She uses Clearly Perfect Slotted Trimmer A and Clearly Perfect Slotted Trimmer B to quickly trim and square each block. The Handy Dandy quilt is an old-fashioned favorite that is known by many names, including Handy Andy, Mrs. Jones' Favorite, and Foot Stool or Footstool. It's made up of easy half-square triangles, quarter square triangle hourglass blocks, and a gorgeous piano key border.

I love your tutorials. You teach me something new all of the time. Thanks for taking vintage blocks and making them new and “dandy”.
Jenny, I love waiting until Saturday morning to watch your tutorials. It’s like my Saturday morning “cartoons”, such a feel good way to start the day. You’re a great teacher, thank you :):)
Let's all take a moment to appreciate Jenny's awesome style of teaching everyone to Quilt!!!! Young and old alike have learned so much from Jenny and the MSQC Family since 2009 when the tutorials first began.
Jenny's method of explaining things is so amazing, even the beginner quilter who knows little about sewing could learn to quilt from Jenny!!!
Like a video I watched a few years ago that features her son Alan talking about MSQC and how it started, etc. Jenny has this uncanny ability to make you feel you can do anything you set your mind to.
As Alan reminisced about his childhood & his mom and talking about moving to Hamilton and making a garden as kids it was readily apparent that Jenny had the amazing skill to teach others even way back then as a young mom of 7 children. According to Alan, Jenny told the kids they could be "Great Gardeners" and of course they were!!!!!
All kids growing up need parents like Jenny for sure and ALL of us who quilt and love Jenny (and her family) need her quilting skills for sure as well.
Thank you, Jenny, and all those who make MSQC what it is. We love you, and appreciate you more than words can say!
Love this tutorial, Jenny!
I bought a sewing machine because I had kids that needed alterations. I started quilting because of Jennny. She made quilting approachable. Two sewing machines later I have quite the WIP pile and my kids love their special quilts.
@@kristine146 My hubby bought me a sewing machine when I was pregnant for our 2nd child (and our only daughter) for my B-day that year. I thought he had lost his mind because I didn't know how to even thread the machine. His mom had made shirts & PJ's for him as a child and he looked back on that time fondly of course. Believe it or not, we were living in another state when I was given the sewing machine (hubs was in college) and he suggested I call my MIL and he was positive she could teach me to sew! We went home that weekend and she took me to the fabric store and taught me a lot about fabrics and other things, how to work the sewing machine, etc.. When I would get stuck on something after our daughter was born I'd call my MIL and she'd be able to tell me what to do etc. to get the garment finished. I went on to make ALL of my daughter's clothing and our son's (we have 4 kids) shirts & PJ's over the years. (I normally don't make men's/boy's pants with zippers though)
I started making Easter Dresses and shirts for homeless children in our county several years ago. I stopped a few years ago due to illness though.
I found Jenny by accident while surfing UA-cam in 2011....10 YRS WOW .....I love Jenny, Natalie & Misty I watch all of their videos for sure.
She taught me how to quilt about 7 years ago. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@holiday-td6hx I found Jenny through a post in 2011 on Facebook titled, "Easy Quilting with Jenny Doan." I thought to my self, easy? What is she selling? My eyes were opened! Because of that sweet woman I now Quilt, not as well as Jenny,, but my family hasn't refused any Quilt yet!
Absolutely! And she has such a fun way about her.
I never thought of flipping the stips! I always flipped the ruler! Genius!!! This is the best tip ever!
If your fabric is not 44" which lets you make a 5" piano key border, just cut 4" or whatever to make a smaller piano key border. Great tutorial, as usual!
You look wonderful, whatever you are doing - keep doing it
Cute quilt. I'm making a "strip tube" quilt right now. Only downside is the outer edges are all cut on the bias. So handle those triangle squares gently! Press, don't iron! Using a wool mat really helps to get nice crisp seams.
You lost me at. Would you like to make this quilt......
