I used this pattern from this tutorial to make my first quilt. I used clothes that were my mother in laws. For the sashing I used her jeans. It turned out so well. I would not have had the courage to do this without watching these videos. I also followed the machine binding tutorial to bind the quilt. Thank you so much for these wonderful tutorials. I am so grateful.
If I'm not mistaken, I think you can chain piece the 5 in. squares to the 21/2 in. strips then cut them apart the same way as the falling charms quilt. I finished the falling charms quilt yesterday and I love it!
I love to watch your videos Jenny and I love this quilt as blue is my favorite color! I have learned so much from watching your videos, so thank you, Jenny!
Love this pattern and the fabric it is made with!! Right now I'm working on last week's tutorial on the 'Whimsical Shoofly' quilt - those blocks go together amazingly fast. Thank you for all your tutorials, Jenny! Love each one :)!
So cute. And since i LOVE blue it is right up my alley. Bonus i just got a brand new Baby Lock Amanda machine and it sews so beautifully. Worth every penny. I am happy to sew again after struggling for several years with a cheap machine.
Love this pattern! Thank you so much, Jenny, for such awesome patterns, which you explain so well, and giving me the ability to create masterpieces that will be treasured for years!! 💜
I made this quilt for myself and love it. My kids and grand kids keep asking for it, so I guess I will need to make more for gifts. Maybe a patriotic one next.
Love Jenny, wish she lived next door to me. She and the hubs deserve so much credit for creating a wonderful family. Bless them all, and keep those tutorial videos coming. Better than any soap opera that I watched in my younger days!
I made this last week and it's the most gorgeous thing - I did five charms across by six down for a lovely cot sized quilt. The only problem is on washing, the charm squares have shrunk a lot more than the white strips I used, so there's quite a bit of puckering along the white bits. Let's hope the quilting process will hide some of that!
I could watch Jenny all day long. The camera just loves her. Such a great teacher. She was the first quilter who made me believe I could do this. It was the one where she races to sew the jelly roll together that got me.
I love this! But I'd need to make it bigger. I'm math - challenged, so I have no idea how to get this to, say, a 88" x 90. When you post the instructions, maybe you all could do the math and product numbers for me...or us. I'm not the only one who hates quilt math. Love this and so many other projects.
3scifimom If I have trouble with math I sketch it out on graph paper and figure out themeasurements that way. Each block finishes 4.5 inches and sashing finishes 2 inches so a "block" measures 6.5 inches finished plus an additional 2" sashing on the end gives you a row or a column.
You could get a similar effect with a disappearing 9-patch, I think. If the middle square & corner squares are all patterned ones & the others are white (or whatever you want as the sashing colour). You'd probably still have to do a "small square & sashing" inner border, if you see what I mean. I wonder which would be "easier" or faster. I suppose it would depend on what the individual crafter prefers working with, larger or smaller pieces.
You sure can Hashini! You can find and buy all the supplies we used for this quilt by clicking on the links below! :) www.missouriquiltco.com/land/tutorials/super-simple-squares-quilt/index.html? www.missouriquiltco.com/shop/browse?q=cutting%20mats
I just did the math using the PDF file for this quilt. I see the 69" for the width. But I cannot figure out how you are getting 82" for the length! Going down: I count 9 of the 5" squares, 12 of the 2 1/2" strips, and am guessing you used a 6" border. Taking all the seam allowances into account, I get (9 x 4.5) + (12 x 2) + (2 x 5.75) = 76 inches. What am I missing?
I made a quilt like this using the nine patch block, cut into quarters. After assembling, I just had to add sashing with small squares to two of the sides edge of the quilt.
