I watch a lot of sewing tutorials; a lot. None; not a single channel could hold a candle to your channel. For 10 years it’s been you Jenny! Thank you. Stay dedicated. 😊
There is NO other person, that I know of, that CARES enough to take a very difficult quilt, & brilliantly make it into an easy project. I thank YOU Jenny for your time, your giving us the much looked for Friday's project - and God Bless YOU for making it FREE so that ALL can see it & quilt - very generous of you! Thank you.
I agree,I have been watching Jenny for a long time. Any time I am ask about tutorials on quilting I always suggest Missouri Star, my go to! Thanks Jenny!
Wow I was amazed how easy you made this looked..I have stayed away from cathedral windows because it looked so complicated. I am glad I clicked on the video. Thanks, Jenny..
every quilter has their own dream quilt they want to make, This has been one of mine for so many years, and fear to take on the challenge. THANK YOU JENNY!!.. your tutorial is helping me make mission impossible dream come true.. Just received my MSQC fabric I picked just for this challenge. I look so forward to wrapping up in it come Dec/Jan. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!... YOUR THE BEST!!!...
Oh LAAWS Jenny! I literally gasped when you held up that 2.5 square quilt! Because I'm a fan of the Daily Deal, I have some fabulous RJR Pretty Pastel and Optical White in my stash. I'm making this TODAY! I'll post it on Quilts By Me later! Oh I'm SO excited to do this. Thank you Jenny, and all your Designers that figure out all the hard stuff for us. This is just so cool!
Jenny after several years of putting off quilting....because I didn't need another addition....a friend told me about your shop and the wonderful tutorials. I am hooked and look forward to your tutorials every time a new one comes out! And love the man sewing Rob!!!! And the lady from Gemini.....would love to make my way up to one of your retreats.....with my quilting buddies.....maybe one day!!!!!! Thank you for a wonderful new hobby!!!!! God Bless!
Jenny Doan, you have become newest and most amazing hero!!!!! I've been wanting to make a CW for several years, but never been successful with the hand stitched version! I'm the person who told you (in Columbia, SC) to use Jello on toast and you have just paid me back in the "Great Ideas" category!!!!!
Every time I used to call my mom I would ask her if she was on youtube again, All she has to do is say "I am watching Jenny." and I knew. Now that I got back into sewing and want to make pretty things I can use instead of just piecing a for not ok I don't really care I will fix it later. After the first easy thing she taught me to make I made one for all 3 of my kids as a unique to their personality gift, now I am on youtube non stop watching your channel. Every time she tried to explain to me how to do it from watching you I would look at her like she was speaking greek she tells me "Go watch Jenny she will tell you how to even do the hard things easy. She was right. So now I am really lookig forward to making nice things for our house and this one I can't wait to try. :)
I did this with satin windows and Christmas fabric. It turned out really pretty. I plan on making Christmas table runners like this as gifts. Wish me luck. Lol
Jenny, I have actually hand made the old fashion way, a cathedral window quilt. It took several years and advice from friends and family before I actually understood the concept. Today. I used your technique and whow...... am I impressed, it was fun instead of frustrating. I hope you find your little baggie....... You have to look for it to find it you know. You are my hero.
this cathedral window quilt is just beautiful and looks difficult. Jenny takes all the complications out using this tutorial. who would think it is this easy?!!! Thanks Jenny!
The real beauty to this concept of doing cathedral windows is the ability to incorporate them into the design of a quilt without the whole quilt being cathedral windows. I am working on a table runner for Christmas with 6 cathedral windows down the center and its coming out beautifully. My first attempt at cathedral windows.
Many yrs.ago I completed a large Cathedral Window quilt, but it took me l4 yrs. I love this method and will definitely be trying this. I am trying to use up my material, so will nave to do my own cutting. Thank you for the tutorial!!! I appreciate it very much. You are a blessing!
