I love how Jenny shows us how to make complicated looking blocks with less work than expected! I love strip sets!
How appropriate for the time of social distancing. Thank you again for all your videos.
I don't do quilting...I don't even like quilting, but I watch the tutorial because I just love watching this lady teach...awesome!

Jenny, this is Fabulous! I never knew how these were done. You made it EASY! THANK YOU! Thank you for admitting that you made a few boo-boos, and had to fix it easily! I love this! 🎉💖 I pray all is well with you. Huggles Always. 🙏🍀🤟💖🌹🦓🪡🧵✂️ Liz in Northern California.
Friday never comes fast enough! It's worth the wait. It's like Christmas every Friday!
I just love your honesty and you show how human you are. Without a doubt you are an amazing teacher! Thank you for all the time you put in to helping those of us who are as challenge or more than you say you are. I'm definitely 'directionally' challenged haha.
Thank you Jenny for another fab tutorial x Enny craft commented that this is a basic quilt that's been around for years! But I haven't! I am new to this and like the majority of your viewers I am soooo grateful to you for taking the time to teach us newbies how to create these beautiful patterns with a modern twist x
Tricia Sage actually that was my comment to enny craft. They said it was Bonnie's quilt but it's so basic I'm assuming it's been around long before her. ;-)
I made a "Round the World" quilt years ago with this method. It's wonderful. Thank you for this take on the method. You are wonderful as always!
I turned 83 in March..have sewn for years. but just could not stand those little pieces to make a quilt.....started out with Elenor Burnes Log Cabin.when it first came out...I was HOOKED big time...you have made it even easier..for this old lady to keep making quilts.
I don't know how to quilt but I love watching you. You're so passionate about it, it's inspirational!
Ashley Meade I found Jenny makes it so simple it inspires you :) books can make it seem unfathomably complicated, then you watch Jenny and your grabbing the fabric. Soon you will have to negotiate with yourself that you already have enough fabric for 4 quilts and really should put the fabric down but..... :)
I'm with Moonie Pie. I didn't even know how sew 3 years ago and I've now made 6 quilts. I'm working on 2 right now and have 3 more in the works. Once you get going you kind of become addicted. It's beautiful art and Jenny definitely makes it easy. None of my quilts was perfect but people don't care. You can't make a quilt without pouring some love into it. Somehow that add a priceless value to it. You can do it!! :)
Hopefully you'll try your hand at quilting soon, Ashley! You'll do great!
I think you have given me the courage to "start" another quilt top and add it to the 6 I already have under construction. Little bits and pieces every day.... slow and steady win the race. Another great one from Jenny..........T.Y.
Hello, I have always looked at Quilts over the years & thought All them little squares are sewn together 1 by 1 😋 but now I know! 😁💜 This is Beautiful with the Contrast Black 😁💕 Erica x
Tumbled down a Pinterest rabbit hole of scrappy trip blocks this morning and then thought "hey, I think Jenny and Missouri Star did a video on that that's in my favorites." Looking forward to working on one of these this winter.
Du är bäst. Jag börjar min fredag med att se din film. Längtar hela veckan efter dessa. Din glädje att sy med lappar inspirerar mig .Har sett alla dina inlägg. Älskar dom.Ta hand om dig och ha en bra dag.
So glad you enjoy the weekly tutorials, Lenas!
I look forward to Fridays, Jenny's tutorials and 3 grandsons stay over night. Life is good!
I am on my second one of these. Jenny is right, it goes faster after the first one. Even the seam ripping. I really enjoyed this one!
I followed this technique to use up my stash of 2.5 scraps. I needed 13” of each strip and put scrappy reds for my “focus strip.” It turned out great. Made it extra long so hubby could have his own quilt for his side of the bed. I think it weighs a lot because of all those quarter-inch seam allowances! Wish I could leave you a photo.
Luv luv luv you and your videos. Thank you so much, Jenny. God bless...
I did enjoy as usual! Jenny you are too fun! I loved when you talked about the name of the quilt and your story of what you were called! That is what quilting is about...a quilt isn't just another blanket....its a story! thanks for sharing!
Glad I saw this again. I have sewed the strips and now to add the fifth dark strip to them. I will try this. And I have to say, your videos are so cheerful and have uplifted my spirits during this time. Thank you so much.
looks great, not complicated no stress, I think that's what quilting should be
:-) Love the Swedish stories. I look forward to Friday mornings like Susie Annei does ... wake up @ 5 am EST, get my 1st cup of morning coffee, and enjoy your company Jenny, while learning new piecing methods.
I LOVE FRIDAY MORNINGS!
When I look forward to see what Jenny has cooked up for us this week.
This is a DEFINITE DO.
Thank you!!
Susie Annei agreed!!
Love this cute! Jenny makes it look so much easier!
Always love your tutorials
A wow quilt that draws me to my sewing corner right away
Jenny I always know that you would have an easier way to do something! I just love how you do quilting. Thank you for being my inspiration when I think I don't know what to do next.
Jenny you made me love quilting.
Love your word for uneven.....cattywumpous !