It's been a few months....since I have been on MSQC ....I have been really ill, so this is a great "Easy " project to think about starting. Thanks Jenny, Missed you and everyone at MSQC ! :)
This DOES look super simple! I'm eager to give this a try as my first quilt project. It might be great for using up scraps as well! Thanks for a great tutorial. I'll definitely give it a shot.
I made this awhile ago. It was one of the first quilts I made and did FMQ on it. I saw on Sew very Easy how to use a C arc and echo, and just keep going. I used the beautiful earthly paradise of William Morris prints. Just gorgeous, and it's nice because I didn't have to cut up the charms squares and diminish the prints. Thanks-You Jenny... Sometimes easy is better for the fabric!!
What is the overall size of this quilt made as per ur video? I can't believe I would need 5 yds of backing if the backing material is 90" wide. But not sure of the overall size...anybody know???
Nothing beats blue and white for beautiful. I am now making a variant of this pattern in blue grays. I am backing in gray with green batik oak leaves tumbling in the wind. I love quilting!
I'm thinking out loud, could you assembly line; sew using long strips of the white 2 1/2 strips and attached them with 5 inch squares and the same with 2 1/2 block. Hmm.
Linda R. I agree. I absolutely love the precuts when they save time cutting but sometimes on a less intricate block I find larger pieces easier to sew. Then cut into the smaller blocks all at once.
it is very cute! Sure wish I would have thought of that before I did my daughter's Christmas quilt. (I did the Diamond rail fence for her) Would also work with scraps I would imagine! Let your imagination roam with the possibilities of this one! Thanks again for another easy idea! :)
I totally love this quilt.. I've had some lovely fabric for ages but couldn't decide what quilt to make...Jenny thank you so much so glad I looked back thru your tutorials & saw this one ...I am starting this tonight..xx
I ordered this ruler and wonder how I ever lived without it!! So easy to handle and, since I love using charm packs, it is just perfect. Bought one for a quilting friend, too.
I was going to say the same thing! Cut this like a disappearing 9 patch and it’s so much easier than this. Jenny has a tutorial of a disappearing 9 patch.
40-42 Mona. 😁 there are usually duplicates (2) unless the description says otherwise. It will usually have all the patterns from one colorway for the design name. You should be able to see each pattern on one of the views that shows them all together. I usually take a photo of the entire set so I can match colors for the backing and/or one of the borders. Sometimes I use the 10” layer cakes (especially if they are on special) and cut them in fourths to get the equivalent of 4 packs of 5” squares. If you see a layer cake for $25 or something & the charm pack is $12 ($48) and cut it in fourths, you get your charms for $6.25 each and usually have 1-2 (depending on the pattern) left over for another project! 😀
Hi Jenny. Not sure how most people in America buy fabric but in Australia we mostly buy yardage (except it's meterage here). When you say things like "2 packs" I have no idea how much I need! Can you please tell us the yardage required as well so that your Aussie fans can easily get what they need? Love your videos. Thank you.
Thank you. I really love this one. And you make it 😊so easy and clearly explained. I’ll make mine red and white, though the blue and white is very peaceful..
Jenny, I love your tutorials! They are so simple and enjoyable to watch. And I think the best part is you! I always feel as though I'm sitting down with a dear old friend who's going to show me what she's been up to lately. Every tutorial is a warm hug!
Thanks for a comprehensive tutorial. What size quilt does that pattern make? I know 69"x82" but does that equate to a Twin or Queen bed size? I'd love to make it however Australian bedding sizes are different and because we use metric measurements, it can be confusing sometimes working out the size charts. I certainly don't want to buy too little (or too much) material from you lol.