I love your easy way of making the Cathedral Window, Jenny. I started watching the video about a half hour ago and had to run into my sewing room and grab some charm packs and watch the video while I pinned. Now I have several pinned. ( I know I like to pin and just can't break the habit after 30 plus years of quilting) Now to the sewing room I go to start sewing. Thanks for the great video! ! ! I also love the little version but will stick to the charm packs.
I absolutely love this technique. I've done Cathedral Windows the "old" way and can't wait to give this a try. I think I'll make a few bed scarfs, using this technique, to give as Christmas presents. Thank you for ALL your videos!!!
I spent 14 years constructing my first Cathedral Window quilt. It was beautiful; but this is very practical and pretty, also. I appreciate the instructions!
Simple and easy ... that's the way you always make it ... and beautiful, too. Got to try this one, but, I think I am going to fussy cut the 'inside of the cathedral windows' and use solids on the backing. Beautiful work ... you must love doing this ... only then, can you come up with something so pretty time after time. God bless you and yours for your time, talent and freely sharing with all of us.
Jenny your are wonderful! You've taken another traditional block and made it easier to do. I started a cathedral window awhile back and only did a pillow😜. Keep up the good work. Congratulations on the continued success your family brand has received. God's blessings are all around you 😇
Jenny - you saved me! I started in on a very complicated cathedral window pattern but it wasn't turning out. I changed my plan and used your pattern. what an amazing time saver! I used white on white for the background and the windows are really bright colors. Beautiful. Thank you so much!
Wow, I love this. Cathedral windows is a lovely pattern. What I like about this, is that it is relatively quick and because you are putting batting between the layers, it is also warm. Way to go Jenny!
Jenny---Yay,yay,yay!!! I am so excited to see this tutorial. My husbands great aunt had a queen size cathedral that she did (totally by hand of course, she did all of them that way). She used 1 inch squares for the center of the blocks. It is one of the quilts that inspired me to want to quilt. One of the times that I was in the store, probably two years ago I asked one of the clerks if someone could show me how to do the cathedral window. You had the 2.5 inch one on the wall. I love it done in the fun pattern fabric. She took me and my friend back to where you were and you showed us how to do it. It was quick but you explained it so that I totally understood. I have messed with it some, but haven't made a whole quilt yet. It is one of my favorites and I am so very excited to see the tutorial. Thanks so much for taking time that day, I know that you were busy and thanks so much for doing the tutorial.
Gail Vadnais I'm so glad that memory has stuck with you and made an impact! Jenny just loves meeting new MSQC Family members like yourself and taking the time to help everyone! Thanks for sharing! :)
I love the 2 1/2"! I'm thinking a jelly roll of prints and a jelly roll of solids cut into 2 1/2" squares could make this into a nice sized quilt! Also, I don't use safety pins anymore. A double basting stitch (about 1/2" wide) holds everything together for me and I don't worry about hitting a pin with my sewing machine needle. Thanks for another GREAT tutorial!
Love it! Just made one little 2.5 inch block, went together so fast and easy! Yes! Am going to try a 10" block next, one with a busy print. Thanks, Missouri Star! I love the thickness, we've cold, cold winters so here all the layers are much appreciated....
I took a class on this block and I did make a pillow but this is much better and a whole lot quicker! Of course Jenny would make it simple! Thank you so much for this!! Thanks 🙏🏻
Years age my mom tried CW but didn't get far. I am excited to show her this technique so she can make one for herself. I am going to make a quilt for a new house. Thank u for this.
Oh WOW!!! I love the cathedral window but have always been terrified to try it. You have made it doable Jenny. I love the one with 2-1/2" squares. I think I will try it with bright colors and black instead of white. A stained glass cathedral window? That would make a great gift for my brother who makes and teaches stained glass. AWESOME!!
This is the fourth cathedral window quilt I have watched this morning. It is by far the easiest in cutting and the least sewing time. Thank you, Jenny!!!
