loved this tutorial. We all need a little humor, and you sure touched my funny bone today. Thank you Jenny, and your extra arms. Have a blessed week end
Ms. Jenny, I loved your enthusiasm in the video and have actually stopped by your shop several year ago. One comment that would be helpful for people like me who are novice and watch these videos to learn, is to explain or confirm how many strips a roll should contain or that your will need for the roll. I have bought several rolls from different locations and I struggled to confirm I had enough strips because you (nor any other professionals I watched) stated exactly how many strips should be in your roll. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely hysterical!! A great video made just that much better with an extra pair of arms!! I can't get enough. Jenny, you truly are a one-of-a-wonderful-kind!! I'm always tickled when I see you've uploaded a new video but it's such a bonus when you share your light heartedness.
Oh, my word!! Love your extra arms. This video is too funny. I will definitely be watching this one over and over again. I booked mark this one. Thank you Jenny and staff for making this even more fun than it already is.
Absolutely hysterical. Can't wait to make this quilt. I think you should offer the second set of arms in your quilters daily deal sometime. I think they'd be a big seller lol.
This is the first tutorial I watched with Jenny. I fell in love, with her & MSQC! I had several strokes in March 2015, we had to move in with my parents, and have yet to set my craft area up. BUT I am planning on doing a jelly roll as my next quilt, my left hand hasn't totally recovered, I'm confident I can manage this quilt though. Thanks for being my quilt companion during my recovery & inspiring me to not give up.
You really make me happy!! I love your tutorials. thanks so much for making it not seem like it's impossible to quilt! I can't wait to buy my first jelly roll and get started.
I didn't even know I wanted that cookie LOL!! So cute! Love your nails and your videos you are a special part of my quilt learning experience thanks Jenny and Arms! :)
Oh my quilt math!!! I want to make a 66x86 (twin size), that can include boarder(s). So of course I am lost on how many strips I will need before I put on any boarder(s). The 66 inches is the width (after boarder(s)), so say 60 inches before any boards x number of rows (?) not sure how I would know how many rows. So I can't get the number I would divide by 40 inch strip. In your example of 80" wide, how did you come up with 48 rows? Its not 80/2.5 (width of a strip) as that would be 32. Then there is the problem with getting the 86" length, my guess here is that I would stop sewing the strips together once they are long enough - so 1st sew is 800, then 400, 200, 100 and I couldn't fold and sew again as it would be too short at 50 inches. So I end up with 100 inches and would need to trim that down to 80 inches so I can add my boards. Do I at least have that part correct? I am as you can see very confused and would very much appreciate help with the math of this twin size quilt. Thank you.
Hi blessings I love you tutorial and you inspired me to do my 1st small quilt I love y you in can made 1 tutorial of the trick card thank and God continue blessings you
Of course the answer is on google and no math needed - here is a chart, hope this helps others who like me was worried about my quilt math. Quilt size # of jelly rolls Size in inches (approx.) Crib or baby quilt 1/2 package or 20 strips 32 1/2 by 50 Lap 1 package or 40 strips 50 by 64 Twin 1 1/2 packages or 70 strips 64 by 88 Queen 3 packages or 105 strips 86 by 93 King 3 packages or 120 strips 104 by 93 all strips are the standard size of 40 inches
I am so excited!! I am going to try this. I'm sure it can't go wrong, as with other stuff I have tried. (my errors). Jenny you take the cake!! SO funny! Love all your tutorials!!
Adorable video! BUT...when I cut the white strips at 2 1/2" x 4" it left me needing to take a 1/2" seam instead of a 1/4" seam when stitching all the strips together. Luckily, I spotted this right away, after only sewing 2 triangles onto the strips, so I removed the two, then I re-cut the white triangle pieces at 2 1/2" x 4 1/2" and it worked perfectly. What's with that? Has anyone else actually tried this pattern yet and if so, did you have a similar issue?
I just found this out as I was trying to sew them. I will have to re-cut my rectangles. UGH!, but I think it will be worth the extra effort and fabric.
That has to be my absolute favourite yet! Couldn't stop laughing 😂 Really wish I lived close to you as I think I would live in your beautiful shop. Thank you Jenni for more fun and learning xx
It doesn’t work with 4x2.5” rectangles. After I cut all of mine and started to put it together, I found it rye wrong size. 4.5 x 2.5” is the correct size. I enjoy your videos Jenny.
Funny!!! How are they not twisted when you start putting them together? What was with cutting off 18"? How do some triangles point up and some down? I love this pattern! Can you do a remake?
the triangle insert really needs to be cut 4 1/2 X 2 1/2 inches, not 4 X 2 1/2. Otherwise, it comes out with the tip 3/8 of and inch away, sewn 1/8" in from the strip joining seam. Otherwise, great tutorial as always.
Wouldn't the triangle fall short of the 2" height? I would think the white rectangle should be cut to 4 1/2" x 2 1/2", to get the flying geese triangle to 2 x 4 in.
