You slimmed down beutifully!!!!!! You got me through some ruff patches in my life. You tought me soooooooooo much, inturn giving me something to do. I ha e sewn so many projects while feeling sh!@#, and it help me to stay calm and feel better knowing I am turning my pain or stress into something beutifull. I have fallowed you for years!!!!!! Thanks again. I'd hug you in person if I could.
Jenny, I just want to say thank you. Sewing should be fun and relaxing. There is so much stress in the world. Quilts don't have to be perfect, just comfy and cozy. I really like the block and quilt you created. Thank you for being real and down to earth.
Exactly. A couple years ago i brought a quilt to my long arm quilter and she suggested i put it in a show. I said “I appreciate it, but no thank you. My quilts are utilitarian - made to be cuddly and loved”. This is a hobby and i do it for fun, not a frustration.
Jenny…I previously gave up on quilting because I could not get it sewn PERFECTLY. I have now proudly made and given three of your patterned quilts without worrying about some boo boos. Thank you for encouraging this wonderful tradition of “the home sewn and imperfect quilt.” I am a happy quilter!!
I am beg/int quilter and have been watching you for awhile. Thank you girls for teaching us. Mine are *far*from perfect. But the receivers are delighted to have them. Anything handmade is from the heart and made with love. I have even received outgrown baby clothes and been asked to make medium sized baby quilts that the parents have as a reminder of their child and then can be passed down to their child when they have children of their own as a generational quilt. Those I leave a white patch on the back for names/dates to be added as passed down. Again, many thanks.
Great! Be careful you will be addicted. If you can collect small scraps, you must watch videos on “crumb “ quilts..most fun you will ever have sewing quilt tops. So easy, totally relaxing, no points, you will not want to stop sewing. It’s sad that beginners can’t do crumb quilts because you need years of collecting those scraps and beginners don’t have that stash to work with. If you haven’t tried crumbs yet, (Jenny did do a tutorial) but reply back and I’ll tell you whose tutorial I liked best.(KH)
@@Thepiecemaker hi! I get excited and go on and on too much about this..but I first learned by watching Darlene Michaud (5 yrs ago video) learning the ideas. Then watched every video on UA-cam and you will some learn your own way. Roxanne Ritter called hers a trash quilt. The lady on “Mostly quilts” did some on crumbs, but she took too much time thinking . Don’t do that.😂 Teresa DownUnder , she actually took time to press seams open.my best advice is to not go smaller than 1 1/2” pieces. You will soon learn what to watch for…too many seams together, too close to the block edge.and most important, make your stitches SMALL. So with all that cutting, the seams don’t come apart. Kay …have fun!
Jenny when I decided to buy my first sewing machine from the Viking Sewing Gallery six years ago I had no idea how to quilt or cut fabrics. I got on UA-cam to see how I could do my new hobby and there you were. I have watched all your episodes and you my sweet friend taught me how to quilt. My mama was a quilter and dress maker for our family. I was born in 1964 so I knew it was a must for women to sew. My sweet mama tried to get me interested in sewing but I loved playing in the dirt more. I love to grow vegetables and flowers. My precious mom passed away in 1995 at the age of 55 due to breast cancer. My teacher was no longer here and I was 31 years old, lost and broken from her passing. She would be proud today to see my beautiful quilts and dresses. Thank you so much for being my role model and helping to guide me in the right direction. I too have a odd disposition with rulers and reading them. I have to see you do it first and then I can follow along. Your Triple plays are so much enjoyed. You and your girls are the best of the best. I so appreciate all of you!!
Oh I do love a nice quilt to picnic on. I've never understood why people don't use their quilts for that. I agree, not an heirloom, but we like to sit on nice things. If you use busy fabrics you won't even notice any food stains. I love putting a quilt on the table with a piece of glass on top. They are just so welcoming to me. Thanks for posting.
Thank you so much for being REAL!! I so appreciate "it is ok not to be perfect." Perfect makes it not enjoyable to sew. I try hard to do a good job, but every project is not flawless, BUT THEY ARE FINISHED.
I love the concept of "picnic quilt." Quilts are to be used, washed, and loved. Yet, we are our own worst critics, so thanks for reminding us that probably only other quilters would examine our quilts to look for mistakes. Family and good friends will just love them.
I just love the imperfections and seeing how you make it work. I wish I could have perfect points but I’m just not that good and don’t even know if I want to be!!!
Jenny, I have followed you for MANY years and love your attitude! However, a couple of years ago I was watching an RV channel I frequented and I was SO surprised when she introduced you as a fellow camper she had just met! I was delighted to see how you took your featherweight and fitted your sewing into your relaxing camping vacation! Someday, if the Lord doesn't come back first, I hope to do the same. Thanks SO much for showing us more about life...relax and enjoy it! (Nobody is ever perfect, no matter how we may pretend to be!). 🥰
I love that you are not a perfectionist, and you admit to it. 😁 And thank you for leaving it in the video. It's nice to see that you lose points too. I to have done the same. I guess I need to add this to my project list. Thank you, Jenny!