Hi Jenny, your tutorial is excellent and I thank you for it. I just adore these beautiful Cathedral Windows and couldn't care less about the amount of fabric one needs to use. It's all about the richness and diversity of colour for me. Thanks again, I love your work.
Jenny, I forgot to take a picture before I gave this away..so I'm making another one...will send you pics when I get it finished to get your take on it. Thank you so much for your tutorials. God bless you and yours.
Hi Jenny, you are amazingly clever to make such complicated blocks so easy, fun and enjoyable. I am really grateful that I found your web site coincidently. I made lots of projects using your blocks. Many thanks from Turkey. Sema
I love it--I have often admired the cathedral window quilt--but it looked too time consuming. I am looking forward to trying this-- especially the small one. Thank-you- Jenny!
I just finished all the blocks for a queen size bed Cathedral Windows.I'm so happy,thank you Jenny for making tutorial easy to follow that's my 3 rd quilt from watching you I did tumbling blocks for my super king bed .I also tried a quilt with striped material ( can't remember the name ) As long as I have you to follow I feel more confident thank you keep it up so we can all learn more. Jeannette
Jenny is a very accomplished sewer and she really knows her machine and its capabilities. I am not sure this quilt sandwich thickness would stitch nicely on my machine without lowering the feed dogs and attaching my walking foot. I think I would use a special needle also for going through all these thicknesses. She doesn't make it clear whether or not she is using free motion quilting to finish the quilt with the quilt-as-you-go method. I also think I would use thread designed for free motion quilting andbegin quilting from the center of the piece and I would use spray on basting glue to hold my quilt sandwich together with the pins. I will try this without doing all of that but I don't think my old machine will stitch the thickness of a quilt with out breaking thread and needle. Good Luck this sure is a brillant way of making cathedral windows!!!!.
The cathedral window has always been on my bucket list- doing it by machine was sooooo much easier! Thank you Jenny for another fine tutorial - I can now mark this one as "FINISHED!"
I think I have found my new project. Thank you for you inspiration and charming nature. I might add my love of embroidery to the middle diamonds for a little personal touch. Now to apply for some annual leave from work to complete my project. Xxx from Australia.
Thank you! This uses much less fabric than the way I learned to do this; I look forward to trying it! LOVE the 2.5" square version...I have many small scrape to use up; this will be a unique way to use them.
I did a cot quilt the traditional way and it took nearly the whole 9 months to do haha. Wish i had known this method then. Less time no sore fingers and not so much fabric used. Love the quilt i made but it did put me off making another one. Will try this method . Thank you for sharing
Hi Jenny, Thank you for this tutorial...I'm making this as a baby quilt for my son and daughter-in-law who are adopting this month. Great idea! Love your shows!!
I've seen this tutorial many times & am amazed as the first time.I am working on a baby quilt using the cathedral pattern. Enjoy Doan's instr.She is precise & meat.Thank you!
Cathedral Windows is how I started doing patchwork, when I was about 10, as it was the only block my Mum knew how to do! It took AGES! 35 years later, I've made several quilts & am a fabriholic... I love your tutorials & am now going to quilt my version of your Disappearing Hourglass, which was so quick that my poor husband is still in shock (when we first met, he had to make templates for me: triangles in slightly different sizes so that seams would fit etc !). Our daughter Isabel, 15, is on her second quilt; son Hugh, 7, has just made his first cushion cover. We have just got proper internet for the first time (rural Ireland) and I have discovered your excellent tutorials. As a result, when I'm not watching & learning, I'm making! Thank you so much!
Missouri Star Quilt Company gracias, los trabajo son maravillosos aunque no entiendo el idioma pero tú lo haces tan fácil que lo puedo entender viendo como trabajas Gracias X desde Iquique Chile
Very pretty I made one years ago and it ended up as a pillow because it was so much work will have to try one of these, looks real easy thank you for all the ideas
All these years have passed and this video is here for me to learn a new skill. Self quarantine has been good for me. I have time to watch all these wonderful tutorials that you have made for me and others. I am also watching you live. Terrific!
