Great tutorial!! Love your Super Duper Easy Hourglass blocks. You are just amazing Jenny - each Friday you keep delivering wonderful quilt patterns. Also Love, Love the quick, short tutorials on all of the quilt blocks you recently made. Whoever thought those up needs a gold medal :)!! Thank You!
Thanks for your generous comment Sigi G! We appreciate your great love and support!
Woo-hoo can hardly wait to get started 💟
Oh, man! Yet another wonderful quilt design that I feel like I MUST make... you're driving me crazy MSQC-- I can't keep up with my wish list of all your great ideas on TH-cam! Luckily, I usually order my charm packs in groups of 4, as that's usually the number you need to make a nice-sized quilt... like this one. (And thanks again for another terrific tute!) ~Diana from Toronto
I would like to pair this with a 5 strip 10" block and a 4 block
Combine this and another quilt
What a great idea Marshall! Sounds wonderful!

What size should the hourglass blocks be after squaring up?
I am looking for the answer to this question, too. Did you happen to find the answer?
This looks right up my alley! Sometime I would love a video about how to easily piece long borders and backings from regular 44-45" fabrics.
Thanks for your suggestion MidWest Katie! Something we need to look into doing!
Try Jordan Fabrics she also has a TH-cam channel
Hi! Love this as I always have had problems with hourglass blocks. Can anyone tell me what size this block comes to if you use 5" squares? I'm desperately mathematically challenged......
I love this . It would be nice if you could give a finished size .i would like to make a sampler quilt using several of your blocks. Of the same size eg. 12 1/2 "
Thank you for your feedback, we will definitely look further into that for future tutorials.
Luv this quilt I'm going to make it for my granddaughter in blues as that's her favourite color. Thx Jenny I watch you so much that when I click on a tutorial my husband laughs and says How's Jenny today lol.
I tried this with 2 white and 2 print block 4 patches (every other one print) and when I put them face down, put colors on white and white on colors. When I cut them I got cool hourglasses like your Ohio Star quilt. I got 4 at a time, which makes it go faster.
What a great idea Sharon! We'd love to see a picture of this sometime!
I am new to quilting and your brilliant videos have given me enough confidence to try this one..... Materials all cut....wish me luck 😃
Way to go Trish! Keep up the great work, and we'd love to see a picture of the finished product sometime! :)
Trish Eales I know it's a year later, but was just curious how your hourglass quilt turned out?
I'm everytime so impressed , I ask myself, how did she get every week another georgeous ideas for such easy and impressive quilts. You are so creative - thanks for sharing your ideas.
What a happy looking quilt! So bright and pretty I think this will go into the queue. I bought a special patchwork presser foot for my sewing machine that claims to make precise 1/4" seams. Here's hoping it's Joyce proof...
How fun Joyce! We hope you enjoy your new special patchwork presser foot!
Love your tutorials , spend hours watching them , so don't get as much quilting done as I should 😂😂
I just used this metod for a scrap quilt using all of my scrap 5in squares! This was so easy. And Ibused my clealry perfect slotted trimmer to square all the completed blocks to 6in. Fast and easy. LOVE this. Thank you so much Jenny for another fast project. Although my scraps do not seem to have lessened any this was still an amazing venture. Hahaha
THIS IS AWESOME my kind of block! scrappy and easy!
Another great easy- to- follow video of beautiful quilt, Jenny. As always, many thanks.
I Love it! This should be really fun especially with the Holiday's coming. Great job Jenny... God Bless.
Can't believe how close we're getting to the Holidays BettyLCP!
Love this video - another great one! Thanks to you (having watched your tutorials countless times and practiced!) I have made real progress with my quilting.
Sou de Portugal e vejo todos os seus vídeos. Gosto tanto dos seus tecidos e tenho pena que não existam em Portugal. 😔 Desejo que estejam todos de saúde. Beijinhos....
How much fabric would I need to purchase if I buy yards instead of using charm packs???
To be good at anything, you have to enjoy it first. That is the best way to start. You enjoy teaching and have fun, so you are the best. Thanks a million!
Wow what a nice surprise! Beautiful fabric.
How much fun is this quilt !!! I sure do love spending a little of my Fridays every week with you, Jenny!! Thank you so much!!
We're so glad to hear that Karen! We appreciate your great love and support!
I'm thinking those Kaffe Fasset charm packs in the Daily Deal section would be WILDLY fun in this pattern!!
Those would be a lot of fun in this pattern Deborah! Great idea!
Hey Jenny... another great tutorial!!! Can you tell me what those blocks finish out at... would it be 4 1/2"? I'd love to use this method on a different quilt, but the instructions call for a 5 1/2" square then cut into quarter square triangles, but I'd MUCH rather use your new innovative method! Thanks Much!
Could this be done with the 10 inch squares like your original video?
Awesome!
Love your work !
And your sense of humour!
Your my favourite part of Friday !
👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks for your darling comment aussieaussie aussie! We hope you're having a nice Friday!
I love your Super Dupa easy tutorials , you make me smile each time I watch you
Rowena (UK)
Thank you M* for another wonderful tutorial! I can't wait to make this one!!
We're excited for you to make this quilt as well Barbara!
You're a hoot to watch. You make it look so easy. You make it fun.
Always the best and most innovative videos around! Thanks Jenny.
OMGoodness Jenny... I went and played with this after i saw the tutorial. I discovered you can use a 21/2 strip set a a 5"charm. It turned out pretty good. I can't remember how to post pictures from my phone or camera . I would have liked to share it with you. but I'm sure you can figure it out. You are so inspiring my Friend, TY Jenny God Bless
What a great idea BettyLCP! You can post pictures to our Facebook page if you want!
TY didn't think about that...
That is Brilliant (I never would have thought of that!) I have lots of leftover strips from jelly rolls so am always on the lookout for ways to use them. I'd love to see pictures from your project :)
BettyLCP please show, I have plenty of jelly roll scraps, even HELP with with directions.
You cannot post pictures on TH-cam you would have to video tape yourself and post the video link. Or just go to their Facebook page
I wonder if she thinks it’s fun?😉
Pure genius and oh so much fun. Thanks for sharing.
So much fun! On my list of projects. Thank you, Jenny.
Holy triangles, Batman!! Super duper is right! I'll have to do this with my next quilt.
We hope you do Phyllis B!
Complete beginner here, I just love your tutorials and they're inspiring me tremendously but not getting started because I think I have a bit of an addiction watching these videos....just can't stop😁
I'm going to get my supplies and fabrics this week and get started, wish me luck!
I love this. I have a lot of scraps from other projects so I cut the leftovers into 5 inch squares. Now I know what to do with them. THANK YOU SO MUCH
Very nice and amazing tutorial
Thanks for sharing this wonderful technology .
Je suis toujours émerveillée de voir les différentes techniques pour un travail parfait, merci Joan.
love this quilt.looks so easy. your the best jenny!!
Loved the tutorial. Do you have a video on how to do the backing and edges for this particular blanket? I'm new to sewing and quilting.
Thank you for the tips on the hourglass aka quarter square triangles! This looks like a fun project to try!
Best technique I've ever seen for making an hour-glass block! Thank you. The green back is an excellent choice for a quilt that will be laid on the grass for a picnic, etc.
You are amazing!!!! I love the simplicity of the pattern. Thank you for sharing. 💕🙏
Jennie love this tip. I needed an easy way to make some. Thanks so much. Hugs to you.
Jenny, you are a genius. I am always amazed at how you put your quilts together. You make it so easy . Love your tutorials,and would love to visit your quilt store someday. Best wishes from Indiana.
How would this look using 10 inch squares? I have some AM Loves Always 36 FQ and wondering how to calculate quilt size?
This is a fantastic stashbuster. I have, however, found that I absolutely have to square up all the blocks.
Jenny, I have had such a hard time keeping the points in line. thank you, I tried this and with practice I will get those points right! this one was so easy!
it's very beautiful and easy thank u so much for sharing it with us.
It looks like she sews them together without squaring them up. Has anybody tried this? I usually square my blocks.
Очень неожиданно, гениально в своей простоте!
i tried this technique using 2.5 in squares and it worked too
What a wonderful idea Nikki knot! We'd love to see a picture of this quilt sometime!
Muy hermoso y muy bien explicado gracias 😉
Thank you Francisco!
Super duper! *snort* now I know where that came from!
This is so fun! Adding this hourglass quilt to my to-do list. . . I just bought fabrics from your website to make the "Strips and 4 patch quilt" using fabrics similar to Catherine Galley's beautiful red quilt posted on your FB timeline where she used Kaffe Passion and Kona corals and reds. Who can resist? And I bought Kaffe Passion Shaggy Red for the backing. Wonderful big flowers!! I am constantly inspired and learn so much from your tutorials and I love your fabric selections!! And I have my fingers and eyes crossed that I will also win big in your Golden Star Sweepstakes. How I would love to win a trip to Missouri!!
:)
This quilt sounds gorgeous niftyneedle95628! We're so glad you like our tutorials! Keep up the great work!
This is so pretty, I just love the colours. I keep buying fabric and cannot keep up, lol. Need to retire soon and just quilt! Thanks Jenny this is going to be an easy and fun one to do in our Canadian winters!
Thank you Janice! We hope you enjoy making this block!
I love this! Once again you took something that looked difficult and made it sew easy! I'm defiantly going to try this one. Thank you sew much for another wonderful tutorial. You are a very gifted quilter.
We appreciate your comment Coldfusion1205, and hope you enjoy making this quilt!
Looks fun! If you wanted a traditional hour glass layout you could just make the two four patch blocks with alternating darks and lights, and using 4 charm packs means you could even use the exact same prints in the blocks.
