REPLAY: Make a String Quilt with Jenny & Misty 

Love this quilt design. My father, who is an artist, told me a long time ago to always add white or black, if you have a lot of color. This helps your eyes rest.

I like you two working together with your son in the background! It's so lively!! Family time!!

FYI......We NEVER get tired of watching Jenny brainstorm!! 😘💜💜

My grandmother would make string blocks and had a bushel basket full of them at all times. She always left the paper on until it was time to sew them together that way they didn't stretch out of shape. Some of those blocks might not make it into a quilt for years but with the paper they didn't even need to be pressed, they were ready to go! String quilts are so fun to make and a great way to use up our bits and scraps.

Really enjoyed watching this! Not sure anyone could get tired of Jenny, especially if they're here watching. I was chanting 'Cut it up! Cut it up!'

Thank you so much Jenny & Misty. That quilt is really really stunning and gorgeous and it looks 3D. I really really love 💕 all the possibilities this strip quilting has. That block you put with the white solid, made a whole new block!!!!!!! absolutely adorable xxx Mags

My husband died a year ago on February 7, 2020. What with the lock downs of businesses and such, I still have all his clothes. I have been toying with the idea of creating a Memory Quilt of his shirts, slacks and ties. This quilt idea plus the Solar Flare idea would give a quilt an Xs and Os vibe, which would reflect the love we had for each other.

Love this! When I was a child, pulling the paper off for my grandmother was my favorite part.

I'm going to make this with black down the center and do Fall colors! You are always such an inspiration!❤️🍂🍁🍃

I'm so excited about the string quilt..!!...I'm in Ontario and you have basically taught me all I know ...even being a new quilter, I have never felt intimidated...you have a great way of explaining everything step by step....thank you so much

Watching from Texas! Love you Jenny. You have taught me so much!

I was a single mom of 4 - our motto (back in the 80’s) was eat it up, wear it out - make it do or go without. My children recited it all the time. 😉

I love this "live" session, even though I watched it later. Thanks for "going mobile" and showing us a close-up, so I could see that even the white "centre" lines don't always match up exactly. From far away, they look like they match. "Get your nose out of your quilt" is always a good motto. It's gorgeous the improv way that it is... and that's what we want for our quilts! (although if you want it to really match at the white centres/corners, you can fold and press the initial white strip in half lengthwise, and ensure the fold line is right in the corner of the paper). Thanks MSQC team for a great video tutorial !! ~Diana from Toronto

I really enjoyed this video and I would LOVE to see you make a crumb quilt live! Thanks for the video and the fun interaction 🙂

Jenny, I love the colours you're wearing today. They look really good on you!

I love watching you. I’ve learned so much. This is going to be one of my next creations.

I just watched this. I really don't think anyone could get tired of you - you're all sunshine!

I love this quilt, thinking it would be a great first quilt for my granddaughters to make with me. Thank you for the video.

So happy to have this one!! I just discovered string quilting!! I'm glad you showed the one with all the colors because I don't have enough of a stash to make one with all the same colors.

Love, love, love your tutorials, Jenny! You make everything fun and do-able.

Jenny! I love watching you and learning from you! One day I decided to make a baby quilt and watched your how to make a baby quilt videos which I believe there were four and I made my first quilt. You make me happy!

Jenny, you are making me smile. Love your tutorials. This is such a great quilt idea.

This is the first quilt I learned to make and it is STILL my favorite after all of these years!

I love this video! The learning about quilting is great, but hearing about the children, grands, in-laws...getting to know your team has been a beautiful bonus!

Thank you ladies. I am new to this so I am soaking up everything I can get. Your tutorial makes it look like fun. Can’t wait to get started

I love this method. I have always wondered about what the best paper would be. When ever I have a question about how to do a quilt this is my go to site. I love you all and Jenny is awesome and thank goodness she figures out how to make it easy. My grandmother taught me how to do cross stitch embroidery quilts but I taught my self how to do piece quilting.

Jenny you are still the best at making everything seem so simple, thank you and your daughter is adorable!!

Watching from Ontario Canada. Absolutely awesome. I have learned soooooo much from your shows. I get excited when your emails pop up. Thank you so much. Stay safe and well.

A big YAY for the men at MSQC! Thanks to everyone there, love your tutorials.