Jenny, this is wonderful. I made my first one and it is beautiful - and easy. I don't mind the fabric involved, I don't consider the block a waste of fabric. Love it. Thanks, Jenny.
I made a cathedral window wall hanging quilt the traditional way many years ago. I remember it being very complicated. Great way to simplify the pattern👍🇦🇺
I've admired the cathedral pattern for a long time, & always thought...just too difficult and time consuming. Jenny, you are a genius! I can do this version! So excited to make!!
I like this method I used to make circles and get almost the same design a little different but it looks like really easy to do can’t wait to try this one
I've always been intimidated by cathedral windows. I tried this & it really was easy. The finished project is so stunning that everyone I know who sews says it looked very hard. This is an impressive project but the secret is it's easy!
Hi Ms.Jenny.I saw a handmade cathedral quilt at the Builtmore Castle.Tag says made in China ( I imagine little children) handsewing the said quilt.Anyways,I told myself will make it one day,but daunting,til I saw your tutorial.Thank you! Like the cute 2 & half inches too.Look so adorable,& one of a kind for sure.
Thanks for that tutorial Jenny. Have never considered doing a Cathedral Window! (Put it in the too hard basket!). But now going to give it a try😊 Will start with the large squares then graduate to the 2 1/2" ones!! Thanks muchly😊💙
So cool! Another great inspiration. Right after watching I decided to make this project with jeans scraps and before the end of Saturday I had my own Cathedral Window Jeans rug! Even though my poor Singer almost died while sewing a third of an inch piles of jeans, but all ended up with a success and huge satisfaction! Thanks Jenny! PS: Too bad I cannot post a picture here to brag ;)))
I have always loved this look but when I found out how complicated it was to do, I decided NO WAY would I make one of these. HOWEVER...THIS tutorial is amazing, and I'm already plotting fabric. ANDD, fangirl moment, I got to see a live version of this yesterday here in Sacramento!! Mad crazy love for MSQC.
Thank you, I want to make another Cathedral Window quilt. Yes I made one the old fashion way, my mom now has the quilt, she really wanted it. But I love what you did on this one. I am excited about this method. Thank you so much
Amen! I'm so happy I found your channel 💛! Best Wishes Always! I'm getting started on the window table runner for gifts! Yours Respectfully, Bonnie Ohio
The easy cathedral windows tutorial is my absolute favorite from Missouri star quilt company! It has yielded me some of my favorite quilting creations this far.
I love the small quilt. This will be easy for Christmas gifts. Thank you for your video's. I would never have started to quilt if it were not for them.
+Platt Mallar That's because this is the directions for a "faux" Cathedral window. It looks really nice but doesn't compare to the traditional Cathedral window block.
Thank you Jenny. This is one of my favorite blocks, but I have only made one pillow, using the old way. That was a couple of years ago, now there will be no stopping me! I find it truly amazing how every week you have a new amazing idea, because they are all amazing! Thank you for all you do for the quilter world, we are so fortunate to have you and your team.
A little late in finding this tutorial as I made a large quilt using Christmas fabric, but another method of making the windows (called five minute block )which makes squares very similar. I made pillows as well. Now a friend wants a quilt in this pattern so I can try it your way Jenny! I’ve done the stitching using decorative stitches that are representative of the fabric, and would look very nice in the quilt as you go project. Thanks!
Omg this is so fantastic,I have been collecting fabric for quilting forever with great projects that I see on sewing shows etc. because everyone makes everything look so easy ,when I get ready to do something I chicken out ,but watching your tutorial I am feeling secure,I am going to take the leap! Not going to lye I am a bit nervous but with your help I am sure I can do it!!💓TY from 🇨🇦😳
Jenny, this is awesome! I recently purchased a Robert Kaufman Victoria Gardens layer cake plus three charm packs from you (plus yardage), which is enough to make at least a couple of quilts, depending on the pattern and how much background fabric I use. This pattern would be gorgeous for one of them. I love that you made it so easy - thank you so much for this video!
