Another winner! One block of this one with a wider border would make a cute baby quilt❤️
I like this idea! Maybe put a few borders to make a throw size. Hmmmm. My next project! 😀
Absolutely Beautiful ! I also Love your sense of humor !
I like big blocks & I cannot lie>>>>Love it!
"I like big blocks, and I cannot lie !" Jenny , you're the best! Love you girl!
JWeibertKM 🤣
I think you're the only person that commented about this. I was cracking up! Jenny is great & funny too!
Hilarious!
Jenny throwing down a little Sir Mix-a-Lot during the quilting tutorial - LOL!
You are such a joy I love your tutorial
This just might be my grandson's next project! I love how you get the different blocks, just by turning the half square triangle units! He is currently working on his 2nd quilt and he is 12! "He gets it from his grandma!" 😉🤣😁
That is so neat Jen! We'd love to see pictures of his quilts sometime!
Jen, OUTSTANDING! I love to hear about kids learning to quilt! You are passing on GREAT lessons to your grandson. Kudos to you! ❣
Jenny you are the quilting queen!
Thanks for slowing down! For taking the whole video step by step!!! I am an advanced quilter but hate when Jenny seems to be hurrying. This is my one and only quilting video for the week. So I cherish every moment of the video. Plus for all the new quilters see all the steps. You guys are great!!!!
😻😻😻. I want to make this a little less scrappy, all 4 chevrons the same and all 4 broken dishes the same in each block. Controlled scrappy. Thanks, Jenny, love your tutorials!
My thoughts exactly Mary! ~Diana from Hamilton (Canada)
I would love to see a picture of this completed.
I don't understand why in the world anyone would give Ginny a thumbs down. I love your tuits. I've been sewing since I was 5, not mentioning how old I am, and always learn something new in interesting.
Perhaps it was not Jenny they were giving the thumbs down to, but the quilt block? Maybe they have something against big blocks and don't want this to show up in their list of liked videos. I can't imagine anyone not liking Jenny and her tutorials.
I love big blocks...and I cannot lie. Laughed over that one Jenny. I was thinking the same thing so when you said it, it made me smile! Thank you for the great tutorials.
Jenny, love your attitude when you sew. You have such a wonderful teaching personality. You always make me smile when I watch. God truly blessed you with a wonderful talent. God Bless you and your family for the coming Holy Season.
Thank you so much for sharing such kind words with us. We're very thankful for you! :)
beautiful love big blocks
I feel miserable today, but Jenny was so cute && funny in this vid! Totally lifted me up. Plus, you know, nice quilt design, too.
Hope you get feeling better, Rabbie!
I love Fridays - I'm always in a hurry to see what new tutorial Jenny has to show us!
@@Leellka What are you talking about??!! Do you know how many *thousands* of quilts MSQC have donated to charitable causes? Please do some research before pointing fingers and ludicrous accusations. So easy to type nasty-grams -- bet you'd never think to say these things to anyone in person. Shame on you!
I do the same Friday’s are the best days to watch Jenny’s tutorials
Wow 😮 24” block. Love it.
Plus you get an added different block as well...Very nice Jenny, as always..
We're so glad you liked it, Adela! :)
Thank you for always teaching as if this is the first quilt someone does, because it could be. I always look forward to Friday and seeing what you are making. Thank you so much.
Excellent!
Love the big blocks! Beautiful fabric, too.
LOVE this quilt! I love big blocks too! A single block will make a great table topper!
Definitely! Have fun sewing!
The fabrics are yummy, the perfect quilt to show them off. Me too, ‘I like Big blocks and I cannot lie’...lol. Thanks Jenny.
Fabulous!
Hello Jenny & MSQC ❣I LOVE this quilt!!! I've watched this vid at least 4 times; I plan on making this quilt in 2 color ways. Yes, 2 quilts that I WILL be keeping 😁 I've had 2 layer cakes waiting in the wings for the "perfect" quilt pattern, and here it is (can't wait to get started). MSQC ROCKS; LOVE YOU ALL!!! Lindsay, Hot4Art, LLC, Sacramento.
This is a great big block quilt! Half squares are easy to make the Jenny way so it will be fun and quick! Thanks 😊
What a cute quilt! I love big blocks.
I love this block!!! I have to make it!!! Jenny please put this in your next Block Book!!!!