oh boy, another nice one, retiring in 1 week....then its high times for quilting.....this one is a gem, thanks again MSQC.
Hope you are enjoying retirement. Congratulations!!
I made 4 quilts for my mother's church ministry (Lutheran World Relief) using this technique! I used 5 1/2" strips and blocks to make a 60x80" quilt!

Cathy Mekus nice!!
Love seeing this one all over again!
That fabric is beautiful!
haha! I hear you telling me to nest my seams when I am sewing. Thank you Jenny! I love your teaching methods and shortcuts. Everything you do is so fun!
I Love that you admit you're not perfect 👼🏼. You still make mistakes, LOL.
You remind me this is for fun and a loved one, Not a competition to be Perfect or judged.
Jenny, Thanks for sharing. You're so much fun to watch!!
I love Jenny! She's not perfect, just like the rest of us, and not afraid to admit it!! I love this quilt.
Thank you , that was fun Jenny !!!
I love this block and how you make it look so easy. It's a good way to practicing getting your points to match. Practice makes perfect. Lots of fun. Lol.
I use my leftover bits to make my granddaughter quilts for her dolls beds!! she'd love these!
Your tutorials are the best. I've followed a few with success. Currently working on a TN Waltz and it's turned into a nightmare. I want to set on fire. My point, your tutorials specific and are the easiest to follow. I believe I will limit all future quilts to one's that you showcase in order to preserve my sanity!
I'm sorry but this made me giggle. :) Sorry you are having trouble.
Thank you Joan for sharing this great method. I love the way the strong plain colour leads the eye, and thank you for admitting that you didn't unpick the correct seam when you first tried this method. Makes us feel better as we go along!
This is just the cutest! Jenny, thanks so much for sharing any bumps in the road we might run into along the way! It sure helps us to make the job easier! Love your videos!
I love watching you teach and sew. I also like your honesty about making a mistake.
We all do.
You're a magician! I would love to witness one of your brainstorms firsthand! This is such a beautiful quilt and an awesome way to make it!
I love making Bargello type quilts.. Lovely. :)
By my 3am calculations this would be 10.5 / 10 inch finished blocks and 4 together to make the pattern would make it them 20 inches finished .... I love the idea of a scrappy quilt using this method .... I cut jelly strips to set aside every time I cut fabric so now have a huge box of them to use. THANKS FOR THE FUN PROJECT.
Love her energy and passion for what she is doing!
Jenny, your technique of nesting seams without pinning is so easy! I thought it would be hard to feel but it really works! I never got good joins with pins but the nesting really works!!! Thank you.
Jenny I love you! You explain very good and it is always a pleasure watching your tutorials
thanks
Emo
Excellent tutorial. Thanks for showing how to use the leftovers. It'll still make a statement as long as you keep that dark color a really bold color.
Jenny I love your tutorials!! Years ago I made a Round the World quilt using this technic but of course I had forgotten all about it!! Thanks for the reminder and thanks for teaching us new tricks.
so cool love it! Jenny you are awesome!! thank you you are a wonderful teacher! This is Kathy Aschenbach we don't know why it says Marc Aschenbach, he doesn't sew trust me! lol
This looks like fun!
I absolutely love the colors of this quilt! This is going in slot #3 of the queue.
Yes! Now I know what I'm doing with my jelly roll!! :)
another awesome video, thanks Jenny
I love watching you daily! I can't wait to scrap bust this quilt!! Love love love you!
I always love your way of showing how to do it Thanks for sharing it with the world xx
I love the design and colors. Some quilts are just-thrown. I together. Too,much work without dimension and looks. Very pretty and an eye catcher. I show my husband everyone. You can tell you love helping others.. God. Bless you and your family. Pamala Harmon. I can tell when I order supplies, all of you are very organized. Hank you!
Jenny love the way you explained things your a very amazing lady
Wow you were not joking, this is a different way to sew HOW FUN!! I can't wait to try this! 💟 your videos and the way you teach us how to quilt❣️
I love this site, been on it all morning seeing and learning so much. I finally can make a tumbling block, 9 patch on point, and now crossing paths...thank you giving all quilters this web site. Love It..
I just got done sewing the strips together ina block but I have not sewn the blocks together to make the quilt. I was so bad for ripping out where I shouldn’t. But I cannot wait to get it together. I used the radiance batik with black. It’s so bright and colorful. Thank you so much for showing us how to do this quilt.
loving this. I have a little boy quilt to do...Finally I know what I am going to do. Thanks Jenny.
luv it. i was wanting to make a bargello quilt for a while but it used to look so complicated. your tutorial make it look so much simpler. thank you so much.

