- When James K. Polk ran for president in 1844, he promoted a new northern border for the Oregon Territory at the 54°40′ north line of latitude. Polk’s supporters immortalized his campaign slogan, “54-40 or Fight,” with a quilt block so gorgeous, we’ve been stitching it up ever since!

I cannot understand anyone hitting the thumbs down on any of Jenny’s tutorials. I like to hope they were accidental. 🥰
You amaze me Jenny I love all the quilts you show us how to make. Thank you for your wonderful tutorials
All tutorials are great and the 54 40 or Fight is no exception. Thanks
Have not been quilting very long, so I am learning from your videos. Thank you for your time.
I was just looking at making this one, but was going to buy the rulers to do so.. so glad I hadn't yet..yeah Jennie tyty
I use older Missouri Star videos for reference! They never get old!
Congratulations on 10 years!
Jenny, you are the reason I continue to quilt. You are so easy to follow for a beginner. You give us the courage to at least try to quilt! I have my mom watching your videos as well and she absolutely loves you! Thank you!
Can’t wait to make these blocks Jenny style
Jenny I have watched your TH-cam videos for ever and I have made so many of them that I have lost count of how many I have made. I do know that all of the charities I have donated them to are happy to receive them. I just wish I had more time to make every single one of the beautiful quilts you have taught us to make.
I could do this!! I totally could do this!! My mind is blown by the four patch method! I may actually do this!
You CAN do this, Brigid! We look forward to seeing your 54-40 or Fight Freestyle quilt! Have fun sewing!
Just finished piecing my 2nd 54-40 or Fight Freestyle!! this one took 3 days, he is 88x106 apx. hitting the longarm tomorrow. Hopefully done by this weekend so I take it up at Thanksgiving. I love watching the videos. I learn something new........ never too old to learn! I'v been quilting since the mid 70's and professionally for a while in the 90's + now just play!!!
The thing that makes these tutorials so valuable to me is that you take complex-looking designs and make them so easy to put together. I am so grateful to you for that!
congratulations. All your tutorials are good. Really like the Disappearing Hourglass.
This looks so complicated but Jenny breaks it down to simple steps that even a beginner like me could follow. I am currently working on the orange peel quilt for my daughter.....but may have to start a few blocks of this one.☺
I love that quilt and tutorial. thanks Jenny
I am from Saudi Arabia.and learned a lot from your tutorials.thank you so much.
Thank you for tuning in!
Love this one !!!!
LOVE THIS QUILT! The colors and pattern are beautiful. You make everything easy and approachable. The quilting world is so much more accessible thanks to you Jenny.
Thanks for your kind comment Jann Merrill! So glad you enjoyed watching this tutorial! :)
Thank You Jenny, for Another GREAT EZ, to do quilt. YOU HAVE MADE QUILTING FOR ME, A DREAM COME TRUE!.. After suffering 3 strokes, Cutting fabric is a challenge for me. I LOVE this Quilt, and it has very little cutting, or "fancy" cutting to make it. It is for sure my next quilt project. YOU are such a blessing to so many of us beginner, and disabled quilters. THANK YOU!!.. We Love ya!...
love the you tubes tutorials as I am a visual learner!
Jenny you are just awesome! You're attitude of no stress makes it fabulous for a beginner quilter like myself. This quilt is gorgeous and on my to do list.
I LOVe this quilt, and I have admired the 54-40 or Fight for a while. I just needed to see the "Jenny way" to do it-you always make everything so easy. I love your humor, personality and quilts. Keep up the videos Jenny-Thank you!!
I have been wanting to see you do this block for years ...can't wait to make this quilt. Thanks for making this tutorial.
You are truly amazing! Jenny, when it comes to quilting tutorials, you are the "IT" girl.
Thanks Jenny for taking the time to teach us the process. I really like that whoever edits this video does not cut out what is required to get to the next step like so many other people tutors do. I have been watching each week for the last six years since I did my first Jelly Roll Quilt
Thank you for your feedback, Rosemarie! We are thrilled you've been tuning in for the past 6 years. :) We hope you have a wonderful time sewing!
I’ve been aching to make a navy and white quilt for our king sized bed and I think this is it! 😍
Jenny you are AWESOME!!! I love watching your videos. They are GREAT!!!! I also love some of the words you use to describe the fabric (wonky). Keep up the great work!!!!
I love your tutorials and use them daily. When I don't know how to do something all I have to do is go to one of your tutorials!!!!! I make many quilts from your tutorials!!!!
I Love your Tutorials and how easy you explain/show how to make different quilts. At the moment I'm making your Attic Window with the Deer. Thank you so much. Keep this going!!!
What a fun quilt to be working on! Be sure to send us a picture of the finished product sometime.
