I have been collecting patterns for some time now, because I lost my pattern notebooks in a move about 5 yrs ago. One of my new patterns has stars like this in it so I am watching this to learn the technique. I'm almost 70 and taught myself how to make patchwork quilts about 10 years ago. Wanting one for myself as my blanket. It is 45 yrs old and I've slept under it almost every night. My 'blankie' was made with my mother helping me, it was my 1st. We made it by sewing 2 flat sheets together, adding a thick batting and tying it with yarn. Now, after all these yrs, it is threadbare. With a corner chewed by a puppy, everyone important and loved in my life, have slept under it. It saddens me, but I need a new quilt. With a growing family, it seems that I have given all the patchwork quilts I have made, away over the years. So thank you very much for showing me how to sew "my" last quilt, top. The others I will make after it, will most likely be given away too. But this one will be mine. I'll send it out to be hand quilted, as I've lost my quilting frame and my hands are too arthritic to hand quilt again. Machine quilted tops are very pretty but a hand quilted quilt, is special. Each one of my quilts have been made with love and kindness with every stitch. Lots of prayers are put into them, too! I'll share my quilting tips to make a beautiful, treasured quilt with you who are reading this... The quilts you make today may be a life's comfort to those who are fortunate to sleep warm, under them. It's not the quilt so much as the blessings you put into them. Don't forget that little bit of extra, when you sew your quilts. I believe that thoughts are things, so never get angry or resentful as you sew your creations. Always ask God to bless your work as you hand the finished product to another. God bless! ~Grammy D
Grammy D, you’re an inspiration. I love your sharing your journey of your blankie. After you make your new quilt. Just a suggestion. Why don’t you section off your old one, and frame it with a little message about how it was made by you and your mum, and what it’s meant to you all these years. Then you can share your old blankie with loved ones who will cherish it and your memories.
From one grammy to another....Thank you for sharing your beautiful story and the message of prayers, love and feelings that you put in every quilt. How blessed are al of those quilt recipients to have one of your quilts. I am blessed with 5 grandkids who have all received a graduation quilt to take to college with grammy's love inside. Of course all 4 sons have also received quilts. Since I learned to quilt after 3 had finished college their quilts were wedding quilts...all king sized, since those "boys" range from 6'1" to 6'5"! One lucky son got a college graduation quilt and a wedding quilt.
..."Oh, I found a little bunny in my garden yesterday..... that's completely off the subject.." LOL I wanna hear about the bunny!!! Another great tutorial Jenny. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🌈🦋💖
When I was working, I looked forward to Fridays for the weekend. Now, I'm retired, and I look forward to Fridays for your tutorials! Thank you for all of them!
I love this one!!!!! I can’t tell you how much you have inspired me along the way. I “found” you three years ago after having surgery in my toe which forced me to find something to keep me busy why recuperating. I had to stay off my foot for two months, then rehab so sewing was something that fit right in😊. (My mom taught me to sew when I was very young so it was second nature to me to begin with). I wanted to do something that was “new” but familiar (does that make sense?). I always made my clothes - never quilts. Fast forward three years - I can’t stop quilting! I sew every day, I bought a long arm machine and I use every scrap! After the quilt is done, I make a runner with the left over fabric. After the runner is done, I find something to do with “mount scrapmore”. Nothing goes to waste unless it is less than 1/2 inch piece. I am just finishing a spider web quilt using the small periwinkle template you sell. That used up a lot of smaller scraps. MANY thanks for your videos. Not only do my friends and family thank you (they get the quilts) but sewing brings back so many cherished memories of my mom. It’s one way of being close to her, at least in my heart. She lived to be 99 1/2 so there are many memories to conjure up as I sew.
Absolutely gorgeous. Looks Amish. So pretty. Thanks Jenny. Love that you are so real with us. Also that you are not always trying to sell something! You are very talented & have a wonderful staff (family). Happy Mother's Day ladies and God bless you and your families.
Jenny, I would like to see what the 4 black squares in the center would look like snowballed...ordered the jelly roll..this will be a challenging block...can’t wait to try though..as always thank you.
That was my immediate idea when I first looked at this video. The black square between the stars should have a colored diamond in it to mirror the black diamond next to it. That would provide a pleasing overall pattern.