Hello Jenny Wish you and the whole of MSQC family A Merry Christmas. I am training a batch of ladies how to make quilt blocks. And I think this is a suppperr easy block for a beginner's team like ours. I call myself a seasonal quilter as I hardly have sewn 10 quilts in the last 5 to 6 years since i started. It was a difficult journey for me but trying it make it a better one ( if not easy) for the ladies from the community who come from a very under privileged background. Thanks to you and your team for making such beautiful tutorials💗
What would be the fabric requirements for a queen-size quilt? How many rows and columns would I need? The only quilt I have ever made was a rag quilt. Thanks!
First of all, you, Jenny, are the best quilting teacher ever! You speak clearly, you don't mumble, or whisper - everything is just perfect. Plus, your sense of humor is a hoot! Okay, one question: I've been quilting for about 35 years, most of them for family, etc., but now I'd like to make an oversized king quilt for us, and I'm thinking of using Layer Cakes instead of Charm Packs. How many cakes do you think I would need? I'm sure I could figure it out, but I needed to write to you anyway, telling you how much I've enjoyed your tutorials. Thanks so much.
I love this pattern as I'm using vintage style and some modern style fabrics from MSQ. I have fabric cutter that cuts my fabric perfectly. Everyone here in Israel are amazed at my fabric collection and where did I get them I tell the MSQ of course!
How accurate do the side panels need to be sewn to the main square ? Mine end up one higher one lower. Help what am l doing wrong frustrated . Thank you
Thank you Jenny!!! Just what I needed! I've been looking for a design I wanted to do and you nailed it!! Love everything you do!! Can't wait to visit Missouri Star Quilt company one day.
Stank you Jenny. You are the fist to mention the pinked edges. It is a pain when you are using different manufactures and some of then are pinked and the others aren't.
I've been watching you for a few years and have learned a lot. However, I just watched this same quilt being done by the Gormet Quilter and I must say she makes it look a lot easier. She eliminates the need for the long strip that makes for a lot of seam matching which for me is a pain. :-)
Also, thank you for clarifying the measurement with pinked edge. I am learning to quilt and have been including the pinking in my quarter inch seams. Now I can do it correctly!
I feel like I would find it easier to do this as a disappearing 9-patch and then add the extra sashing to the side and bottom afterwards. I think it would be less cutting but I'm not sure
I'm glad you pointed out and gave info regarding the pinked edges.
Hope it helped Joyce! :)
I used this pattern from this tutorial to make my first quilt. I used clothes that were my mother in laws. For the sashing I used her jeans. It turned out so well. I would not have had the courage to do this without watching these videos. I also followed the machine binding tutorial to bind the quilt. Thank you so much for these wonderful tutorials. I am so grateful.
Gorgeous! Another fantastic tutorial! I also really appreciate the info about the pinked edges and how each pre-cut can be slightly different.
If I'm not mistaken, I think you can chain piece the 5 in. squares to the 21/2 in. strips then cut them apart the same way as the falling charms quilt. I finished the falling charms quilt yesterday and I love it!
I love to watch your videos Jenny and I love this quilt as blue is my favorite color! I have learned so much from watching your videos, so thank you, Jenny!
I learn something I didn't know from all your videos I watch. Thank You so much!
Love this pattern and the fabric it is made with!! Right now I'm working on last week's tutorial on the 'Whimsical Shoofly' quilt - those blocks go together amazingly fast. Thank you for all your tutorials, Jenny! Love each one :)!
Hermoso como todo lo que haces, gracias por compartir. Saludos desde Perú.
So cute. And since i LOVE blue it is right up my alley. Bonus i just got a brand new Baby Lock Amanda machine and it sews so beautifully. Worth every penny. I am happy to sew again after struggling for several years with a cheap machine.
How exciting! I'm glad you are liking it! :)