Just watch several videos and all are great, but this one is great. I too have a baggie of old Cathedral Window blocks I never finish. This is wonderful thank you for all your work
This is wonderful! I've wanted to make a cathedral window quilt for a while now but all the methods I've found so far are much more complicated and use way more fabric than you do. Pure genius! Thank you so much!!!!!
Just love this. I made a cathedral window the old fashion way about 4 years ago it's a Queen size took about 9 months. I will never do it again but this pattern I just might try.
You guys are just amazing to come with such beautiful easy quilt blocks1 Especially love the one with the smaller size squares! Thank you, again, so very much!
I watch a lot of sewing tutorials; a lot. None; not a single channel could hold a candle to your channel. For 10 years it’s been you Jenny! Thank you. Stay dedicated. 😊
There is NO other person, that I know of, that CARES enough to take a very difficult quilt, & brilliantly make it into an easy project. I thank YOU Jenny for your time, your giving us the much looked for Friday's project - and God Bless YOU for making it FREE so that ALL can see it & quilt - very generous of you! Thank you.
alene knox you're so sweet! Thanks so much for your love and support! It wouldn't all be possible without our wonderful fans like you! :)
I agree with Alene! I have never made the cathedral window because it is so fiddly and time consuming. I am now anxious to try your method! Thank you!
@@roycarraway4270 5
There’s a lovely UTube sewer called Jean Truelove who Also does a great version too ✂️✂️

( I know I like to pin and just can't break the habit after 30 plus years of quilting) Now to the sewing room I go to start sewing. Thanks for the great video! ! ! I also love the little version but will stick to the charm packs.
I absolutely love this technique. I've done Cathedral Windows the "old" way and can't wait to give this a try. I think I'll make a few bed scarfs, using this technique, to give as Christmas presents.
Thank you for ALL your videos!!!
***** What wonderful gifts they will make! Thanks so much for your kind words! :)
I spent 14 years constructing my first Cathedral Window quilt. It was beautiful; but this is very practical and pretty, also. I appreciate the instructions!
Thanks for your comment Carol! We appreciate that!
I’m amazed I lose learned so much from you over the years 8:47
Simple and easy ... that's the way you always make it ... and beautiful, too. Got to try this one, but, I think I am going to fussy cut the 'inside of the cathedral windows' and use solids on the backing.

Tina Johnson thank you so much! It wouldn't all be possible without our wonderful MSQC family! Thanks for being a part of it! :)
Sewing magic!! That 2 1/2 inch square one is gorgeous!
morvalia Thank you! We're glad you love it!!
Do so much appreciate making this block easy as I have made a quilt with the original way and it was a real headache. Love your earrings!!!
Best explanation I’ve heard for the reason the triangles shape easier! Thanks!
Jenny - you saved me! I started in on a very complicated cathedral window pattern but it wasn't turning out. I changed my plan and used your pattern. what an amazing time saver! I used white on white for the background and the windows are really bright colors. Beautiful. Thank you so much!
Glad we could save your quilt, GMTE Girl!
Wow, I love this. Cathedral windows is a lovely pattern. What I like about this, is that it is relatively quick and because you are putting batting between the layers, it is also warm. Way to go Jenny!
on the cathedral window table runner how is the binding done?
Jenny---Yay,yay,yay!!! I am so excited to see this tutorial. My husbands great aunt had a queen size cathedral that she did (totally by hand of course, she did all of them that way). She used 1 inch squares for the center of the blocks. It is one of the quilts that inspired me to want to quilt.

I love the 2 1/2"! I'm thinking a jelly roll of prints and a jelly roll of solids cut into 2 1/2" squares could make this into a nice sized quilt!
Also, I don't use safety pins anymore. A double basting stitch (about 1/2" wide) holds everything together for me and I don't worry about hitting a pin with my sewing machine needle.
Thanks for another GREAT tutorial!