Thanks for giving us permission to enjoy our sewing and patchwork making 😃😃 Who needs the quilt police if you aren’t intending a quilt for a competition 🤷♀️ Quilts are there to be loved and used, and to wrap the people we care about in love 🥰Great video and another gorgeous quilt 👏👏🇬🇧
Yes! I always try to make my blocks as perfect as possible but I try not to stress when they aren’t. I think of the Amish. I’ve heard that those dear women always intentionally put an imperfection in their quilt because only God is perfect. I don’t have to worry about intentional imperfections. My quilt have enough without trying. 😊
🧡💙🩷💙🧡 I've not been able to sew these last weeks. This one is a winner. I've been making 2 patches with a nice paisley coupled with complementary colors. I now know what I am making. THANKS Jenny. Your friend from New Mexico, Carla 🎶 💖 💐
Really appreciate the tips and tricks for when things are slightly wrong and how to accommodate them. Also “ it’s a picnic blanket “ is very freeing in forgiving yourself . It’s the making and loving the process that helps you achieve better and better results.
Jenny, all I can say is that your tutorials about quilting have taught me far more in life than just quilting ... Over the years (and I've been with you from the very beginning!), you've provided me with words to live by. I was raised with a lot of "perfectionism" and gosh, does that just suck the life and fun out of so many things -- quilting included! It's not to say to be sloppy or cut corners, but rather to just make the best you can of what you've got -- even if that means fabric cut slightly imperfectly! :-) And, "Finished is better than perfect!!" You've become a dear voice in my life and I can't tell you how thankful I am to "have been able to meet you" -- even if across the internet airwaves. Biggest hugs to you. @MissouriQuiltCo
I love the simplicity of a utilitarian quilt, and this one totally fits the bill. As soon as Jenny mentioned that the 5” squares might be a smidge too small, I thought “that’s going to stress me out. I am going to cut my squares from yardage. If they’re 5.5”, I’ll get to keep all my points and not worry!” I have no problem doing a bit of arithmetic. I’ll need 1.5yards of background fabric to cut out 6 Width-of-Fabric strips 5.5” wide (each strip yields 7 squares 5.5”x5.5”) plus 8 strips 2.5” wide for the inner border. Done! Love the idea of centering a panel into the backing, it’s like having two quilts in one! And this very cute fabric is perfect for a picnic quilt. Can’t wait to make this one. Thanks Jenny & the entire MSQC team! ~Diana K.
This is a fun quilt! You make a great motorcycle rider, too! I like the panel, too! You might not be a perfectionist, but I think most people would agree if I call you “Queen of Quilting”!
ALL my quilts are picnic’d on, slept with, fort makers. I machine quilt so that are sturdy and washable. My family near and far love to use them well. 😍
Jenny, you are such a pro! I love having the double camera so we see you speak as well as sew. And then the third to watch you at the cutting board. This has to be one of the best and most thorough quilting demos I’ve seen in my 61 years! Great job!!!
Love the tips for not losing the points on the blocks and especially the ones for the backing - and how to line up the strips and panel for the long armed - very good to know!
Another fun quilt...and thanks for the tips on keeping those pesky points! I'll cut my setting triangles from 5 1/2" squares so I'll have fun, not frustration. ;)
Thank you, Jenny, for your relaxed attitude towards quilt making. I read that it was the practice of many of our ancestors to purposely include a mistake in every quilt made because none of us are perfect, so our quilts shouldn't be either. Love that outlook of enjoying the process and not getting uptight about the mistakes. Eleanor Burns always says about small mistakes, "Hang em high and let em fly!"
3 things I love about this video 1. Jenny's don't die over it attitude with the points 2. The picture in picture feature 3. The backing!!! As always thank you for the freebies and the fact that there are no commercials interrupting the video ❤❤
I’m really envious of,people,who have places to go for picnics! I grew up and lived for many years in Phoenix, AZ where it’s hotter than yiu know where in the summer - how about over 110degrees Almost every day for months!!! And there wasn’t a park anywhere near our neighborhood - pretty pathetic! So my family didn’t do picnics - at all😧😧😧😧😧. But this is a very cute quilt for just about any time and sure would make a fun quilt for children!!! Thanks again for another wonderful tutorial and quilt😀😀😀😀😀😀
Thank you! What a great idea! You give us permission to get grass stain on this one! Makes a great gift! I already have a few quilts that are not my FAVS and perhaps they need to go in the picnic category and be gifted for kids!
I love how you keep it real. You show us that if the seams are a little off- its not a huge deal and it won;t matter in the overall project. Thank you for continuing to show us awesome tutorials!
I know your trying to sell coordinate layer cakes but with some of these quilts of late the would be so perfect as scrappy stash busters. A lot of us collect leftover 2.5 inch squares and this would be a great way to use them with other leftovers. It would even be a great triple play if you each did a pattern only using stash scraps that were not crumbs but normal sized scraps.
