When I woke this morning to your new tutorial I actually cried. Once asked what motivated me to quilt..it was this quilt Yesterday I started a scrappy four square quilt from all my leftover bindings and scraps. A longer proces then using all 2,5" strips but inspired by sa loving memory of cuddling under a 4 square quilt with my great grandmother every night we were together. After 65 years still my warmest memories. Thank you for today's tutorial. It brought back so many memories .. all symbolized by this quilt

One more tip is to use a shorter stitch on these so that they don't unravel once you cut them. I do something similar when I am using up scraps.

Tip: I cut my strips in half before sewing my strip sets together to give me more variety throughout the quilt. Thank you Jenny. Love your videos.

Thanks for sharing. I will keep that in mind.

I'm with you on the beauty of a simple checkered quilt. Thanks for sharing - and I appreciate the colors you used on that one on the wall...though all are beautiful (watching from Poland - where we're busy with refugees).

May God bless Poland, its kind hearted people, & all that escaped from the war in Ukraine. May the people of Ukraine be able to return someday to rebuild, & live in peace again.

I have a dozen quilt tops started, but I think I'll grab a jelly roll and work on this in sewing class today; perhaps a patriotic one for a Quilt of Valor....a "baker's dozen" is always good, LOL!

I really love a scrappy quilt without all the cutting. Thank you. I’ve learned so much watching your tutorials.

LOVE your tutorials!! you have SUCH AMAZING TIPS!!! I've got an OLD OLD OLD postage stamp quilt that has 4 x 4 squares mixed in with the 4x4 groups of POSTAGE STAMP sized groupings. It was done all by HAND!! OMG. Thank you for another WONDERFULLY helpful tutorial. I'm making my FIRST baby quilt and want to add in some of these LITTLE squares here n there.

Thank you Jenny I love watching MSQC tutorials. You have taught me so much

I just love a tutorial from Jenny. I’ve learned most of my quilting from her over the years and in my head and heart we are “old” friends. This is definitely going on my bucket list.

These colors are great together. I like this one because it's simple, easy, and BIG. I make a lot of Project Linus donation quilts, however, and their requirements are more like 40" x 60" for the little kids. Would you consider showing us a simple, easy, and small quilt? Thanks for all you do. You make the world a happier place.

20 strips wide by 30 squares long will get you to those dimensions without borders. Subtract a few rows and squares if you want to add borders. 2” finished squares make for easy math. 😃

Thank you Jenny! What a beautiful quilt. You just took the fear out of making this by showing the easy way to make it. I have a Jelly Roll I love but didn’t know what I was going to do with it. Now I do. 🌸💖🌸

Love the simplicity. Reminds me of my grandmother’s quilts ❤️

Reminds me of the good ole days...didnt think anyone was quilting anymore...good to see this...makes me happy.

It was a really helpful tip to put the skinnyist strip on top and center it and use that as your sewing guideline so that the squares will end up the same size and the seams will line up! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Once you have a bunch of 2.5" squares, sew them onto 2.5" wide strips of background. When you have a bunch of strips with squares, cut them into pairs. Then just sew a bunch together, and soon you'll have a bunch of big squares. This would be great way of "warming up" before you start sewing your projects.

Great idea. Started doing my scraps that way today and they have come together so fast. Thank you. I was sewing squares to squares. Duh.

Always look forward to Friday mornings to find a new quilt tutorial from you! Have made so many of your quilts during lockdown. Just about to start no 48. Thank you.

Ruth Schwartz I went to an estate sale several years ago and bought fabric and started pieces. There was a large box of individual 2 inch squares. The person had started sewing them together with no contrasting fabric in between the squares. I'm planning on taking these apart and make 4 square or nine square blocks. There are a lot of them. Also in this same box there were blocks for a grandma flower garden quilt. These were all hand sewn and very small and neat stitches All most afraid to start putting them together. I'll get up my nerve one of these days. Really like this video as it has inspired me to put these squares together now.

I need more simple quilts. ❤

Love how easy, makes for a fast & pretty quilt.

I love an easy quilt like this. It's good to be able to rest your brain now & then. I love that you can make this in any size. Thanks for another great tutorial. ❤

Love this quilt and that it can be made with strip sets or scraps. Thanks Jenny!

This is great. My sisters and I found a box of cut squares from my moms stash. This would be great to do with it.

"Just squares" can be wonderfully beautiful, thank you for this tutorial."

Love this quilt! I don’t know how you come up with new ideas every week but I sure am delighted that you do!

As they say It takes a town to raise a quilt company! 😀💖

The best part of these particular 2 1/2” fabric strips Jenny is using is no pinked edges.

I love that quilt, the blues are so pretty. Great tutorial.

This is a refreshing change for me. I love making all of the different designs to be found but like You said after a while it is good to get a break, especially when the matters of life have been busy/stressful. Patterns like these remind me of the simple but beautiful quilts that drew me to want to learn in the first place. Thank You :)

I love how it looks so much harder than it is! Beautiful!!

