    What wonderful way to make a shoo fly block. And I just loved the valentine fabric. I am like you Joan I love the woman that made the quilt and the fact she let the block stay the way they were. I could be her daughter or granddaughter did those two blocks and instead of fixing them left them like that . That's just an idea.

    This is such a simple yet charming quilt, perfect for a beginner! And who doesn’t love a bonus project? I for one adore that scrappy snowballed nine-patch look on the table topper! I also agree with your “rescued” quilt… there’s something to be said for a quilter who simply includes their imperfect blocks in their quilt, rather than fix them. I bet she was laughing the whole time it was being quilted 😆. Charm charm charm!! Thanks for this tutorial… I just might have a reds and creams jelly roll that would work perfectly for this one!!!! ~Diana K

    I am so happy that you did each block with the same two identical strips. I am probably one of a few who prefer less scrappy quilts and it seems that the scrappy trend has taken over. Thank you again for your wonderful tutorials!

    Your quilt with the squares turned made me think of one of my treasures. My dear Granny sewed one block with the wrong side up. The quilt isn’t complete and I want to finish it for her. I will be giving it to my cousin and was so tempted to “fix” the one square but decided I am leaving it. She stretched it by hand and there is a lot of love in that precious square.

    Thank you for your love of all things even imperfection.
    You opened a new chapter for me ten years ago.
    Watching your encouraging videos I “had a go” and I am quilting even in my dreams.
    Working with colours and angles is challenging but guess what it’s all worth while when you have a quilt in your arms.
    May you be richly blessed thank you and your staff at MS.
    When are you coming to the UK 🇬🇧 again?

    Aren’t imperfect quilts precious? I recently found a 65+ year old quilt in my late mother’s house that was made by my paternal grandmother. I was so happy to see it that I cried. I don’t think there is one place where the points meet properly. If my grandmother ran out of a certain fabric in a block, she would just finish it with something similar.

    I,took my first quilt class in September 1979 when everything was dine by hand - so I learned how to hand piece very well (and still enjoy it!). My very first block to piece was the Shoo Fly as I am originally from York, PA across the river from Lancaster where the best shoo fly pie is made!!! Love the one and love this block. Dummy me never realized that the shoo fly and a certain churn dash we’re just opposites! How fun is that! Happy MSQC 15th Birthday and wish all of yiu so many more birthdays to come!!🎉🎉🎉❤

    I like most tutorials, but again you lost me at "snowball", so I went back through MSQC tutorials and found the Churn Dash from 2013 which did not require snowballs to make the corner diagonal blocks. I always find a way around snowballs and flying geese. I have so, so many patterns bookmarked in Block magazines that I'm not sure I will ever get them all made! Thanks for stirring the creative juices.

She and I chatted for a while and she brought up the name of your company, told me you had a website, where to look for you on UA-cam, etc. She recommended you very highly, and I looked you up as soon as I got home. I’ve been watching your channel since then and I love it. We used to have a quilt shop in our little town but it closed and my interest in quilting sort of became a thing of the past as well. Now thanks to you and your wonderful videos I’m looking forward to getting back into quilt making. Thanks so much.

But it does need a lot of repair and I am afraid to tackle it But I do love it and would maybe think of trying it thank you Jenny and all of your Steph for another good year of taking care of all of us and our needs of material take care Jenny and enjoy this New Year with Good health and happy days always happy days

      Sometimes just hand-sewing patches of similar-coloured fabrics over holes/rips/tears in old quilts is the easiest way to repair an old quilt. If you want to keep using it, that is. Just do a search on UA-cam, I’ll bet someone has made and posted a video on appliqué quilt repair or (similar words/descriptions). Better than hiding the damaged quilt in a box or closet! Good luck Eva 🙂

    My grandma always told me that she made at least 1 mistake in anything she sewed. It was because only God can make a something perfect. When I went to the Amish community I told my cousin how beautiful the quilt was that the Amish ladies were quilting and there were no mistakes. Then the closest quilter to me got up, took me by my hand and pointed out one stitch that was off. She said “We always make one mistake in a stitch because only God can make something that is perfect.” I’ve never forgotten that quilt or visit. (However I don’t have to intentionally make one, it just happens. )

I got a 3x3 foot piece of pegboard and my son in law mounted it on a section of wall. I have all my rulers and templates hung on it. Most of the pegs have as many rulers as they can hold but it still allows me to easily see and access what I have. Saved the container space for my fabric!

    I LOVE it, but it looks a little radioactive! ;)

    I would have been so tempted to copy the lady's mistake!

    Love watching your videos. I see everyone and more than once. I’m looking for a picture of the Red/Yellow Kansas City Chiefs quilt and don’t remember where you posted it. Can you please help me find it? Thanks