I love geometry! I see a Quilt of Valor with a dark blue background and red, white, and blue stars. Thanks, Jenny! By the way, I found a bobcat in my backyard. Yikes! Liz in Colorado
Nanna Liz. There are videos on TH-cam of Russian people who save bobcats etc and actually have one as a pet. They even shampoo it in the bath and it waits for its food to be cut up very patiently. Sometimes the bond between animals and humans surprises you, though I guess you shouldn't try this at home...😂
I love this easier way to do the diamonds! Also, I’m loving the new over your shoulder view of the actual sewing! So much easier for people like me who are visual learners!
Jenny , I want to make one of these but I'm going to tell you I'm going to have to watch you several more times for it to sink in this crazy brain of mine. You ARE JUST AMAZING ! I Love your tutorials!♥️♥️♥️
Love the look of this quilt. I'm finding I am hugely angley challenged and these stars are definitely difficult for me but when they turn out well so satisfying. Will try this as a table topper first.
I love this pattern. I already ordered all the fabric for it. I’ve never made a quilt with a black background. Plus I was surprised to see that you mixed the fabric type which is something else I never did. But I’m going to do it. Thank you Jenny for all of your beautiful patterns. 😊❤️
Another way to ensure your points match... the overlap of the seams should be at 1/4". Line them up so as you sew the new seam is directly over the "v" created by the seams from the piecing. I like focusing on the seam rather than the hanging edges.
Yup! This one's got me thinking...... the what if syndrome? I'm thinking flowery with either deep blue side squares, or a pale blue? I have a Gabriella JR..... hhhhmm? Love it too in that black, but ya use what you've got sometimes! And yes, very Amish!! Love you guy's! Thanks for gettin you're creative juices together! Aaaaaahhhh, a wonderful tutorial with Jenny!.. I am complete now. Until next thursday..... hee-hee! 🤗
Can't wait to do one..... Thank you for sharing ❤️💗❤️💖 SENDING A BRIGHT WHITE LIGHT OF LOVE TO SURROUND THE UNIVERSE AND EVERYONE 🤗❣️❣️🤗💞💖🤗 AND HUGS FOR EVERYONE 🤗❣️❣️🤗💞
I love this (and ALL of Jenny's tutorials). I think snowballing the corners of the four outside black squares before assembling would add a secondary block. It wouldn't distract from the large star block.
Nanna Liz I was thinking the same thing about a Quilt of Valor. I am working on one right now for my grandson who is in the Navy and I have been wracking my brain to find a pattern to make one for my oldest son who spent 24 years in the Navy. I think I need to start looking for colors that would work using this pattern. Thanks, Jenny.
I'm finishing up a huge Lone Star quilt out of jellyrolls and the process is somewhat the same. I could see that the binding ruler would probably help a great deal keeping the diamonds straight if you check each row before sewing the next one on.
Sorry: what I meant to say you could make a parallel cut to your seam so you can practice again What I should have said about keeping the threads out of the way is just lay them on the bed very gently so they don’t make a mess. After 3-4 stitches you can let go
Hello Jenny, I am a Totally New Beginner to Quilting 😋 & I am learning so much from you, thank you 😁 this quilt is Stunning with the Black has a contrast colour 😁 Erica x
Love this quilt! Your tutorials are the best! I would love to see Jenny make a tutorial on the chandelier pattern. I think watching her put this pattern together would make more sense to my brain than just reading instructions. I’m a visual learner which is why I love her tutorials so much!
The first quilt I ever made was a lone star similar to this but with three-strip sets instead of two. With this strip piecing method, larger stars are not terrifying.
I certainly did enjoy this tutorial Jenny! It wont be much longer and I'll be able to sew . Had my surgery today and now at home recovering. I bought my self a new machine , a babylock Jazz ll.Been getting some material ready and I can barely wait !!!😊😊🤗
Beautiful ☺ I make so many of these. Diamonds are my favorite to work with. I make lots of different diamond star quilts. So many options. And black background with batiks are always the best ☺ Thanks for the video MSQC ☺
Thankyou Jenny love love love it I got that ruler too so guess what I am going to make thankyou so much for keeping things going through the covid it is well appreciated thankyou again kim
A cautionary tale: I used a pinked jelly roll and then cut some extra 2 1/2" strips from my stash to make blue/turqoise/purple stars. I don't recommend mixing strips from two sources on this one, the math is already a little mind-twisting. I'm finding some of my stars are not as perfect as others. Also be super careful about sewing on the bias not to stretch the fabric! This will be a practice quilt for me, and next time I do this spectacular design I'll be more careful!