Jenny makes everything so easy. Went see Jenny’s town last summer.
We hope you had a great visit last summer! Be sure to visit us again soon! :)
Love your enthusiasm ❤❤❤ I’ve learned and do so much more cause of you. Thank you.
Its a birthday party quilt 👍great job!
Jenny without your tutorials I never would've started quilting. I love this quilt it certainly is exactly what could entertain any one as you can put these blocks together in different ways. Thank you for sharing it and put my name in the hat for an iron please
I love this 54-40 quilt. It is definately going to be my next quilt. Thanks Jenny for all the great tutorials
Love this pattern!
Jenny, As usual you have come through with a fantastic quilt that fits our current busy lifestyles. You are AWESOME!
I saw a quilt called Tennessee Waltz and wanted to make it. As SOON as I saw this quilt, I knew it was the same one. So as well as being 54-40 or Fight, it's also known as Tennessee Waltz.
Jenny, LOVE your tutorials!!!!
Just love this pattern and I think Jenny is great!
"Fun kind of sewing where all legs don't have to be exact" proceeds to make all legs exact. 😅 I just about flipped the table when i realized these are wonky stars. The quilt looks so symmetrical!!
I like the 2 block quilts Thank you Jenny
My husband and I started quilting just over a year ago and we have learned so much from your videos! Thank you Jenny and MSQC family for all of your your time and effort into making these videos. We definitely have become better quilters because of you!
Thank you so much for your kind words! :) We hope you are having the best time sewing together!
What a lovely, colorful quilt! I love the Grunge starry fabric and the freestyle blocks.
2 am in Southern California. Love this quilt! Thank you Jenny for your exuberance and your gracious reminder that it doesn't have to be perfect. :) Blessings!
What an awesome quilt. Jenny thank you for making this so easy to do.
I’m currently working on the Missouri Crossroads quilt for my niece as a wedding present, but this will be my next one for a coworker. I already have the fabric picked out and I can’t wait to start it!
Oh Jenny.... You are blessed with so much common sense.. Your techniques make projects so much more approachable.. Thank You!..
Every new tutorial is my new favorite 😂. Thank you!!
my favorite!
Loved the Candy Bag Zippered Pouch. As a beginning quilter, the tutorials are the best!
Oh my how lovely. I love those blocks. You make it look so easy. I'm going to have to watch it again and again to get the star block. Didn't quite get how you were lining them up. I'm sure I will when I try it with the fabric in my hands. Thanks Jenny!
Thank you for simplifying a more challenging quilt. How fun and less stress! Much appreciated⭐️❤️
Awesume quilt....many possibilities!....love Missouri quilting!
Love your videos.
Watching this Video yesterday made me want to make this one... tonight. I just finished sewing the last Block and tomorrow the top will be done... thank you Jenny for the inspiration and showing me how to do it!!! Thank you!!
I love this block. I'll wait until you do the snippet. I know a lot of people enjoy the long videos, but I really like the short ones that just show the basics. That's what's so great about your channel. You appeal to many styles of learning.
We're glad you enjoy the Quilt Snips!
Thanks for all the cool tutorial's. I love this quilt pattern. I think it will be my next project. Also thanks for reminding us about not stressing over the little things and that they're NO quilt police! Love you tutorial's Jenny!!
You are such a great teacher Jenny! I have developed a love for sewing and making quilts because of your tutorials. I could never have done it without you! Thank you 💕
The only problem I have is that I can shop for fabric so much faster than I can sew. 😂Love MSQ!!
My favorite tutorial (so far) was "Flying Home". I made it in fall colors and when it came back from being quilted, by Missouri Star or course, my husband immediately claimed it for himself! Thank you for these teaching gems!
Love this.....
Love the string quilt tutorial. Your directions are so easy to follow. Thank you.
You changed the way I felt about my ability when you introduced me to your non bias way of making triangle patches. Congratulations and much love from down under.
The Pig War of 1859 determined which of the San Juan Islands were included in the US and British 54-40 or Fight boundary dispute. Read all about it on Wikipedia. I lived in the San Juans during the '80s and '90s; a lovely place worth fighting for. I'll definitely make this quilt :)
I've basically learned to quilt by watching Jenny's tutorials. I can't claim to have a favorite, I love them all ! Congrats to MSQC on their 10th birthday, and I KNOW it won't take 10 more to reach a million subscribers.
me too! she is just awesome instructor...easy to follow....
Can’t wait to try this one
I look at my clothing totally different now that I have seen some of these quilting videos! I found FOUR plaid shirts that I am going to use in this quilt! Hope they will provide me with enough fabric for the squares in the second block. Thank you, Jenny for the history lesson. I was born and live in beloved Oregon!
Your freestyle approach to this quilt is awesome! No fussing with the Tri-Recs ruler! I love it. Thank you for sharing this with us!
