after the other.
Wow! I couldn’t see how this was going to look like the quilt until you cut the block diagonally. Amazing technique! Thanks!
Not yet a year later, I am still wondering what I am going to do with hundreds of 2 1/2" blocks? (laughing) I did them years ago with intention of doing an Irish Chain or something similar. How easy these are to do now and, well, guess I will teach my granddaughter's how to to the paper stitching. ;) Happy February to you folks. LOVE the Granny Square and it does look like a crocheted afghan.
Oh I love you lady!!!
We love you too!
Love it, very beautiful
I can finally lose points on purpose!!!! Love this pattern!! Thanks, Jenny. Oh- your sweater goes with the quilt!! :)
thanks thanks 😊 me encanta 🥰
I gotta tell ya, I looked at this quilt with trepidation because of the tiny squares. Boy, was I relieved when I saw the 2.5" strips! This one I can manage. Thanks for making it so much easier!
Awesome!!! Thank you for sharing this as a free pattern.
If you work with half strips instead of full strips you will get more of a variety. Fun pattern!
I love your idea. I'm doing it now and the variety of color combinations is so much fun. Thanks for the tip!
So great to see you!
Fantastic! Thank you so much!!!
How fun!
Jenny, I love it! 🤟🏻
🌻Happy Mother’s day🌻
Thank you for making it real. Real good, real easy. Happy Mothers Day from Australia.
Wonderful quilt, Jenny! I just love it. 🎀💕🎀💕🎀
I just love your joy and your natural way of doing things - you are my kind of quilter - don’t stress just create
It would look nice in Christmas fabric
That would be a great combo Audra! Great idea!
Losing the points isn’t a bother because it feels purposeful and the look is nice and soft.
Love it!
"Finished is better than perfect." This inspires me so much, Jenny! I have just hand basted my very first quilt top and backing after approximately 15 years! Don't know what I was even thinking when I made the quilt top and back. They are 9 feet by 9 feet! Lots of room for practicing free motions quilting samples. Everyone has to have a "first," right? Love this quilt, too!!! Will make it, eventually. "Turnabout Granny"...that's me to a T!
Agreed! This is my new mantra!! Finished is better than perfect. I made a beautiful Alter Ego quilt in fall colors that you showed and I made a scalloped Edge it was so beautiful. But while I was making those little blocks I ran out of my favorite Fabric and wanted to use it just a little bit more. I piece together scraps to make two tiny blocks and I was afraid that it would be a flaw in the quilt. It takes us a long time to find them when we try to look for them they just don't show and the quilt is gorgeous! Finished is better than perfect!
Youre so right! I hope everyone is having fun and staying well!
I love the softened edges. Makes it look old around the edges.
I can't believe this video is a year old. I rushed to try this one using gray prints and a black background. It is stunning! I want to hurry up and finish this one and start another. It goes together so quickly. YAY thanks Jenny for another fabulous quilt video.
Wow 😲 you make everything so quick and easy! 🥰