A couple more idea for success. Once you make your quarter of a star, go ahead and trim the edges that have both black and diamonds. Why? Because your background is bigger than the diamonds, and when you start sewing them all together you need to have a straight seam. I didn't trim, but ended up pinning a lot, and drawing the seam line on those edges to make sure i didn't veer when on the black. Secondly, if you are going to do a border, I highly recommend trying your background color/black for the most internal border, because it helps your stars appear to float more. Have fun!
Wow, this is just stunning, can you imagine the color ways that would make it that way, looks easy enough I just cannot keep up with all of these patterns, they are all on my to do list...
I feel I have connected with you and quilting on a deep level. 😂 I’m a SE Mo girl so there’s that and as soon as you said you were a leftie, I was even more invested lol! I have such a hard time watching people make projects and have to adjust with them being right handed. I’ve been watching several of your videos and I am loving your quilts! Almost finished with my first quilt now. 😊
Hi Jenny I’m relatively new to sewing and I haven’t made a quilt yet but I was wondering can I use the ruler you used in the lemon star quilt block to make this type of block. Could you recommend any other videos using that ruler as well please. Many thanks Suzanne
"I saw a little bunny in my garden." Lol. One of the reasons I love watching your tutorials. Aside from a good teaching tutorial, Your fun and bubbly personality keeps me engaged.
Hello Ann Broughton, I am in Montreal and I order all my stuff from mostly MSQC, their prices are outstanding and even with the exchange rate you will win. Plus their inventory is amazing.
You could also use your Creative Grids 2.5 X 12.5 which is marked with a 45* angle and then after the first cut, you will be good to go with the 2.5” width.
I have the Omnigrip 2-1/2" X 18" ruler that I use all the time, it's one of my favorites, great for cutting binding. It has a 45 degree line on it, and I think would work well for this pattern. If you have something like that, you could use it instead.
high jenny, i loved your video. your about the only person who speaks to my brain where i can comprehend. I wanna make this but i wanna make the whole quilt one complete star. can you help me figure it out please. i been looking at the pictures for years. this video is the closest ive seen.
Hi Jenny..when you sew the 2 an half strips together ..did you put the right sides out on both strips before cutting? Orcut on the wrong sides.thank you!
Love this pattern. I am older now and have a hard time handling the quilting of a large finished top. So I am hoping I can use it to quilt as I go. And then put the blocks together after they are quilted. 🙏
It's so cute, How many inches should each piece of fabric be to make a star, I mean the width and length of the pieces of fabric. Please reply thank you
Jenny You are the best! Your enthusiasm, even after all the years You have been making quilts, is something all Die hard quilt makers can totally relate to. I sure can. It made me smile to see that Your approach to making these stars was the same as mine too, which makes so much sense compared to many Lone star type patterns. You keep quilt making a fun adventure, which is how it is supposed to be. (I also wanted to hear more about the bunny that visited You :) ) Thanks for another wonderful tutorial.
Please show putting the 4 strips together. I struggled because of always putting right sides together when cutting the diamonds. Please tell if you stack them on top of each other
love the tutorial--I feel the same way about these kind of blocks--I am Left handed and I get more angley challenged as I get older. PS I wanted to know about the bunny too!!!
I wan to know where you got your tape to put on the base of your machine that gives you the sewing guide. Need all the help I can get. Thank you and God bless you.
Thanks again for awesome tutorial. I would love you to do a tutorial on the bias ruler use. I am left handed also and sometimes “challenged” in figuring out a cut. Want to make 1/2 yard bias.
Thank you!!! I had some diamond left from a project and wish I would have seen this first! I did use two different diamonds.. and it looks great... !! Thank you much!
I am trying to make a block now, to practice for making a small 9 block Morning Star quilt later. I'm wondering if there's a place I can see other's finished quilts?
Thank you for your videos. It helps my sewing. I like the fact that you do not edit out any time you need to correct yourself. I make so many mistakes and need to redo and this give me the comfort in knowing I’m not alone. Mistakes are all part of life.
HOW DID YOU MARK YOUR SEW MACHINE TO DO ACURATE 1/4 INCH SEAM? I NOTICED BLACK AND RED MARKS ?......ON THE BED OF MACHINE.ENJOYED THIS TUTORIAL. BLESSINGS FROM ELLSINORE MISSOURI ❤️ GLORIA
She is using diagonal seam tape! They sell it on the website. It's been sold out for months, haven't checked in a couple of weeks though, so it could be back in stock. Here's the link: www.missouriquiltco.com/search?q=Diagonal+seam+tape
So cute that even after all the years Jenny has been quilting, she still gets excited when the points match perfectly! 👏☺️👍
Where did you get the tape to put on your sewing machine for a straight line.?