I have also been cutting my scraps into 2-1/2 squares. . I have a whole show box size tote already done. It's going to take forever to sew all those squares together. But looks fun! Thank you for the awesome tutorial!!

I need this project. I want to do some blocks that don't require a lot of thinking, just sewing. This is perfect. I think by the end of the day I will have a really cute quilt top!!! Thank you!!!

I pulled together alot of my scraps and made a quilt since I tend to buy similar fabric it all went together! Amazing

I love how easy,& simple this is. When I put this on my bed it will be the focal point, but all the other item's in the room will be noticed as well. This will make my wall hangings pop out too.

I loved your tip about the pinked edges and comparing the width of the strips. Those pinked edges tripped me up more than once when I was a beginner.

I love this quilt. For some reason it reminded me of my grandmother. Maybe she had a quilt similar to this. I want to make one. Thanks for sharing your ideas and tutorials with us. I love watching them all. With all the fabrics I've been ordering from MSQC I have to have the materials needed for this project. Thanks again. I just love your site.

I’m going to make this quilt-as-you-go for my King size bed. I have plenty of jelly rolls. Love this!

Thank you. I just love that quilt. I’ve been into the 25 patch blocks but I am absolutely in love with how fast and easy this quilt goes together. On my list!!! I just put together the butterfly blocks from a long time ago MSQC tutorial and used beautiful island batiks in purples, blues, and pinks. Turning out so pretty. Batiks are becoming my favorite to work with. Thank you for all of these tutorials. 💙🤍🤎 If I could just work as quickly as you all do. 😉

Thank you Jenny! I make donation quilts for our church ( Swedish Lutherans) and I always have strips left over! This will help make use of those into a beautiful quilt for someone in need! Thank you again! ❤️

INSPIRATION!!! I have a whole bin of 2.5 inch strips!

Lovely idea. Simple but fantastic. Love the colour range.

Wow so easy and so pretty! Your explanation on how to accommodate serrated and straight-edged strips is a game changer! I once made a king quilt with several different strip manufacturers’ sets and some cut strips from yardage, and wish I had figured that out then!

I love this quilt! Years ago, a friend taught me that blue & brown go together beautifully. Your trip proves it!

Just beautiful! Thanks for showing us how to make to make the quilt with strips! I would never sew all those little squares together. I don’t have the patience! 😊❤️

No, it's fun, as you're starting with two very big piles and are ending up with two little piles which lead to a great quilt top. Only the first two steps are annoying. But the method here is great, too, as I have lots of little fabric pieces that can be cut in stripes.

Oh I love the simplicity of this quilt. Thank you for all the tips you share. They are very helpful!

This is such a nice quilt. It's not hard and sewing the top would be almost meditative which is just great for calming frazzled nerves. I love the colors, too, just perfect for summer and fall.

I wish I could match my fabric pieces so easily. I’m always off. I love this one. My first MSQC quilt was Sticks and Stones. It’s just beautiful on my guest room bed.

Oh this tutorial is fantastic. I am in the process of making one. You make everything better.

I have totes full of my scraps in all workable sizes. Have made 3 of the quilt tops you are showing..and started on a 4th. Makes for quick, relaxing, no thinking sewing!

Nice and simple: A Classic beauty! Thank you for this tutorial, Jenny & MSQC team. I find sewing WOF length strips sometimes rather unwieldy. Knowing each full jelly roll strip gives you 16 squares, half a strip will produce 8. I think I’ll cut my strips at the fold and produce double the number of half-as-wide strip sets. It’ll give me more variety of fabric placement and be a bit easier for me to handle. (Also good for practicing seam-matching, excellent for beginners!).

I, too, appreciate the simplicity of this pattern! Thank you so much for sharing this! Now it’s on my to do list. 😃🌷🌸

Jenny, you are the best. You always inspire me. I am going to do this project soon. Thank you for your great tutorials and ideas.

Great looking quilt!

I love this quilt so much, it reminds me of my Great Grandmother! Thank You, Jenny!!! ♥

I love that too! I love symmetry♥️

Love, love, love it!

Great idea!! Love the strip set idea.

Super great tip to pre check your strip widths for a guide on how to sew together ❤

Me too Jenny.... simple and fast is THE BEST!!! Thanks GF... Hugs, GB

What a great quilt to use up that jelly roll or a whole lot of scraps! I always have leftover binding strips. Eventually they would work but I’d have to sew a lot more quilts to have 42 binding strips LOL! Thanks a bunch for the great video!

Hello this is so beautiful. You've given me another ideal for me making quilts of valor. You're my inspiration.