I love this quilt, thank you Jenny.
Another to be added to "to do" list. Thank you again Jenny, 💖
Another great one! Thanks!
I love that method! It was my first ever quilt lesson! Long time ago but I had almost forgotten that. Thank you Jenny
This would be a great pattern to use just 2 colours, blue and white, etc.,
Will be pulling out my jelly rolls to give it a try. Love it.
Fantastic👏👏👏
Love this and have to try it soon. Thank you Jenny 👍

Hi and thanks a million! I’m always amazed at all the designs we can make with playing with fabrics! Thanks for sharing your expertise! Your tutorials are always fun to watch! 😎🌸
Another great idea Jenny. Thanks keep them coming, I really enjoy your videos. X
I bought a half-pint jellyroll (20 strips) from Joann Crafts store and was enthralled by the colors and patterns not realizing that Jenny was using a pint (40 strips) jellyroll. My half-pint jellyroll had 5 prints per repeat and three of them were directional. I feared the shifting of the tube (past experience), so I left it flat to cut my block sets. I did have to sew block strips 2-6 individually into tubes and then follow Jenny's directions for ripping them apart. On the Strip set seams, from the back, I pressed strips 2 & 4 & 6 seam allowance out, this made all seams nest beautifully. I didn't want to have to deal with twisted seams when pressing. I devoutly pin all my seams. Strip set A had the Pathway square fabric on top. I made one strip set and sewed one block. I liked it so I proceeded on. Each strip set yielded 17 strips, so I got 2 blocks + 5 strips per Strip set A. So I had to turn block 2 of row 1 90 degrees to make the colors line up but then had to do some creative pressing to nest the seams for sewing. I got row 1 sewn together and was getting ready to start on Row 2. I realized there was no way to make the blocks of row 1 flip around to match on all 4 corners and keep the integrity of the secondary pattern for row 2. After studying it on my design wall I realized that I had to mirror image the first block of the row to match all 4 corners and have the pathway going in both directions. Every row will have to be mirror imaged horizontally, thus you will only have 2 blocks to duplicate across the row. Then I realized that row 2 had to mirror image row 1 vertically. So strip Set B I started with the bottom strip of Strip set A on top and mirrored it vertically. Now my Pathway square fabric was on the bottom. I followed the same steps of row 1 to make row 2. Odd numbered rows 1-3-5 are from Strip set A and even numbered rows 2-4 are from Strip Set B.
I made this on and it was very easy. I also did the herringbone pattern. Both were very easy
Love this tutorial using a Jelly Roll!