I so enjoy these! She makes everything look so easy!!😍
You make short work of those blocks, they come together so easy
Love the short cuts that make an awesome design☺️
What a neat tutorial...you made it so doable. Hey..btw...i also have a "nest" at my sewing table to complete with a rolling chair...haaaa.
love the colors. bright and cheerful. You make it look so easy … Thanks Jenny
you just amaze me !! you make it look sooooo easy, then i get alone ... LOL I have to have my tv on to rewind you !
Half & Half is one of my favorites! You've made quilting so much fun & gave me the confidence to create my own quilt, which was a tactile quilt that I made for my granddaughter who has Downs Syndrome! YOU, dear lady, are a ROCK STAR!! Thank you for helping so many of us!!
I love that pattern!!
Good morning! It's really hard to have a favorite Missouri Star tutorial. ...they are all so very good
Really love the grundge!
This is definitely a pattern I will try. Thanks Jenny for all the inspiration you give me.
When I first saw this quilt, I thought I would never be able to do that! However, thanks to your instructions it is easy... Or at least a whole lot less complicated than what it looks lol and I am half done. Thank you!
My favorite tutorial has been the Disappearing Nine Patch. I have used it a couple times and the kids love it.
I love the Fifty-four Forty or Fight quilt tutorial! Thanks for all of the tutorials!! They are so helpful and inspiring!!! The biggest problem I come up with is which one to choose for my next quilt!!!
WOW! You did it again Jenny! You really amazed me with another one of your creations. Love you
I love this quilt and you make it look so easy to do! Thank you!!
Love it! The 4 patch block looks like propellers which fit into the theme. Thank you for another great tutorial.
Such a nice design
I love your Dresden Plate tutorial, but then again I haven't seen one I didn't like. This quilt has definitely been added to my to do list.
Another great pattern. Thanks for breaking down the directions, always easy to follow.
Jenny you made me laugh with your “health tip”! 😂😂😂😂. This is part of why I love your tutorials! You make it so fun!
Absolutely love this quilt. Looks soooo difficult and it is obviously not.
Jenny & family are so AmAzInGgggg!, I ❤️❤️❤️ the Facebook, TH-cam tutorials. You have inspired my in so many ways! I’ve tried a lot of the quilts; I ve love them all! The periwinkle template is my favorite go to for small gifts. I think I’ve about 100 of the m!! I give the 5” squares and the template along with a finished one for gifts!!
Love the colors and how you make this sew easy Jenny!
It took me a while to get to this one but it was so much fun making these blocks. I have been making a lot of quilts using kits for the past year so it was nice to be able to use my pre-cuts again. This one really works up fast too, thanks to Jenny's freestyle method. I am thinking of making another one of these up using civil war or 30's reproduction prints but the pattern lends itself to any fabric really so... I know I'll be using this pattern again. Thank You Jenny and everyone at MSQC for making these tutorials and for sharing your passion for making quilts with us :)
great quilt, it looks so complicated and will be fun to make. Thanks for all your hard work.
Your videos are always so inspirational. Hubby and visited your beautiful shop just last week. Absolutely - breathtaking. Truly a Quilters Town.
Awesome quilt.
Once again a super demo thanks
No other word for it....Brilliant! As always.
Thank you soooooo much Jenny.
Just love all you do!

I loved this and she made it look so simple. Guess I can start with making a quilt just using one of the pattern blocks and it would still be pretty. Thanks love this
Great Video, easy to understand and follow. You have a great teaching voice.
I first saw a Jenny Doan tutorial on craftsy a couple of years ago on quilting quickly. I have been hooked ever since. It does not matter if I will make the quilt or not ( although I love them all and have made a few) it is just fun to watch you. Your enthusiasm and that wonderful Jenny laugh have gotten me through some depressing days on their own. Everybody should have a Mom Jenny to watch! Ok, having said that, I LOVE your video on this pattern. It looked so daunting and you really broke it down. Think I will do in fall colors soon. I hope you never get tired of teaching Jenny. God Bless
Thank you so much for the kind message Zoanne Wilcox! We are so glad you've enjoyed Jenny's tutorials. Keep up the great work and be sure to send us pictures when you make this quilt. Fall colors would look lovely with this pattern!
+Missouri Star Quilt Company: Speaking of Jenny's tutorials on Craftsy: I recently joined Craftsy unlimited, a.k.a. bluprint, and I was looking forward to watching Jenny's classes on there, but I can't find them. Can you tell me if Jenny's Craftsy classes have been removed from the platform? And if so, have they been relocated? I tried searching on TH-cam, but could only find the trailers for them. Thank you. BTW, This quilt is so, so beautiful! Looks like it would be really fun to make, too!