Love this pattern!
lovely,super easy,thanks
LOVE the quilting!!! Great quilt, too!
Great tutorial and great quilt! Thanks a lot! 😎🌸
Awesome .... classic beautiful easy quilt .... I love it
Love Jenny, wish she lived next door to me. She and the hubs deserve so much credit for creating a wonderful family. Bless them all, and keep those tutorial videos coming. Better than any soap opera that I watched in my younger days!

I could watch Jenny all day long. The camera just loves her. Such a great teacher. She was the first quilter who made me believe I could do this. It was the one where she races to sew the jelly roll together that got me.
I can see this also done as a mini quilt as well. Use black as your sashing, and you will have an Amish looking quilt.
What a darling idea Linda! So creative!
I love how she oopsed and hid it with her thumb.
I love this! But I'd need to make it bigger. I'm math - challenged, so I have no idea how to get this to, say, a 88" x 90. When you post the instructions, maybe you all could do the math and product numbers for me...or us. I'm not the only one who hates quilt math. Love this and so many other projects.

Great idea. I too am math challenged without my calculator
You could get a similar effect with a disappearing 9-patch, I think. If the middle square & corner squares are all patterned ones & the others are white (or whatever you want as the sashing colour). You'd probably still have to do a "small square & sashing" inner border, if you see what I mean. I wonder which would be "easier" or faster. I suppose it would depend on what the individual crafter prefers working with, larger or smaller pieces.
And now I read the comments, I see several others with the same idea! *grin* Great minds and all that!
It's definitely worth a try! :)
Hi Jenny: I love this quilt but how would I adapt it to create a lap size quilt instead ?
Could i not make my blocks individually with the borders all around it and then attach to one another row by row?
if you did that you would have too many sides butting up together........you could do 2 sides.
@@janetmcadamsbailey9038 ya looking at this video again I would just do it as Jenny demonstrates. What was I thinking??? LOL
And this type of scale
HOW much yardage is in one roll of white 2.5" strips?? Enough for all the white in this quilt??
I wonder how this would work if you used four-patch squares instead of the larger 5 inch . . .
A number of vendors measure the size of a pinked edge square from the tips of the pinked edges so you can see why the
sashing was off in this vidoe.
Thanks Dan! The most important is just to make sure you're doing it the same everywhere! Great tip!
Tried to provide you with a good idea but couldn't get past your receptionist.
can we buy those ruler sets and cutting mat by online? because im from sri lanka.
You sure can Hashini! You can find and buy all the supplies we used for this quilt by clicking on the links below! :)

thanks a lot jenny...😄😘😊💐
Jenny, may I ask why you didn't chain piece?
jan pos I did when I made the whole thing. I just forgot to mention it....oops
I just did the math using the PDF file for this quilt. I see the 69" for the width. But I cannot figure out how you are getting 82" for the length! Going down: I count 9 of the 5" squares, 12 of the 2 1/2" strips, and am guessing you used a 6" border. Taking all the seam allowances into account, I get (9 x 4.5) + (12 x 2) + (2 x 5.75) = 76 inches. What am I missing?
I figured it out. The PDF file only shows 9 rows with squares going down, but in the video Jenny counts out 10 rows.
What size is this... with 3 packets of charms?
69x82
This quilt is 69" by 82" Carla T. Very close to a twin or double size quilt!
I'm a beginner quilter teaching myself so I really enjoy your videos they are super helpful and easy to follow.
I made a quilt like this using the nine patch block, cut into quarters. After assembling, I just had to add sashing with small squares to two of the sides edge of the quilt.
This is just what I was looking for! Thanks so much. Your creations are always so beautiful.
It's been a few months....since I have been on MSQC ....I have been really ill, so this is a great "Easy " project to think about starting.
Thanks Jenny, Missed you and everyone at MSQC ! :)
I'm so sorry to hear that, J. Dorer-Russell. We hope you are feeling better! Glad to have watching again!
Glad you are feeling better, take care of yourself and welcome back.
Jenny you're awesome as always keep up the good work love your tutorials
I see something pretty I can make with my odds and ends charm packs and super simple too! Yay!
This DOES look super simple! I'm eager to give this a try as my first quilt project. It might be great for using up scraps as well! Thanks for a great tutorial. I'll definitely give it a shot.
I'm like Jenny, I love love blue and white.
The blue and white always looks fresh . Thank you . 😘👍🇨🇦🌈
Se ve poco con las letras por medio
OK. I'm going to try this. Nervous about messing up. Making my very first quilt.
i Made this quilt for my Daughter-in-law this summer, it turned out beautiful, and your tutorial made it easy. Thanks for all your tutorials!
I made this awhile ago. It was one of the first quilts I made and did FMQ on it. I saw on Sew very Easy how to use a C arc and echo, and just keep going. I used the beautiful earthly paradise of William Morris prints. Just gorgeous, and it's nice because I didn't have to cut up the charms squares and diminish the prints. Thanks-You Jenny...