Jenny if after the block is trimmed you could snowball the corners and then you would have a spot of color in the center of the large black square.
Barbara Baker that’s a great idea!
I was just thinking that exact thing!
Genius idea 💡😊
How do you snowball the corners?
Love that idea!

What a journey into quilting, Hildi! Thank you for sharing and for being part of the Missouri Star family!
New but familiar makes perfect sense. That’s a keeper for sure.
And thanks for your sweet family stories
Beautiful quilt! It reminds me of an Amish quilt.
Absolutely gorgeous. Looks Amish. So pretty. Thanks Jenny. Love that you are so real with us. Also that you are not always trying to sell something! You are very talented & have a wonderful staff (family). Happy Mother's Day ladies and God bless you and your families.
Jenny, I would like to see what the 4 black squares in the center would look like snowballed...ordered the jelly roll..this will be a challenging block...can’t wait to try though..as always thank you.
PD Moss I thought the same 👍🤓
That was my immediate idea when I first looked at this video. The black square between the stars should have a colored diamond in it to mirror the black diamond next to it. That would provide a pleasing overall pattern.
I am going to try it snowballed as well. I want a pop of color in those black squares. Great minds think alike! 😀 Happy Quilting!

I am also a visual learner!
This is going to be made for my 21 year old granddaughter. But I'm going to have to watch the tutorial x before I feel confident.

Love how you share your “boo boos” so we do not. OR at least we don’t feel so dumb. Thank you, Jenny.
For anyone making this also check out Donna Jordan's Lone Star quilt and she shows what you can do with the 'waste' from these.
I was thinking the same thing (About Donna Jordan's Lone Star Quilt Videos)
This is really nice! I'm going to try this. Thanks Jenny!
Another way to ensure your points match... the overlap of the seams should be at 1/4". Line them up so as you sew the new seam is directly over the "v" created by the seams from the piecing. I like focusing on the seam rather than the hanging edges.
Great tutorial:) since this is all bias, batiks are the way to go, less stretch
Yup! This one's got me thinking...... the what if syndrome? I'm thinking flowery with either deep blue side squares, or a pale blue? I have a Gabriella JR..... hhhhmm? Love it too in that black, but ya use what you've got sometimes! And yes, very Amish!! Love you guy's! Thanks for gettin you're creative juices together!

When you have sewn about sixty million seams and are still happy about matching 😂😂😂
Sometimes, it's the little things that spark the wonder!
I love this (and ALL of Jenny's tutorials). I think snowballing the corners of the four outside black squares before assembling would add a secondary block. It wouldn't distract from the large star block.
Agree
LOVE The Jelly Roll For This Pattern..🌺 Great Tutorial Jenny... 🤗 🎉 p.s. Happy Moms Day To You an the Other Gals there Too... 😃🌷
😳 this looks so complicated but your calming voice gives me the confidence to try it.
Nanna Liz I was thinking the same thing about a Quilt of Valor.

Love, Love Love this quilt. "the bunny part made it even better!" There is a reason we all love Jenny.
Gorgeous quilt! The stars are a little scary to me, all that bias. But Jenny encourages us to try, so I believe I'll give it a go!
Sorry: what I meant to say you could make a parallel cut to your seam so you can practice again
What I should have said about keeping the threads out of the way is just lay them on the bed very gently so they don’t make a mess. After 3-4 stitches you can let go

Wow! No Y seams! I first saw this and thought, no way, but Jenny, you always make it "do-able"!!!! I just may try this!!!
I certainly did enjoy this tutorial Jenny! It wont be much longer and I'll be able to sew . Had my surgery today and now at home recovering. I bought my self a new machine , a babylock Jazz ll.Been getting some material ready and I can barely wait !!!😊😊🤗
Beautiful ☺ I make so many of these. Diamonds are my favorite to work with. I make lots of different diamond star quilts. So many options. And black background with batiks are always the best ☺ Thanks for the video MSQC ☺
Thankyou Jenny love love love it I got that ruler too so guess what I am going to make thankyou so much for keeping things going through the covid it is well appreciated thankyou again kim
Just love working with Jenny....it’s like having my mum with me....love you Jenny
I used only 6" squares cut on the diagonal for the background, and that made a very pretty 8-sided table topper. Love this pattern. Thanks, Jenny!