Just love this quilt--I think it is so calming, too;)) I am now sewing up leftover mini charms for a smaller version, but my next "square project" will definitely use this jelly roll method--thanks so much for a super tutorial.. hugs, a big fan Julierose

I love this quilt! I have been working on a similar project except the squares are one inch. I sewed together one and a half inch strips and then cut them into an inch and a half. Then I sewed a block with all the same colors together. Each block had 144 squares. I sewed alternate colored sashing on each square and it turned out fabulous! I gave it away to one of my kids. I wish I could send you a picture. I also love that you are showing this side of you as a person who uses it all up. I knew that side of you existed, but you were keeping it for your own use! Thank you so much for sharing. This is the quilt I will make for Christmas for my five kids this year!

THANK YOU SEW 😍 MUCH! I’ve been trying to figure out a quick and easy way to do a quilt like this! This really made my day! Thank you for sharing.

I’ve always wanted to make one like this 💕💕

Love the simple beauty of the squares. 🇬🇧

You are an AMAZING teacher, Jenny. I have been binge-watching your videos for a little while now and have learned SO MUCH!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge so willingly❣️

Great colour combination for this quilt.♥️🇦🇺

Another great quilt!

I love the quilt. I am making one with all scraps. (2inch squares) in some spots I will use some left over HST. I think that will look fun.

Loved this tutorial, I am an old quilter in every way......lol Sometimes we forget the beauty of the simple blocks.........thanks for the hints to those new to this pattern on starting always with a Solid or always with the print in upper left corner.

Thanks for sharing this with us. This is close to a quilt my Grandmother made for me when I got married. I want to make replicas for each of my grandchildren in honor of Gram. This technique will make it so much easier. Also I appreciate every little hint to make sewing easier. Thanks Jenny!

Wow! Thank you! I have been searching for an easy way to make an old fashioned quilt. Love it!!❤️

Love this quilt...........reminds me of my Mom and Grandma............Thanks so much Jenny♥

Love it ❤️

Ms Jenny, it is because of you that I discovered quilting. It is a wonderful journey. Life had been getting the best of me and for a time, I lost my motivation to quilt. Then you put out this simple, classic tutorial and my motivation returned! This one is just what I needed. So thank you so much for continuing to share your time and talent!

Very enjoyable tutorial and a beautiful and fun method. I inherited a huge box of over 1200 2" squares that had been cut and saved for a cathedral window quilt. I do not have the patience (or the expected lifespan!) to make that large of a cathedral window quilt, but I decided to make a postage stamp quilt (another name for this type of quilt). I did not use background squares in between, but just sewed all of my little squares together. I added some from my own fabric scraps and ended up with a nice bright scrappy quilt for the foot of the bed when you need a little extra cover. Very fun! (And my 2" squares were not all really 2", so the seams did not all meet - but that was fine with me, it is a little higglety-pigglety, but still very fun.)

What a great summer quilt! Refreshing colors and so lively! Thanks for the tip for sewing strips together! Thanks!

I was so happy to see this pattern, we're in the middle of moving, packing etc. All of my sewing machines and cutting tools are packed....I have a travel sewing machine one mat and rotary cutter...we move. in three weeks - hoping to have the top done before we move. sewing in between work and packing...so happy

Thanks for the tip about precuts.

This is great info on checking the size of the strips before sewing together! Thanks 😊

Love this quilt idea. Thank you

I just cut a bazillion 2.5" squares, this is perfect.

Love! Love this pattern! I made this in April 2022 and it was a wonderful quilt top. Waiting on the quilting to be done.

What a fun quilt! My goal this year is to work thru my stash. I have 2 jelly rolls in mind right now!

This is a great quilt idea Jenny. Thank you for sharing.

Simple & beautiful! TY Jeane Doan, you make quilting a pleasure.

Love 💘 this quilt. You are so inspiring Jenny! Can't wait to make it.

I just l❤ve this .... simple is always best! I also love Jenny and how she makes it so easy. Another great presentation! Thank you so much! BTW your book is amazing

I have lots of odd leftover 2 1/2 strips from previous quilts. I am going to choose a background colour and use them up, as they are pushing the lid off the container I store them in! Great scrappy quilt

I love this…looks simple but lots of work too. Thanks for this Jenny. Xx🇦🇺

This is a beautiful, scrappy quilt...thank you.

Another simple way to make an impressive quilt. Love this! ❤️

I LOVE this quilt, Jenny! I plan to make it too! Thank you! 😍

Thanks for the special tip about the little pinked tips peeking out!

Soo pretty. I'm a newbie and love Jenny's tutorials. An issue I have is I never know how to downsize from her examples or any pattern, and not sure how much to purchase! Fabric isn't to cheap usually. Thank you for these tutorials, they really help me. ☺

Thanks Jenny, this is my favorite style of quilt also, soothing. I’ll be making this one.

I love this quilt

Great idea! I have a LOT of the 2.5" strips left from other projects. I think I need to make one of these quilts. Or a few more!

Beautiful quilt Jenny! Thank you for always making what we love to do, easier and more enjoyable. ❤

Awesome way to use up scraps! Beautiful quilt. Thanks for the video

I love this quilt!!! I can’t wait to make it!

Thanks Jenny a fun scrap project as you say, also fast with a jelly roll yours is very pretty