Mary Richards-Kallman That would be a beautiful quilt! Thanks for the great tip! :)
Love it! Just made one little 2.5 inch block, went together so fast and easy! Yes!
Am going to try a 10" block next, one with a busy print. Thanks, Missouri Star!
I love the thickness, we've cold, cold winters so here all the layers are much appreciated....
Anna Van Tholen We'd love to see the oversized version too! If you try it out, share it with us, please!! :)
I've wanted to try making a Cathedral Window project for a long time, I think I can do it now. Thank you for the simplistic directions.
Missy Demure Yay! That's so exciting! Best of luck! :)
I took a class on this block and I did make a pillow but this is much better and a whole lot quicker! Of course Jenny would make it simple! Thank you so much for this!! Thanks 🙏🏻
Wow! Once again you took a quilt that looked impossible for me to try and made it look easy. Thank you for your free, clear tutorials!
Jenny knows her stuff, and how to explain it too! Thanks for watching!
Years age my mom tried CW but didn't get far. I am excited to show her this technique so she can make one for herself. I am going to make a quilt for a new house. Thank u for this.
We hope your mother enjoys making this quilt Veronica!
Thank you Jenny, I have been wondering what to do with all the candies packs i have. Now I know.
Oh WOW!!! I love the cathedral window but have always been terrified to try it. You have made it doable Jenny. I love the one with 2-1/2" squares. I think I will try it with bright colors and black instead of white. A stained glass cathedral window? That would make a great gift for my brother who makes and teaches stained glass. AWESOME!!
Wow, Wow, and more Wows!! You have taken the fear out of trying this one. The 2.5" squares quilt is "delicious"!! Thank you, Jenny!!
This is the fourth cathedral window quilt I have watched this morning. It is by far the easiest in cutting and the least sewing time. Thank you, Jenny!!!

I think I have found my new project.
Thank you for you inspiration and charming nature.
I might add my love of embroidery to the middle diamonds for a little personal touch. Now to apply for some annual leave from work to complete my project.

Thank you! This uses much less fabric than the way I learned to do this; I look forward to trying it! LOVE the 2.5" square version...I have many small scrape to use up; this will be a unique way to use them.
I did a cot quilt the traditional way and it took nearly the whole 9 months to do haha. Wish i had known this method then. Less time no sore fingers and not so much fabric used. Love the quilt i made but it did put me off making another one. Will try this method . Thank you for sharing
We hope you enjoy making this one Laraine!
Hi Jenny, Thank you for this tutorial...I'm making this as a baby quilt for my son and daughter-in-law who are adopting this month. Great idea! Love your shows!!
How fun ella! This will be a wonderful gift for them!
I've seen this tutorial many times & am amazed as the first time.I am working on a baby quilt using the cathedral pattern. Enjoy Doan's instr.She is precise & meat.Thank you!
Thank you so much Jenny .You explained well enough to understand the beginners.
Cathedral Windows is how I started doing patchwork, when I was about 10, as it was the only block my Mum knew how to do! It took AGES! 35 years later, I've made several quilts & am a fabriholic... I love your tutorials & am now going to quilt my version of your Disappearing Hourglass, which was so quick that my poor husband is still in shock (when we first met, he had to make templates for me: triangles in slightly different sizes so that seams would fit etc !). Our daughter Isabel, 15, is on her second quilt; son Hugh, 7, has just made his first cushion cover. We have just got proper internet for the first time (rural Ireland) and I have discovered your excellent tutorials. As a result, when I'm not watching & learning, I'm making! Thank you so much!
Allison Bingham That is a truly amazing story! It's wonderful that the whole family has learned about quilting as well! :)
Love the 21/2 squares. Thanks Jenny I have learned so much from your videos.