What is the overall size of this quilt made as per ur video? I can't believe I would need 5 yds of backing if the backing material is 90" wide. But not sure of the overall size...anybody know???
whoops, that white strip was shorter than the 5" square. Jenny put her thumb over the problem. Happens to me a lot Jenny :)
I was just thinking I spy quit
you can also just put the blocks on the whole strip and then just trim.. less lining up the top edges.
Nothing beats blue and white for beautiful. I am now making a variant of this pattern in blue grays. I am backing in gray with green batik oak leaves tumbling in the wind. I love quilting!
Oh that sounds beautiful! We would love to see a picture of your creation!
I'm thinking out loud, could you assembly line; sew using long strips of the white 2 1/2 strips and attached them with 5 inch squares and the same with 2 1/2 block. Hmm.
It might work this way Linda R! It just worked better for us piecing it the way we did in the tutorial.
Missouri Star Quilt Company awesome tutorial 👍🏻
Linda R. You absolutely could! Do what works best for you!
Linda R.
I agree. I absolutely love the precuts when they save time cutting but sometimes on a less intricate block I find larger pieces easier to sew. Then cut into the smaller blocks all at once.

How do you finish the square quilt? I’m an absolute beginner. Is there another tutorial?
I recently finished making this exact purple and lavender quilt except I attached a wider border. Loads of fun to make. Thank you for your tutorials
Mam u r super
Beautiful, as always!
WOW ! What a beautiful quilt ! »Thank you for this demonstration !
Genial este tutoríal😊gracias por compartirlo,un saludo desde España😜
I did not know about the pinked edges. Love them still. Thank you Dear Jenny! ❤️
I ordered this ruler and wonder how I ever lived without it!! So easy to handle and, since I love using charm packs, it is just perfect. Bought one for a quilting friend, too.
So glad you are enjoying it, Lynn. It really does make cutting those charm packs so much easier. :)
Love, Love, Love this quilt! It will be the very first quilt I make very soon now. Absolutely beautiful and easy!
So beautiful and so simple! I just love it! Thanks a lot! 🌸🌸
Instead of cutting the 5inch square, can I use a mini charm pack?
You have done if again! Thank you for helping us with an amazingly/
to make this easier yet use the disappearing 9 patch "pattern"
I was going to say the same thing! Cut this like a disappearing 9 patch and it’s so much easier than this. Jenny has a tutorial of a disappearing 9 patch.
Are the 5 inch squares 5 1/2 inches or really just 5 inches?
9
How many rows of 5 in squares and how many of the sashiing rows?
How many squares are in a charm pack? Also how many different colors/designs are in a charm pack?
40-42 Mona. 😁 there are usually duplicates (2) unless the description says otherwise. It will usually have all the patterns from one colorway for the design name. You should be able to see each pattern on one of the views that shows them all together. I usually take a photo of the entire set so I can match colors for the backing and/or one of the borders.

How big is this quilt? I don’ t see any size.
Super cute and easy - again!
i'm thinking maybe the disappearing nine patch would make the saching part even easier
That could be fun!
How accurate do the side panels need to be sewn to the main square ?
Mine end up one higher one lower.
Help what am l doing wrong frustrated .
Thank you
I am putting this one in my "production line" so I can do it after i finish my 4 patch star quilt!! Excited already!!
We'd love to see pictures of your quilts sometime Mary! Happy quilting! :)

Mary Moench MTV
It's as simple as quilting squares
Thank you Jenny!!! Just what I needed! I've been looking for a design I wanted to do and you nailed it!! Love everything you do!! Can't wait to visit Missouri Star Quilt company one day.

Marilda Almeida da Silva mmnn
Also, thank you for clarifying the measurement with pinked edge. I am learning to quilt and have been including the pinking in my quarter inch seams. Now I can do it correctly!
Hy Jenny we are enable to get these charm pack
I feel like I would find it easier to do this as a disappearing 9-patch and then add the extra sashing to the side and bottom afterwards. I think it would be less cutting but I'm not sure
If I buy yardage,, how much do I need?
Looks super ez and fun!! Love it!
Any way to calculate the supplies needed to make this a queen size? (90x108)
Muito lindo amei. Parabéns.
Just ordered cosmic fusion from Northcott to make this. How much yardage is needed for the binding?
You will need a yard if your quilt comes to 69"x82" and you use 2.5" strips for your binding.
Thank you
Does the yardage for the outer border include the binding as well? Or do I need to order more yardage for binding? Thanks!