What a wonderful idea SaritaSigns!
Thank you.. Awesome
How do you think this would look using plaid shirting? Not flannel. Thanks
If I want to make this blue and white how would I arrange the squares to make it work?
I'm a big fan of MSQ and Jenny. She never fails to hit the mark. A mixed hourglass quilt or quarter square... who cares.
Am moving it to the front of my awfully long line of "to do next".
We appreciate your great love and support susan chase!
I agree! Super-duper easy idea!!! ❤️
You create the most fabulous quilts!
This is amazing! Thank you for all the great ideas!
Great quilt! This would be terrific for scraps! Scrap bin...here I come!
This would be a perfect quilt for scraps Linda!
Okay, Jenny! This is another quilt that I'm putting in my que! Thank you for being the very best teacher ever!! When I first got married 25 years ago, I purchased a quilting book through a book club and it was always my dream to learn to quilt. Kids came and the years got busy, but ten years ago, I found you and you helped my dreams come true! Now, I'm learning all sorts of things continually and I have you to thank for helping us visual learners! Appreciate you and your team so very much! I always tell people that you're my "Best friend"! Haha! Many blessings to you for all you've imparted in me and others over the years! You are a gem!
I love this quilt - I'm new at quilting and it was very easy to do - though I'm ready to sew rows together and someone said I needed to measure each block to find the smallest one and then cut the rest down to that size - is this true?
It's much easier to line up your seams if all your blocks are the same size. I haven't tried this technique yet, but it seems as though the blocks would come out very close to the same size without much trimming.
Is there a way to do that Wanting a background using a white try and pack or two?
This was before Jenny squared her blocks!
I need something easy, and this worked for me I am just learning to make quilts
thank you!
Welcome to the quilting family Mary! :)
Nine, Nine-patches :) Love it!
Thanks Jenny,We love you!
Awesome tutorial! I was thinking this would also work great with the Alter Ego quilt. I could just make all 4 patches and the take half of those to make the hourglass block with this tutorial. Hmmm, do ya'll think this would work?
I think it might work renea lee! I say it's worth a try! :)
Renea lee - Did You try this method for the alter ego quilt and how did it work out? I want to make the alter ego quilt again and if I can do it using this method it would be beyond fast which would be wonderful :)
Mind blown!! So will this work with only 2 patterns?
Is there a way to apply this when using 10 inch squares?
This is life changing! Thanks, Jenny!
Would you do a tutorial on adding borders that won’t be wavy
Lindo y facil proyecto gracias abrazos
I like your ruler bracelet, where can I find one to buy?
Did you use 4 of the same patterns of the charm packs
Hour glass with 2 colour and back fabric
This is probably a silly question. New quilter here. Would this work with 10” squares? I would put 4 10” squares together?
Yes. 10 inch squares would work but your blocks would be bigger. Or you can cut those 10 inch squares into 5 inch charms and follow the pattern in the video.
im sorry i cant add but what are the block size?
If you sew. Allaroud it how do you turn it right side outl
Genious!
Que lindo tutorial, lo haces ver fácil. Se que no lo es, pero es divertido. Gracias 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
was looking for your hourglass tutorial and came across this. How cool is that!!? love it- want to do it smaller in a baby quilt, but that picnic size seems perfect.
We're so glad you like this tutorial Cathy, and hope you enjoy making this quilt!
Cathy Wilson I think you've just come up with a new size description = Baby, lap, throw, picnic, twin, queen and king!! hahaha Way to go ladies!!
what size hourglass block does this make? im just thinking about shrinking the size but would like to know what size you end up with using 5" squares
Great question susan sobon! The individual hourglass block is 6"!
Sorry, should have said hi Jenny. Toni
a wonderful tutorial. thank you
I just ❤ how you're able to take what can be a labor-intensive, time-consuming quilt block & turn it into a quick & easy adventure!
I'm about to embark on a baby quilt in pinks & whites for my newborn granddaughter & am so inspired by this tutorial.
Thank You!!!
That is The quietest sewing machine luv it!
I believe that one is the Baby Lock Kathrine. Jenny has used a few different machines since then.
This looks like a lot of fun.
Jenny, I LOVE you! I have learned SEW much from your tutorials and you are just an awesome instructor. I am SEW going to make this hourglass quilt!!! I have always loved the look but shied away from "all....that....piecing"! LOL Thank You sew much for this! Hugs!
Another brilliant video, fun and upbeat. Thanks for being there Jenny and MSQC, you make quilting accessible!
Can you tell me how big the squares would need to be if putting four together ending up with a 12.5" quilt square?
Connie Gordon not sure if you’ll ever see this, but just doing the math for you in theory: if you want 12.5” finished hourglasses, you need to start w 4 squares that are 9 3/8”. Subtracting seam allowances, that should give you a 17.5” square, which when you cut diagonally, will result in slightly oversized 12.5” blocks that you can trim down. Disclaimer: haven’t actually made it/tested it.
