Oh Miss Jenny this is a truly joyous quilt! This fabric is just perfect for it as well. 15 years... Oh my, I wish I had words to tell you how many magical moments have come my way because you fed your passion for textiles!! I've spent hours with you and you had no idea... wait that sounds a bit creepy lol... but nonetheless so true. I'm not a very good quilter as quilters go... but I do love it! You've taught me so much along the way... Inspired me... Encouraged me... The best miracle of all is the closeness that my only sister and I have grown over our shared love of quilting. You see... my baby sister has breast cancer. She's fought for a long long time, and discovered quilting somewhere in the midst of that fight. Even when she is at her lowest moment, she just devours the videos and it gives her joy. I am the proud recipient of some of her quilts, and they are priceless treasures to me. We once had dreams of visiting you in Missouri (a state rich in our familial history lol), but travel now isn't possible, but we still dream of it. She doesn't sew as much these days, but that doesn't stop our sharing of pattern ideas and color way suggestions. Miss Jenny, and indeed all of you there just cannot know what wonderful memories you've helped us build. Congratulations on 15 years. I'm so totally thrilled for you! What an amazing story you have, and how your work has intertwined lives and friendships with such a unique bond. Thank you all. Blessings and love from both sister and me!
What a kind comment and beautiful sharing. I'm adding you and your sister to my prayer list. May our Lord enfold you and bring peace in the midst of your suffering 🙏 what a sweet person you are! Debby from NJ
@@veroburkellcjeffburke3973 thank you so very much. I am so touched that you would honor us by lifting us in prayer. I believe that praying for someone is a gift you give... and I treasure it so much. There is no finer gift to give than to pray for someone. It's a moment of pure caring and it's priceless. Thank you so very much.
I'm so sorry 😔 to hear of your sisters cancer. My mother passed away 4 years ago, because of cancer. She lived a long full life of 92 years. Memories are so precious. I'm happy to hear that your sister, & you have bonded in watching Missouri Star Quilting Company ✴️ sewing classes, from Jenny Doan. No one, and nothing can take away, all those fond memories you, & your sister shared. The both of you are blessed to have each other. With love, and prayers 🙏😇 Jen from Maine 🦞🐳⛵
Agree, I thought it there were two squares: a 10 inch square snowballed with the accent piece and a 9-patch with the print in the center and background all around, all set on point. My jaw dropped when Jenny started with the white to snowball the 9 1/2 inch square. And this would be fabulous with Kaffe prints.
I have been watching you for around a year and this is exactly what I’ve been looking for.. I wanted a pattern that I could use my children’s dresses.. without cutting them into smaller pieces.. so now that’s three new quilts I’m going to make.. absolutely gorgeous.. thank you 🥰🥰🥰
I was just studying the quilt behind you and thought it you snowball big patterned squares with black and then did a square in a square with a white border the same size; set them on point and you have the same look with less waste. Beautiful quilt.
Yes and no need to cut down those 10" squares AND your dark 'snowball' would match the block instead of looking like you did something wrong so it does not match the edge evenly! As fabric keeps getting more and more expensive, I try to find ways to make things that doesn't waste fabric.
I can't wait to show this to my granddaughter. She saw a quilt in a magazine that just look like 10in squares with snowball to corners and made a quilt like that. I think she will love this with all the extras.
Wow! Looking at that gorgeous quilt I thought, she snowballed the large print square with navy, made the other block by adding white strips to two opposite sides and then longer strips to the two regaining sides of the smaller print block. Now, I'm trying to wrap my head around this!! It's beautiful!!
Knocked this one out of the park with big prints ... I have SO many layer cakes that I love that I just can't bear to cut up ... this might be an answer to a prayer!!
I watch a lot of quilting tutorials, but I love Missouri Star's the most because the easiest way to achieve great results are always demonstrated. It makes me confident that I can get great results without losing my mind trying to get even the smallest of blocks. While small blocks are beautiful, working with tiny pieces of fabric can prove difficult for those of us with arthritic hands or neuropathy. Missouri Star patterns never have me cutting up a 2 1/2" square into 4 pieces to then pair with another 4 pieces that are the same size, which can result in various sizes of hourglasses... Maybe purists want to make small blocks in this manner; however, I appreciate being able to get consistent results working with larger pieces that are cut after some preliminary sewing is done. Thank you for consistently looking for easier ways to achieve great results. 😍
Hi from Alabama! This is another interestting quilt block. I will have to put this one on hold until I get the other 14 quilts made and quilted for this years Christmas gifts. Very interesting block!!
Your tutorials are amazing. Even the beginning tutorials are! You speak to us, explain it in plain English, and make something that looks so difficult, so easy! I’ve seen fifteen years of tutorials. One thing you don’t do, is QAYG, except for Daisy & Grace. I can’t afford to get them professionally quilted, so I have to adapt the patterns to QAYG. I love this pattern and will be getting it. Thank you Doan family!
Watched the video a second time, and got a better grip on how it went together. It is a real cool layout. While not really hard to do, the many steps makes me think I may have a hard time keeping it all straight in my head. Not sure I will try this one, but I really do like it. ❤
Pretty quilt. Can easily be made only snowballing big square. Think that's how I'll do it. Probably the first time in the years I've been watching that I thought I could see a way that made more sense to
You hit it out of the park again, Jenny! I love these fabrics. They are so pretty and so it is great that they are not all chopped up into to tiny pieces. Thanks for the great tutorial!
Beautiful quilt! Jenny, I was not expecting these blocks to be put together this way! Surprise! Surprise! You did it again! I love, love, love your tutorials!…and everything Missouri Star!
This would make a fun quilt for a child, using bright colors 10" squares and fun animal print for the corner stones. Thanks for the wonderful tutorial.
Sweet Jenny, you look tired. I love the attached sashings on the block. I have often found fabric I couldn’t bear to cut up and they languish way too long in my stash. Thank You for this great quilt!❤
I love your tutorials and you have literally taught me how to quilt… But on this one, I’m afraid you’ve lost me…. Beautiful quilt, tho! Love you, Jenny!
This design is beautiful. The way you put it together with the sashing already attached to the block is simple and brilliant! Can not wait to try this!
I'm making scrap blocks, not knowing what I was going to do with them. This might be a good way to put them together. Thanks for the inspiration, as always!
i had to see if i could get it ... to not loose all these points....GOT IT...cut ALL your dogear square 2 3/4 in...you will not loose your points... your dogears will slightly over lap... so with the 5 in square... do opposite corners first then the others.. you will not loose 1 point... follow my hint below for perfect dog eared corners... i will make this quilt... LOVE IT
I make mostly small quilts, so I may see if I can adapt this to a charm pack - I have so many of those from being in a club early in my learning to quilt. Like the person said before me, it went together different than I thought it would and I love it!
I just saw a quilt made using this pattern but it looks different and now watching this tutorial I realize what she did was used the dark accent to snowball the large 10" in step one so when it's done it is dark accent on all sides, not white on the one side. It is beautiful that way.
Only recently found your videos, been binge watching, especially like triple plays. Have you 3 done one on what to do with left over half-square triangles?
The quilt is beautiful but the construction method-just why? Why wouldn’t you make the print blocks with navy snowball corners and then sew a second block with white strips around a print center? Because no offense but it drives me nuts where the white doesn’t meet up exactly. So much easier to match up the other way. Fewer seams too.
Love this quilt, and love your tutorials, but this one was playing with my brain. And every time I thought I understood. I got confused. Maybe if I watch a few more times it will come together in my head. Most times I get it the first time. Maybe it’s still to early in the morning. But loved the quilt anyway.