Beautiful quilt and Jenny makes it seem so easy. Love it! Can you make a tutorial on the Bridal Bouquet Quilt Block for us! PLEASE! 💐💐💐
Hee hee! I love how you say to sew slow but the you take off like a Indy 500 driver! ❤
Love the top view of what you're doing.
Si much easier to see exactly what you're doing.
Happy Mother’s Day Jenny! Great tutorial as always. Red, white and blue in my future.
Fantastic! Love your tips for doing these stars. As usual your energy and enthusiasm is charming. Be safe, stay well.
Great suggestion to sew from the center of the block in order to align points
Looks like fireworks to me, beautiful...thanks Jenny.
I need Jenny Doan to sing the FULL song of "Some Enchanted Evening"!!!!
Love those old musicals and Jenny has a beautiful voice!
I love this quilt. The black background makes it pop and look amazing
A cautionary tale: I used a pinked jelly roll and then cut some extra 2 1/2" strips from my stash to make blue/turqoise/purple stars. I don't recommend mixing strips from two sources on this one, the math is already a little mind-twisting. I'm finding some of my stars are not as perfect as others. Also be super careful about sewing on the bias not to stretch the fabric! This will be a practice quilt for me, and next time I do this spectacular design I'll be more careful!
It’s beautiful! I have this pattern so it was already on my bucket list. Thanks!
This is amazing!! Imagine black centers, gold bands, and yellow points on a nice light blue background!!! Sunflowers and sky! I might just do that!!!
A couple more idea for success. Once you make your quarter of a star, go ahead and trim the edges that have both black and diamonds. Why? Because your background is bigger than the diamonds, and when you start sewing them all together you need to have a straight seam. I didn't trim, but ended up pinning a lot, and drawing the seam line on those edges to make sure i didn't veer when on the black.
Secondly, if you are going to do a border, I highly recommend trying your background color/black for the most internal border, because it helps your stars appear to float more. Have fun!
I’d like to make smaller stars using 1.5” strips.... what size squares should I cut for the background?? Thank you!!!
Не могу найти Ваше одеяло с тюльпанами. Пожалуйста. Если это возможно выложите это видео. Очень хотелось бы его увидеть. Ваши поклонники из России!
Wow, this is just stunning, can you imagine the color ways that would make it that way, looks easy enough I just cannot keep up with all of these patterns, they are all on my to do list...
I feel I have connected with you and quilting on a deep level. 😂 I’m a SE Mo girl so there’s that and as soon as you said you were a leftie, I was even more invested lol! I have such a hard time watching people make projects and have to adjust with them being right handed. I’ve been watching several of your videos and I am loving your quilts! Almost finished with my first quilt now. 😊
Welcome to the Missouri Star family, Amber! We hope to see you here often and maybe see some of your creations!
Hi Jenny I’m relatively new to sewing and I haven’t made a quilt yet but I was wondering can I use the ruler you used in the lemon star quilt block to make this type of block. Could you recommend any other videos using that ruler as well please. Many thanks Suzanne
"I saw a little bunny in my garden." Lol. One of the reasons I love watching your tutorials. Aside from a good teaching tutorial, Your fun and bubbly personality keeps me engaged.
Love watching you on TH-cam. However in Ontario we have trouble finding patterns and jelly rolls. Keep up the good work you enjoy doing
Hello Ann Broughton, I am in Montreal and I order all my stuff from mostly MSQC, their prices are outstanding and even with the exchange rate you will win. Plus their inventory is amazing.
I live in Okinawa and they ship internationally, great prices and amazing selection!
I would like to see how do you cut completely the tube with the 45 ruler?
You could also use your Creative Grids 2.5 X 12.5 which is marked with a 45* angle and then after the first cut, you will be good to go with the 2.5” width.
I would like to see how to cut 2,5" with 'regular' ruler, I don't have that binding ruler...
I have the Omnigrip 2-1/2" X 18" ruler that I use all the time, it's one of my favorites, great for cutting binding. It has a 45 degree line on it, and I think would work well for this pattern. If you have something like that, you could use it instead.
I think I would try and cheat and just make the stars and applique them onto a 21 Inch square block....if it's possible
Thanks Jenny! This is so much easier than dealing with those pesky Y seams!
How many yards of each color would be needed when using yardage? Today is Sept 16, 2020. Love the video and thanks!