I really love watching your videos. You're a great teacher and so inspiring!!

This will have to be one of my favorites ... especially the ending where you show the different patterns that can be made with these blocks. Also, I saw where the question was ask about using the same center strip, but never heard a clear answer ... If you use the same center strip, that is what makes your squares, 'larger outlined squares' and puts them 'on point'. As always, you two make a great pair ... loved this tutorial!

I bought this paper from you years ago and then I forgot what to use for , still have it now I will do it for sure. 😄😄

from Texas! - Loving this fun, creative sewing and conversation with Jenny and Misty : ) more please . . . .

When was in the states last year and bought papers and came home and made the quilt fabulous just have to put it together will love watching you again

I stay stitch round the edge within the seam allowance before removing the papers. This means that the bias isn’t an issue when handling the blocks. Good call about using a unifying strip down the middle.

As always I enjoy your tutorials. Never get tired of watching you make quilting enjoyable. Thank you.

Great job! Possibilities are endless. Love this one!

The very first quilt i made was a strong quilt. I use news paper for the foundation. I was a dress maker and all the scraps i had were polyester. That was in the 70's and that quilt is still in use. It is indestructible!

Jenny just love the time you give us all. I've made so many of your quilt patterns that I'm hooked on being in my sewing room. Thank you for incouragement

Utah. Love your tutorials, Jenny! You have taught me so much!

Thank You for another Nice tutorial. Love the colors in the quilt, Watching from Western, Canada

Love Jenny and company. Enjoy videos and learning new techniques I'm in Hot Springs Arkansas

Love everything about Missouri star quilt company! Jenny you are always fun to watch!Ive learned so much!

I just joined and I’m thrilled with the amount of information you provide. I have already seen new techniques I want to try!! Thank you.

Love, love your videos..so helpful and inspiring...I’m from Sudbury, Ontario Canada...

Love watching your tutorials! Informative and inspiring!!

We love everything you do. Please keep doing the "great" things that only you can do.

Those scissors are amazing. I bought several pairs from MSQC including one of those black ones. Very nice control and cuts like butter. Thanks for always stocking the best of the best tools

I love you Maam Jenny I'm a big fan of yours, I love watching all your Tutorials, I'm new beginner of Quilting.

Hello from Albuquerque, I LOVE string quilting, I use all my scraps for them and I also have very slim strips sewn together to make larger pieces of fabric to make blocks with later. Some are just any colors, some are color co-ordinated,

Glad I found this older video making the string quilt. Earlier tonight I watched a video of Jenny quilting in her RV. This finished quilt was on the bed. Looked fabulous. Great job.🇦🇺👍

after sometime i watch your video. I enjoyed your new creation and your nice sweet personality with smiling face. May god bless you for make us our lives enjoyable with your teaching

I love all the ideas.. so glad I found you on here!

Love, from Toronto. Jenny, You`re A M A Z I N G!

Jenny I've just discovered your videos and love them. You are make things seem very possible - thank you so much

Love watching your tutorials, Jenny you are awesome.

Cant wait to see Jenny and Misty show me how to do the String Quilt. Karen from California

Love those couple of moments of human REALITY (frowns of impatience?) before the "movie smiles and exuberance" were pasted on. (lol!!)

This is so much fun you guys. And I love the foundation paper method for a stash buster project! Thank you!

I love the colors of the quilt. Beautiful job everyone. Love your show.

We never want her to stop talking or showing us her talents!

Love your tutorials. Please can you do one on the the wedding ring quilt xx

Just found your channel…. ‘Twas a warm and enjoyable video session! ❤ loved the warmth you exude. Beautiful family!

Love learning about this type of quilting... newbie at quilts and learning so much from all your tutorials! Thank you!!!

Hello Jinny and Misty . You make things look so easy. You have helped me so much this past year. I lost my husband a year ago and I was lost and did not know which way to turn. Just wanted to let you know you are truly a Blessing.

Love this tutorial Jenny. Can’t wait to give it a whirl when I finish my many other quilt projects lol

Love you ladies. I'm watching from eastern TN & it's snowing today! Unusual for us.