Marsha S Thanks for watching! :)
Missouri Star Quilt Company gracias, los trabajo son maravillosos aunque no entiendo el idioma pero tú lo haces tan fácil que lo puedo entender viendo como trabajas Gracias X
desde Iquique Chile
Very pretty I made one years ago and it ended up as a pillow because it was so much work will have to try one of these, looks real easy thank you for all the ideas
All these years have passed and this video is here for me to learn a new skill. Self quarantine has been good for me. I have time to watch all these wonderful tutorials that you have made for me and others. I am also watching you live. Terrific!
Thank you so much for showing the easiest way to do cathedral patchwork. I have viewed so many videos and your the best
Jenny, this is wonderful. I made my first one and it is beautiful - and easy. I don't mind the fabric involved, I don't consider the block a waste of fabric. Love it. Thanks, Jenny.
Can not wait to start this tomorrow morning 💕💕💕👍🏻
So much easier than the one I started 20 years ago.. And never finished lol! I am going to try it this way! Thank you for the tutorial, Jenny!
Kris B Will you finish the one you started or start fresh with this version? :) Either way, we're so glad you enjoyed the tutorial! :)
U indeed made it so easy for me! I have never dared to attempt it though it is the BOM in our quilting group. But shall attempt it now.
I made a cathedral window wall hanging quilt the traditional way many years ago. I remember it being very complicated. Great way to simplify the pattern👍🇦🇺
I love the smaller one. It’s so bright and cheerful.
I've admired the cathedral pattern for a long time, & always thought...just too difficult and time consuming. Jenny, you are a genius! I can do this version! So excited to make!!
I like this method I used to make circles and get almost the same design a little different but it looks like really easy to do can’t wait to try this one
I have admired this pattern for so long and wondered how to make it. You've taken the mystery out of it! I think you're really a magician!
Thinking of making a Christmas one with my leftover Christmas squares. This will be a great table runner for the holidays.
Deana Campbell so cute!
I've always been intimidated by cathedral windows. I tried this & it really was easy. The finished project is so stunning that everyone I know who sews says it looked very hard. This is an impressive project but the secret is it's easy!
This pattern has always been a facination of mine. Thank you for simplifying it without the raw edges of a circle quilt! thank you, thank you!!
Hi Ms.Jenny.I saw a handmade cathedral quilt at the Builtmore Castle.Tag says made in China ( I imagine little children) handsewing the said quilt.Anyways,I told myself will make it one day,but daunting,til I saw your tutorial.Thank you! Like the cute 2 & half inches too.Look so adorable,& one of a kind for sure.
Thanks for that tutorial Jenny. Have never considered doing a Cathedral Window! (Put it in the too hard basket!). But now going to give it a try😊 Will start with the large squares then graduate to the 2 1/2" ones!! Thanks muchly😊💙
M Middleton That's great news!! We hope you love it!! :)
So cool! Another great inspiration. Right after watching I decided to make this project with jeans scraps and before the end of Saturday I had my own Cathedral Window Jeans rug! Even though my poor Singer almost died while sewing a third of an inch piles of jeans, but all ended up with a success and huge satisfaction! Thanks Jenny! PS: Too bad I cannot post a picture here to brag ;)))
lepus77 That sounds so cute! Way to go! :)
Jenny I just love the fun way you show us! You are a real blwssing, thanks!!!
I have made Cathedral Window quilts by hand. This is amazing how it works.
Thank you Jenny, I have always wanted to make a cathedral window quilt. You have changed my mind and now I will be making one. Thanks, Denise in Fl
I have always loved this look but when I found out how complicated it was to do, I decided NO WAY would I make one of these. HOWEVER...THIS tutorial is amazing, and I'm already plotting fabric. ANDD, fangirl moment, I got to see a live version of this yesterday here in Sacramento!! Mad crazy love for MSQC.
Cheryl Land I'm so glad it has inspired you to try it! And yay, how exciting that you saw it in Sacramento!! Thanks for your kind words! :)
Mrs. Jenny I Love the way you explain every little detail. Thank you again for sharing your beautiful talents with each and everyone one of us.