Would cool to have smaller stars in the black square blocks. Could use your left overs.
high jenny, i loved your video. your about the only person who speaks to my brain where i can comprehend. I wanna make this but i wanna make the whole quilt one complete star. can you help me figure it out please. i been looking at the pictures for years. this video is the closest ive seen.
Hi Jenny..when you sew the 2 an half strips together ..did you put the right sides out on both strips before cutting? Orcut on the wrong sides.thank you!
Channel anda sangat bagus🤗
Love this pattern. I am older now and have a hard time handling the quilting of a large finished top. So I am hoping I can use it to quilt as I go. And then put the blocks together after they are quilted. 🙏
It's so cute, How many inches should each piece of fabric be to make a star, I mean the width and length of the pieces of fabric. Please reply thank you
Jenny You are the best! Your enthusiasm, even after all the years You have been making quilts, is something all Die hard quilt makers can totally relate to. I sure can. It made me smile to see that Your approach to making these stars was the same as mine too, which makes so much sense compared to many Lone star type patterns. You keep quilt making a fun adventure, which is how it is supposed to be. (I also wanted to hear more about the bunny that visited You :) ) Thanks for another wonderful tutorial.
Also played around with this last night and did a trial with blocks of 3x3 fabrics instead of 2x2, and it worked great. Super technique! Thank you!
Please show putting the 4 strips together. I struggled because of always putting right sides together when cutting the diamonds. Please tell if you stack them on top of each other
love the tutorial--I feel the same way about these kind of blocks--I am Left handed and I get more angley challenged as I get older. PS I wanted to know about the bunny too!!!
I wan to know where you got your tape to put on the base of your machine that gives you the sewing guide. Need all the help I can get. Thank you and God bless you.
Where in the world do I find the quarter inch seam allowance tape that is on the sewing machine? I love this idea. Does anyone know? Thank you.
May I say, I love the studio? As always, thank you for the Tutorial Jenny... 😊😊😊
Thanks again for awesome tutorial. I would love you to do a tutorial on the bias ruler use. I am left handed also and sometimes “challenged” in figuring out a cut. Want to make 1/2 yard bias.
I love this quilt
Thank you!!! I had some diamond left from a project and wish I would have seen this first! I did use two different diamonds.. and it looks great... !! Thank you much!
If you mark your seams at .25 & pin above them that you will always get a perfect point to match up
I am trying to make a block now, to practice for making a small 9 block Morning Star quilt later. I'm wondering if there's a place I can see other's finished quilts?
Hi, Sheila! You might try our Facebook page, Instagram page or quiltsby.me. Hope this helps!
I am enjoying your tutorials . You are so talented!!! You give me confidence to try this beautiful quilt!!
Never Mind - Found it - Jenny - what is that tape you have on your machine to extend the lines ???
i love this so much. am truly impressed and inspired. i will try and make it in karachi, pakistan. Absolutely wonderful tutorial.
Thank you for your videos. It helps my sewing. I like the fact that you do not edit out any time you need to correct yourself. I make so many mistakes and need to redo and this give me the comfort in knowing I’m not alone. Mistakes are all part of life.
Great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HOW DID YOU MARK YOUR SEW MACHINE TO DO ACURATE 1/4 INCH SEAM? I NOTICED BLACK AND RED MARKS ?......ON THE BED OF MACHINE.ENJOYED THIS TUTORIAL. BLESSINGS FROM ELLSINORE MISSOURI ❤️ GLORIA
She is using diagonal seam tape! They sell it on the website. It's been sold out for months, haven't checked in a couple of weeks though, so it could be back in stock. Here's the link: www.missouriquiltco.com/search?q=Diagonal+seam+tape
Wow you always find a way to make what appears difficult easy again.
my points came out to far on the background and l lost some points when I trimmed what am I doing wrong?
I like this quilt except for those big black squares...they overpower the rest of the quilt.
Excellent tutorial. Thank you Jenny. I had a ground hog in my garden yesterday. Spring in 🇨🇦
This is brilliant!! Can’t wait to make it!
It would be so great if you would do a tutorial on making this block with a honey bun. I think it would be darling in a smaller size.
Мне очень нравятся смотреть ваши мастер-классы, очень понятно всё показываете и рассказываете, большое спасибо!
Amazing. Would like to see it with a border. Thinking that would be cool but not good at visualizing it.
I'm so excited Jenny, I stuck with it and I've got it. Thanks so much