I literally gasped when I saw this quilt! Spectacular! I'm a color-freak, so this is right up my alley. :-D One block would make a cute wall hanging or a table runner. Four would be perfect for a crib or lap quilt. All nine would fit nicely over a queen/king sized bed. Love this more than I can say here. You not only knocked this one out of the park, I think it went all the way to Pluto! LOL As always, a great quilt and a wonder video tutorial, Jenny.
Absolutely, Rene! This one big block has so many uses!

I love your nail polish color BTW
When you trim your HST’s with the perfect slotted trimmer, you’re going to get a beautiful quilt. I love that tool! Love this pattern and Jenny, of course, too!
Yes, I MUST buy that perfect trimming tool (both sizes!).
I LOVE THIS QUILT!!! It has just moved to the top of my "Must Make Quilts". I have all of the ingredients, and I can't wait to get started. Thanks, Jenny, for another GREAT tutorial! I LOVE MSQC. Huggers ❣
Jenny, I just love you so much!!
And no one does a tutorial quite like you!! Love this one!! ❤️❤️❤️
Love these easy big blocks! That fabric really makes them pop
This is awesome and so many possibilties
I like this one a lot - I like using three different blocks and using such big blocks :)
I love the bright colors & big blocks in quilts! Gorgeous!
I just love this quilt. Thank you
This is gorgeous! Using big blocks is so much quicker. I need to try it out. Thanks! Love the prints!!!
I am watching this in November 2020, and when you were cutting the half square triangles, and said, "If we're careful and don't move our fabric, this is pretty easy..." and then (oops) you moved your fabric, I just had to laugh. Not because I was laughing at you at all, but because that was sooo me!! Oh my word...thank you for not editing this stuff out, and for just being real!!
I really love and appreciate your videos. You're such a great teacher and I enjoy learning from you. THANK you!!
What a great quilt! I love big blocks, and I can’t lie. too. LOL!!
Gorgeous gorgeous fabulou quilt Ms.jenny
This fabulous mouth watering quilt pattern
♥️♥️♥️ " Let me just brag, mine is perfect!". I love you Jenny. I do the same ( when it DOES happen) and I'm no where near your expertise level. To hear you say that made me feel better.
Jenny, I have Tulapink 10" squares and didnt k ow what to do with them but loved the fabric. Now I know exactly what to make. Thanks you are the best!!!!
Be sure to share pics of your quilt when you get it done, Janice!
Janice, I have a fat quarter bundle that's just been waiting for the right pattern! Can't wait to get started!❣
So pretty in Christmas colors and use single blocks as table toppers!
Cheryl Dunn I immediately thought Christmas!!
Yippee for Table Topper blocks!!
i really love large blocks, so many thanks!
Love it!!!
I love the blocks that have different units in it to make a beauty!! Just like your Antique Lace quilt. I would love to occasionally see a quilt done on point. That would be awesome!! It can take something ordinary and make it extraordinary, as Jenny loves to say!!!
You are so sweet Angela! Thanks for your comment.
Absolutely gorgeous! This would be beautiful as a two-toned quilt!
YES, I will make this with a multi-colored layer cake. But, I will also make a 2 color quilt as well! Can't wait to get started!
I love this quilt Jenny. I also like the scrappy look. 🤗👍
very clever. square up before opening the half squares. love it. love you.
This is great ♥ I love how you have been describing more detail lately on how to put blocks together ☺ it really helps beginners ☺ Keep up the awesome work MSQC and Jenny for walking us through everything you make ♥
You are a wonderful teacher.
I love those brag-able, “it’s perfect!” moments. Of course, it’s usually followed by several “expletive , I sewed it wrong!” moments.
Teachable moment: never celebrate your successes to excess, or your failures will multiply! (Ask me how I know!)
I love blocks and I cannot lie, you other sisters can’t deny, when a square comes together so perfectly, I get -feelings!
Sorry couldn’t resist. But I do love this block. Sometimes, simplicity makes the biggest impact. And this does make an impact. There’s so much you can do with HSTs. Thanks for sharing Jenny. My week has now been fulfilled. Lol. Love you guys!
Little 1 omg!! I love your rap!! 😂
I know, isn't this a GREAT block!?! And, I LOVE big blocks; quilts grow rapidly with GREAT impact! I can't wait to make this one. Keep on quilting! Lindsay, Sacramento ❣
Love this quilt! And the fact that as long as your original squares are all the same size to make the half square triangles, you can make this in so many sizes! i.e. 7 or 12 inch square instead of 10.
