well here I go ,first quilt and I am 65 now, but I am determined to do so.thanks it looks so awesome.
I am always eager to crawl out of bed on Friday --- cause I know that Jenny is waiting for me with a new tutorial. My husband laughs and tells me that he wishes Jenny had one every day - that way he could make the bed as soon as he is up!!! Love ya Jenny
Another grandson’s quilt- check! Thanks. Great idea! Happy sewing.
After I've laid out my blocks how I want them, I take a photo or two with my cell phone before I start picking up blocks to sew together. Makes it much easier to figure it out if I get confused about the order.

When making a t-shirt quilt, it is very helpful to take a picture of the t-shirt layout after I’ve decided how I want them laid out.
You're talents are just amazing, Jenny! The things you do with pre-cuts! Love them all! Thank you so much for coming into our lives for inspiration! God Bless You!

Wonderful use of half square triangles!! As always fabulous thanks Jenny and co.
This is perfect timing for a patchwork class I'm running on Thursday about using half square triangles. Thanks yet again x
So beautiful! After watching, I decided to make my mom a table topper from this pattern with charm squares.Turned out great! Mom is 88 years young and upholstering her dining room chairs! Thanks so much Jenny--you fill every Friday with inspiration!!!!

I love this quilt because of the high contrast it can create. it is also so simple and yet doesn't look like it; those are my favorite!
I love this quilt. It’s great for a charity quilt. I also love when you use your quiet machine.
To keep mine straight, once I do my lay out, I use small pieces of masking tape, and label rows from top to bottom, A, B, C, D, etc. And blocks from left to right, 1, 2, 3, etc. So block "C-2" would be 3rd row from top, 2nd block from left. This way if I can't finish putting top together at one time, no worries about getting things mixed up. And the masking tape peels off easy when you need it off, with no residue!
This is great! I have several layer cakes, and while I love the fabrics, I hate to waste the material as it's so lovely. Also, my grown children are all travelers (nomads?) and this is the perfect project for the next quilts for them. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thanks Jenny,,I've eyeballed this style quilt for a long time but It always makes my life SO MUCH EASIER to make a quilt that "Jenny has already showed me how to make"...:)))) Really cuts my time in half!! We LOVE YOU... Hugs, GrammaBabs

New to quilting, thanks so much Jenny for your help on these triangles. I was a bit confused and think I am going to make my new granddaughter a lovely quilt. I like the idea posted below of taking a picture to make sure placement stays correct.
I love that this quilt goes together so quickly. I believe it can look great in all style of fabrics and all size quilts as well. Thanks for all the great tutorials!

Wow Bernice! Way to go!
I have a design floor, too! How wonderful to be in great company…
I'm a fairly new quilter. I've discovered, if I sew off the edge while sewing around all 4 sides, then cut thru where the two sew lines come together, mine came out so much more square and needed less trimming. This REALLY helped when I used 2 different designers for the different fabrics, since the pre-cut 10" were not exactly the same size. (pick one designers fabric and sew your 1/4" seam according to that fabric)
Thank You. You always show the easy way to make a beautiful quilt.

Simple but really lovely! And the fabric is gorgeous. In order to be able to pick up all my blocks from the floor in one go (or else my cats will mess up the order) I used some flower pins and wrote numbers on them with a Sharpie. That way I know in which order I need to sew them and which way is up.

Thank you for another great tutorial... going to my list of projects.....
I had a tough time choosing a favorite but since I needed to I guess it would choose the "Half Square Triangle"; around the world. It is because of the versatility of this block. You can make a quilt with either your layer cakes or the charm packs. The different lay-outs and patterns are endless and it is so easy to do with quick satisfaction. Thank you Jenny and MSQC for your wonderful video's (I love them all) and products. You are my favorite place to get all my quilting needs. Thank you again.

Hi Jenny I love your shows and I am hooked on watching them over in the UK. I loved the way you where laying out this quilt , would you ever do a quilt like this but make it a bit more modern and contemporary making it more pronounced light and dark using just 2 fabrics either solids or plainish fabrics instead of it being scrappy. Many Thanks

Welcome to the quilting family Teresa!
Thank you for a great tutorial Missouri Star Quilt Company and Jenny! I'm currently working on my first, pieced quilt using this method. I used the floor to lay it out as well, taking photos after laying it out. Doing this, enabled me to see how the colours looked. Each time I rearranged pieces, I'd take another photo until I found the most pleasing (to ME anyway, lol) layout. Now I'm sewing the squares into rows, using the final photo as a guide☺️. I keep reviewing the video to make sure I'm following the steps in order. Jenny, you are so easy to follow and LISTEN to! Please keep up your wonderful tips and tricks😍

I love that half square triangle method and used it recently in what has become a really interesting quilt. My question though is is there a good rule of thumb for how big the new squares will turn out?
@mariaj3263
5 жыл бұрын
Not sure if you will ever see this, but I came back to this video to refresh my memory on how Jenny made fast HSTs, and I just calculated for myself the size. If you want a rule of thumb, it is to divide the seam length by 1.4 to get the new size square. So a 10" square will have a 9.5" seam (because you leave a quarter inch on each end), so divide that by 1.4 and you get 6.78", which she trims down to 6.5." If you want to go in reverse, multiply by 1.4, and then add the half inch seam allowance back. (Want 5" HSTs, then 5*1.4=7 and add the seam allowance so start with 7.5" squares (or a little bigger and trim down for exact blocks).
i have some beautiful batiks i want to use to do this pattern, but, do you think if i used brown instead of white it would look pretty?
thank you I have so been wanting to make one of them neat idea with the squares and getting four hst. do you starch really well first?

Today is January 10, 2018 .... my question is, I have a paisley 10" layer cake pack and wanting to use just four colors and white can this be done? thanks and I love watching your tutorials. Sometimes I have to watch them 3 or 4 times before it sinks in.
Is there any way to add the block issue that your tutorials match up to? I have all the Block magazines but have to spend so much time trying to find the written directions to go with the tutorial. Would be so helpful. Also, just LOVE the background music you use when you speed sew. Thank you for what you do.

Hi! I am wanting to make this beautiful quilt for me and my husbands bed. Any advice on how to adjust this to fit a queen size bed? Will using more blocks keep the integrity of the look but just enlarge it? Thank you! Love your videos!!
@MissouriQuiltCo
8 жыл бұрын
If you're wanting to make this quilt queen size dsailler, I would suggest using 2 10" square packs. Using more blocks should keep the integrity of this quilt and will make it larger!
I made this quilt but added my flair to it. I just cannot figure out how to send you a photo. I think it turned out perfect.
💞
How many of the light/dark square do you need? 20 light and 20dark? Also, how much fabric will be needed for backing? Definitely making this quilt!
How do you iron the seams when two diagonals come together? It looks like they go the same way? May I suggest a quick discussion on a video about what to do when seams go the same way. I love this quilt. Making it as a wedding gift.

Thanks for answering my query and letting me know to keep adding more rows to make it bigger. It's a lovely quilt.
I have a quilt design that calls for half square triangles sewn diagonally then cut diagonally and one vertical and one horizontal cut. If I use your "around the outside edge" system, will the triangles be the same size?
if i needed to make 4.5" triangles, what size squares would i start with?
I have a bunch of fat quarters I would love to use for this quilt. Do you think it would be ok to use 9" squares (as you get 4 out of a FQ instead of 2 10" squares) and end up with a slightly smaller quilt?