Thank you, I want to make another Cathedral Window quilt. Yes I made one the old fashion way, my mom now has the quilt, she really wanted it. But I love what you did on this one. I am excited about this method. Thank you so much
Wow,love the small 21/2 inches,thank you for the tutorial.
Amen! I'm so happy I found your channel 💛!
Best Wishes Always!
I'm getting started on the window table runner for gifts!
Yours Respectfully,
Bonnie Ohio
The easy cathedral windows tutorial is my absolute favorite from Missouri star quilt company! It has yielded me some of my favorite quilting creations this far.
I love the small quilt. This will be easy for Christmas gifts. Thank you for your video's. I would never have started to quilt if it were not for them.
Brenda Davis I'm so happy the tutorials have made you start quilting! That's so wonderful! :)
I really enjoyed this tutorial, I was so confused by other Cathedral Window directions!
+Platt Mallar That's because this is the directions for a "faux" Cathedral window. It looks really nice but doesn't compare to the traditional Cathedral window block.
Hi Jenny! I like how you made the cathedral window tutorial easy.I admit the old pattern is intimidating.Thank you.Love all your tutorials.God bless!
Yes! My mother started one and has a huge baggie too!
Molly Smith That's so great!! Do you get to help put them together?? :)
Thank you Jenny. This is one of my favorite blocks, but I have only made one pillow, using the old way. That was a couple of years ago, now there will be no stopping me! I find it truly amazing how every week you have a new amazing idea, because they are all amazing! Thank you for all you do for the quilter world, we are so fortunate to have you and your team.
Tanya H Thank you so much for your kind words! It wouldn't all be possible without our wonderful fans like you! :)
I love this Cathedral Window! I also have a baggie of the old Cathedral Window blocks.
How neat Susie!
After my sister brought her MSQ magazine and I saw this that was it! Thank you for inspiring us every day.
A little late in finding this tutorial as I made a large quilt using Christmas fabric, but another method of making the windows (called five minute block )which makes squares very similar. I made pillows as well. Now a friend wants a quilt in this pattern so I can try it your way Jenny! I’ve done the stitching using decorative stitches that are representative of the fabric, and would look very nice in the quilt as you go project. Thanks!
Omg this is so fantastic,I have been collecting fabric for quilting forever with great projects that I see on sewing shows etc. because everyone makes everything look so easy ,when I get ready to do something I chicken out ,but watching your tutorial I am feeling secure,I am going to take the leap! Not going to lye I am a bit nervous but with your help I am sure I can do it!!💓TY from 🇨🇦😳
Jenny, this is awesome! I recently purchased a Robert Kaufman Victoria Gardens layer cake plus three charm packs from you (plus yardage), which is enough to make at least a couple of quilts, depending on the pattern and how much background fabric I use. This pattern would be gorgeous for one of them. I love that you made it so easy - thank you so much for this video!
Just watch several videos and all are great, but this one is great. I too have a baggie of old Cathedral Window blocks I never finish. This is wonderful thank you for all your work
This is wonderful! I've wanted to make a cathedral window quilt for a while now but all the methods I've found so far are much more complicated and use way more fabric than you do. Pure genius! Thank you so much!!!!!
This is so much easier than all the tutorials I have watched. I even understand what you did😊
Watching that video was truly amazing!! Thank you Jenny for doing these videos for all these years.
Perfect timing. I knew there had to be a better way to do this. I have been experimenting with other options and you have shown the best way. Thanks!
Thanks Jenny! I did it and it works great! Very pleased.
Miss Jenny, you are fantastic. This sure beats the old way.Thank you very much polly
You are the best. Love everything you tutorial. I learn so much and made alot of quilts from you showing us. Thanks so very much.
Just love this. I made a cathedral window the old fashion way about 4 years ago it's a Queen size took about 9 months. I will never do it again but this pattern I just might try.
You guys are just amazing to come with such beautiful easy quilt blocks1 Especially love the one with the smaller size squares! Thank you, again, so very much!
Peggy Bowe Thank you for your kind words! :)