Jenny, you and your girls have made quilting so therapeutic for me. You don't sweat the small stuff. Taking a page out of your book has allowed me to clear my head and enjoy the journey. It's definitely my "happy place". My time to be creative, and challenge myself while making beautiful colors come together to be enjoyed for years to come. Thank y'all sooooo much! 😘🤗
I love that Jenny shows how things don't have to be perfect. As a new quilter, I try so hard and still end up with less-than-perfect cutting/blocks. This took a lot of the worry out of it for me. And this quilt is so cheery, love the fabric.
Love this quilt. Also, I never thought of using a panel on the back. Brilliant! I have a number of panels I don’t know what to do with. Will look at putting them on the back of some of my quilts. There is something about labeling a quilt a picnic quilt. It really does give permission to get it dirty. Many thanks for all your wise advice.
Great quilt! This is one I will have to make. I’m one of those who would start with 5 1/2” squares. When cutting the side strips I would cut each one slightly wider then square up to the correct size. I’d also sew the triangles with the 4 patch on top to help me not to stretch the bias of the triangle. As you can tell, I’m one who needs all the forgiveness a block has to offer. 😂
I so love watching you help us validate "being creative" without complicated patterns... I'm sewing as fast as i can at 76! So much to use up from DD's when you first hit the scene.... i am determined to` not leave it all behind! Oh and good job mentioning "the point lining up to the center of the 4 patch"... that's my style... Love you Jenny!
I love the idea of a picnic quilt! First you can practice on those points if that is important to you and also practice a scant quarter inch seam. Best of all you can throw it on the ground and have a fun time!! ❤it
I have this collection and the minute I saw yours I realised your blocks are perfect to put around my panel, thanks. The point police are watching us 😂
Yes, I thoroughly enjoyed this one!! It’s perfect for my 10” scrap pieces. Thank you also for starting to insert the facial dot when you do leave the camera to show us what you’re doing. And the back is darling! ❤️ Happy quilting and stay cool my quilty friend! 🧵
Jenny you are so cute! When you were showing the nest your seams on the 4 patch the back of your head blocked the camera. And we couldn't see the area you were talking about. Lol 😂 love you❤!
Such a great design-and quick and easy! I love the idea of using a panel for the back. I’ve just added it to my bucket list. Thank you for your many great tips. Stay well! Muskoka ON 🇨🇦
Thanks for reminding us to allow yourself to enjoy quilting and not be total perfectionists. I love the simplicity of this quilt. It is just darling and the fabric you used is really cute. Thanks for the great video!!

Yes, thanks for doing the math, I wouldn't like doing the scant 1/4" as well. Want to keep my points.

I so love watching you help us validate "being creative" without complicated patterns... I'm sewing as fast as i can at 76! So much to use up from DD's when you first hit the scene.... i am determined to` not leave it all behind! Oh and good job mentioning "the point lining up to the center of the 4 patch"... that's my style... Love you Jenny!
That’s so thoughtful of you Barbara, Thanks for your positive review,How are you and how’s the weather over there?
What a great, great idea for a layer cake 😊 And of course, LOVE the panel!!
Beautiful quilt
Will be one of my faves
I love the idea of a picnic quilt! First you can practice on those points if that is important to you and also practice a scant quarter inch seam. Best of all you can throw it on the ground and have a fun time!! ❤it
Fabulous quilt idea!! 😄.
Great backing 😊
I have this collection and the minute I saw yours I realised your blocks are perfect to put around my panel, thanks. The point police are watching us 😂
That panel goes perfectly with the quilt. I just recently used a panel to help back one of my quilts - works great! Love the quilt, another great job.
Loved the backing😊
Yes, I thoroughly enjoyed this one!! It’s perfect for my 10” scrap pieces. Thank you also for starting to insert the facial dot when you do leave the camera to show us what you’re doing. And the back is darling! ❤️
Happy quilting and stay cool my quilty friend! 🧵
That’s so thoughtful of you Tracey, Thanks for your positive review,How are you and how’s the weather over there?
I love the primary colors of this quilt.
Love this quilt! The new visuals are nice too
Jenny you are so cute! When you were showing the nest your seams on the 4 patch the back of your head blocked the camera. And we couldn't see the area you were talking about. Lol 😂 love you❤!
Thank you so much Jenny. I love your tutorials.
Such a great design-and quick and easy! I love the idea of using a panel for the back. I’ve just added it to my bucket list. Thank you for your many great tips.
Stay well!

Such a cute quilt! Sew easy and fast! Also for your scant 1/4" move your needle to the right 2 clicks.
You can’t move your needle on a straight stitch only machine. But you can on others😊
Thanks for reminding us to allow yourself to enjoy quilting and not be total perfectionists. I love the simplicity of this quilt. It is just darling and the fabric you used is really cute. Thanks for the great video!!