I cut all my rectangles 2.5 by 4 as stated in this video and they did not work out. I pulled out the paper pattern that I ordered last year and it states 4.5 x 2.5. Just a word of caution. I suppose I can use the 4 inch rectangles somewhere, but would rather not have wasted fabric. I could make the square blocks, but I love the look of the rectangles. I am sure it is an oversight and I appreciate all your wonderful video tutorials.
I would like to know how I should sort my strips if I dont have a jellyroll should I go from color to color like all green, then yellow, orange, red, pink, purple, blue and so on? Or just winging it? If I dont want the same color to match to much or is it best to just stick to one color if Im using my own strips?
HI I'M CINDI D. AND I MADE A JELLY ROLL DIAMONDS IN A BATIK (LIGHTER COLORED) AND A 6 INCH SPACER. THE SPACER WAS TAN CUT AT THE SAME ANGLE FOR BOTH SIDES. I CAN'T SHOW IT TO YOU YET BECAUSE OF MY BEING COMPUTER DUMB AND I HAVE A CHEAP COMPUTER! IT REALLY LOOKS NICE! I JUST THOUGHT THAT NOW THAT I CAN CHAT, I CAN TELL YOU ABOUT IT! I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS A GOOD IDEA, BUT THOUGHT I WOULD TRY. THANKS FOR ALL YOUR GREAT TEACHING YOU TUBE EDUCATION!
To the Doan Family: Just read the fabulous article on your family business in the Wall Street Journal (Jan. 2024)! Hurray!!! Congratulations again for all your amazing successes and thank you for all that you do for your employees and customers. Hope to visit one day!!! I'm from California too, still here, but originally came from Michigan. Now I know what Sarah meant by "having lots of help"! Glad to know!!!
Hilarious! Just love you so much! I need arms like that! ha ha ha..... thanks for all of the WONDERFUL tutorials! You're my favorite quilting channel!!! :)
YayJenny and MSQC!! Thanks for always brightening my days with your wonderful tutorials. What a blessing you are to all of your groupies out here. Have enjoyed your Craftsy class and Block magazine. It really is more than a magazine, more like a book. Your stories bring me right to the time and place you are writing about. Thanks for sharing, you make us feel like part of your wonderful family. Hugs and love, Nancy
Jenny you just made my day! An extra set of arms - how wonderful! I was laughing so hard I was crying! I love all your fun and beautiful ideas and can't wait to do a Jelly Roll race quilt myself. Love the tutorial - as usual! Keep up the excellent work! Thanks for all you and your staff do for us! It is greatly appreciated!! Keep 'em coming!! Have a wonderful holiday weekend!
Jenny, Since I am very much a beginner what should my stitch length be set at. My Singer Fashionista manual setting is 0.5 - 4.8, 1.5 - 3.0 and 2.0 - 4.0. Auto shows 2.5. I think my DH should of bought me a simple machine to many feet and bells and whistles for this straight out of the gate beginner :)
Love You Jenny! You are an awesome teacher, and what a funny video. Made me laugh outloud (while my husband sleeps and I am listening to this with my headphones) He woke up and said "WHAT" rolled over and went back to sleep, I went in the bathroom and finished my laugh!
yes cute and funny, and love Jenny's tutorials. However, do wish some questions people ask about the sewing problems they have would be answered on this. See below, re: do we cut the first 18 inches like on the other jelly rolls, and is the measurements right on 2 1/2 by 4 on the triangle with 1/4 inch seam. Thank you.
How do I make this a larger (king) size - I read the directions for changing the size in Jelly Roll 1. Do I follow those directions or just make a longer strip to begin with? 3 jelly rolls and 3 yards of white? Love your tutorials..they are informative and funny. Nancy S.
One thing that would be really helpful would be if you guys would post in the description the list of materials needed (how many triangle 2.5" strips, etc. That would make it really easy to purchase the materials. :) Love your tutorials. I have now made the original Jelly Roll Race quilt and just finished the Zig Zag Charm pack table runner.
Here's a link to the pattern with all of the information needed. So sorry about that, this is an older tutorial. We now include that information in new tutorials. :) www.missouriquiltco.com/shop/detail/27681/msqc/-/jelly-roll-race-3-quilt-pattern-by-msqc
Iam laughing at your extra set of arms...what a riot! You make sewing with Jenny so much fun! Love your humor and tutorials! Thank you for keeping life in Stitches!!!
I love all the Missouri Star videos, but this one is particularly entertaining! I'm new to quilting, but binge watching Jenny o. RU-vid has really helped me learn fast!
Only if I could have a second pair of hands, I'd get so much more done so long as they took orders from me and didn't try to do things their own way. Thanks for a laugh, Jenny. I especially enjoyed your giggle at the end. Another way to turn a simple jelly roll quilt top into something different.