I love how you take the versatile HST and turn it into something special! This seems so do-able! I want to just jump in!
I fell in love with this big block quilt! My BFF and I already have all layer cakes paired up and the first 1/4" sewed in the "x"! Very excited!
YAY!! We're so glad to hear that, Zoanne! :)
I just finished this qult with my Robert Kaufman Topia Layer cake. It was so fast and easy and turned out beautifully. I am now making matching pillow cases for it with the directions you gave in your Pinwheel Frolic video. I just love your videos! Thank You so much!!
Eek! It’s beautiful. Thanks for another fabulous tutorial. ✨💕🤗 I am spoiled on MSQC easy quilt patterns. 😘😘😘
I love the block. I wonder what it would look like without the sashing strips. I'll see when I make this quilt. lol Thanks for posting Jenny. It's beautiful.
Wow now this is a quilt I can wrap my head around . Can’t wait to make it
I can't wait to make this out of some of my layer cakes. Thank you, Jenny!
So beautiful 😍
Love this quilt!! Thank you Jenny!
Okay I've been looking for a pattern to use for teaching kids how to make stars so this is perfect! They learned three blocks and had to put them all together into a star that is a huge block
Would make a Wonderful Christmas quilt. I have quite a few Christmas fabrics in my stash!!😉❤️
Stunning!
Love this quilt! Also love your sense of humour, Jenny :) Such fun to watch your videos.
❤❤❤❤ thanks for a great lesson
Oh how I LOVE the versatile and basic Half Square Triangle! This is a brilliant combination of some traditional HST blocks. WELL DONE Jenny dear!
I love this quilt. I think it might be my favorite one yet! 😊💕
Me too! I can't wait to get started!! Once I finish the first one, I'll be making one in 2 colors ❣
Another great quilt! Thanks!
Un bloque simple y ha la vez espectacular
My to make list is getting out of hand!! I just need to start quilting!! I really like this quilt, thanks Jenny.
I think 2 of the big blocks would make a great tote bag 😀
Great idea!!! ❣
Big blocks are great as I can use them for quilt as you go thanks Jenny
Wonderful quilt! I love that your left handed like me. This would make a great scrappy quilt. Thank you❤️
I love that quilt my next project
Love, love, love this one! Can see lots of possibilities!
Pretty pattern Jenny. I’m making my first HST block quilt now (Night Sky) and I plan on making a lot more using HST. So far it’s going okay thanks to what I’ve learned from you. Thanks 🥰
Beautiful. It's a must make.
Hi jenny, you are genious. I am from India. I am utilising and enjoying my lockdown period following your tutorial, making new project. Love you.
Adore it! Looks like a tutorial my granddaughter and I can do together - very easy and she could use the practice of making the 3 separate blocks (like her grandma) Thank you for another fantastic Friday tutorial 😊
It'd be perfect for teaching your granddaughter, too! Lots of HSTs and how you turn them makes the quilt!
Love this Thank you for showing this . So beautiful. Also be nice in Christmas fabrics .
Great pattern and looks so easy!
This is so beautiful, and I have everything at home to make it.
Beautiful 😍😍thank you
That block would make an awesome pillow cover.
This is amazing!!! I always love your work. Thanks for sharing and inspiring!!!
This is a great quilt! So awesome. I love HST quilts.
One block with a few borders would make a quick baby quilt!!
Absolutely, Loretta!
I love it! Beautiful!
I love that you coined the term "easy eight"!!!
Love watching the tutorials to be able to quilt my quilt a whole lot
Lovely. Jenny. Thanks.
Hi and thanks a million for another great tutorial! 🌸🌸 I have just discovered another way to square up HST: this triangular ruler. It looks easier and faster than the square blocloc.
This has so many color possibilities!! I always wish that your videos showed blocks in alternate color/style combos.... but untill then I guess I will have to experiment myself! I am thinking maybe solids with each block having different colors but within a large block having each type of block be the same color. Also you could play with the background colors and use grey for most of it, but use white to highlight the star pattern that appears in the middle of the big block... so many choices!
This is fabulous! Another great tutorial! This might have to be my first big quilt!!! Thanks for breaking it down and making it scrappy! ❤️
Yes, it IS a gorgeous quilt! It is now at the top of my "Quilts I Must Make" list! ❣
Oh yeeeees. Going to start this one tomorrow thanks Jenny!!!!
I really can’t wait to try this one.
Love it ❤