I've watched this vid a number of times, and it never gets old. String quilts are so much fun to make! And, as we all know, quilters spend a lot of $$$ on fabric. Make your scraps work for you, and you don't have to start with a ten inch foundation paper square. Make them any size you want. They don't have to be masterpieces; they make great utility quilts. I've got a TON of scraps; time for me to get busy. MSQC ROCKS! ❤

Hello from Brainerd, MN! So enjoyed my MSQC retreat in December!!

I just saw this and it’s a year old. I really enjoyed it. Thank you!

Hi there in Missouri. Jenny you are just one great teacher This string quilt video has given me 3 new quilt Ideas. I must say that since you first started these tutorials you have become a very happy chappy you seem to get as much enjoyment from them as we all do watching them.

I'm so glad that you use the center white strip to separate the patterns formed by the blocks. I've seen so many scrap quilts that have no unifying pattern to them and each separate block ends up disappearing into a mish-mash of color which to me is visually confusing. My first reaction on seeing the quilt was that you had done the colored squares and then sashed the blocks in white which I really liked. Then I realized that it was a center stripe of white coming together at the corners to form the dividing frame work. So much easier to construct that way. Thanks so for the idea.

This is the perfect quilt for me to work with my granddaughters. I’m loving this. Thank you

I remember seeing my husband’s Grandmother use catalog pages to make these!

I have watched so many tutorials and other things that I feel like Jenny and I are old friends. We stopped in Hamilton last year (were from Oregon) in January and did the whole MSQC experience in the cold...but Jenny was not there😕. Big disappointment. But I left a nice pile of money there, went to all the shops, and hubby had long naps in the hubby shop. I would love to go to one of Jenny’s retreats. Such a wonderful family. Thanks for all you give!

Here I am 5 years later! I love all the MSQC videos! I'm currently making string pot holders.

I love the center white strip. I look for very cheap, thin, muslin or any light colored thin fabric to sew my strips on top. I usually buy it by the bolt. I call this my no brain sewing.

Thank you Jenny. You make everything look easy.👍

Yea Jenny! Snowing in the Midwest, so glad you are live. Hello from Milwaukee

Watched this today...I'm interesting in making string quilts/quilt blocks and this was so helpful. I like the center strip idea...and ideas on using the blocks and liked the baby quilt shown at the end

Speaking of “use it up” Memory quilts out of old clothing would be great!! I make lots of baby quilts out of grandparents and parents clothing! I throw nothing away!!

I use old sheets so it makes the quilt a little thicker and don't have to be pulled off!! Don't always have to use bating. I love your tutorials!!!

Jenny you are so fun to watch and Misty and Jake also. You have given me so many ideas I can't wait till I get home to try them. Mahalo

Loved these videos folks. Sending love from England UK. 💖💖💖😘

hi girls? i'm from bavaria in Germany!! Now it is 7pm. I love your videos!! have a nice time ans Good luck, andrea

LOL. So funny that while I was watching the the video, the mailman delivered my poppies charm packs from MSQC!

I made this pattern with fall colors and use white for the middle and I love it. Also made it with blues, I love the results. So happy with it, and as a new quilter you have become my greatest teachers. Thank you, awesome tutorials.

Watching your tutorials from England. New to quilting and have learnt so much from watching you. Have used tumble dryer sheets instead of tissue paper. Almost the size that I want. Love watching you both

Hello from Dayton Indiana.. I love all my purchases from MSQC.. You look amazing Jenny 😊

Love your utube! Keep going

Jenny, will you be doing a quilting show in Chelmsford, MA? We would love to have you visit us and see our small beautiful town. Thanks for all you have taught me. I am now so happy making quilts for babies, table mats, table runners. God Bless!

I love this tutorial. I haven’t quilted in a long time; this is so much easier. Can’t wait to try it.

Hi, love your tutorials! Debbie for Manahawkin,New Jersey

I used a square of muslin for my foundation.

I so enjoy your videos, your humor and sewing techniques.

I used the papers to make pot holders with the proper filling for gifts. My family loved it.

Use it up, Wear it out, Make it do Or do without. From my Mom

Come and teach me how to quilt Jen I bought a jelly roll and would love to learn how to put it together

I so enjoy your videos. You used my favourite colours and the white centre strips pull everything together. Thanks

Love this tutorial on the 10” paper piecing quilt idea. How fun is that! 💖💖💖