Love this quilt. I've a lot of HST that I've saved from other quilt projects and I think I will be able to use them to make this a scrappy quilt. A good scrap buster.
I really LOVE this quilt! I've noticed you don't use the 'slots' in the trimmer tool. Isn't that so you don't have the 'dog ears?' Also can you show how to use a regular ruler to cut those HST's.
Yes. I agree. The majority of us have normal rulers and don't want to invest in the specialty ones. I do realize it is the company's mission to sell products and of course to show us different techniques. Which I am forever grateful for. Maybe show both ways. Thanks for everything you do❗
I should have done that...sorry. You just need a ruler that has a 45 degree line. We get so used to our tools.
@@jennydoan57
😊 No apologies necessary .
I love this quilt and tutorial. however, I feel like this one is more complicated and you rushed through the instructions. it was harder to follow than some of your other tutorials.
I totally agree with you.
I agree too. Had to buy the pattern.
Every week I’m glad you took a quilting class all those years ago. Win for us all.
I like this quilt but listening to your instructions, I found it rather confusing.
This could be a scrap buster.
I love the way you’ve combined the old and new ways of showing the materials needed. Good job!
I love your all tutorials. This one is so beautiful. I’m shafaq from Pakistan. Love you all from Pakistan.
Do you know, I wa so worried about that iron. Surely it will burn your material, left there with the heat on, plate down.... but then it just lifted up a little. Surely this is proof that magic exists!
@@christiandonaldson31 Hi Christian, are you looking to sell me a magic iron lifter?
Why don’t you use the slots on the ruler to cut off the dog ears on the triangle?
Easy way to make a quilt that looks so complicated. Great job👍🇦🇺
I like this quilt, and always enjoy your fun, 'how to' demonstrations. Thanks so much!
Looking good Jenny! Well done you!
I am so glad you are doing one of these every Friday! I have a drawer full of MS jelly rolls and also the big squares so I am trying to get them made into projects. Thanks 😊
Another great block with easy to follow directions. Thank you so much ❣️
how big is each block?
10” before sashing, 12” after on two sides
I felt like you were in a hurry today, and the instructions were a little bit confusing to follow. It's a beautiful quilt. Do I have to have the clearly perfect slotted trimmers or can I use a regular square ruler?
Jenny, you really look marvelous...so healthy and well! You used your quarantine time so we'll...do you have a favorite healthy eating recipe to share with us? Love your tutorials and excitement to learn new things!! Thank you so much!!
I could listen to Jenny all day long. This quilt is amazing and looks so difficult but the way she explains every step gives a newbie like me the confidence to do it. God bless you Jenny.
Something for that sewing inspired batiks that were deal of the day a week or so ago.
I love this pattern. I was mask and garment sewing, then my machine belly-upped (3 times) and my Chromebook died...so it's been some time since I've watched MSQC. Is it my imagination? or have you grown younger, Jenny? You're so appreciated for all you do!
Do you think you would do another item, like Sew Along with Jenny?
: ) Sew Fun : )
Love this pattern and it uses jelly roll strips!! You did a great job explaining it too! Thank you Jenny and MSQC people !
Why are these posts on UA-cam closed captioned on my android phone? Please help me get away from CC on my phone. The captions hide the video.
Beautiful quilt!! I really enjoyed this one.
You look fantastic! I could use a tutorial on losing a few pounds!!
Thank you for this wonderful tutorial!
Love that quilt. Almost sparkles! Thanks Jenny
I love how you make it so easy. Another project that I just might have to make 🥰
Love this quilt it is so gorgeous. Love all the colors in it 😍
Every quilt you make looks so hard and you do it so well that it turns out to be ANOTHER one I want to make!! I'm always thankful for Fridays, get up thinking about it in the morning, blessings, Jenny.
You make lockdown so much more fun
if i have to have special items to make one quilt, forget it, i am on a budget
If you mean the slotted trimmers, believe me you will use them time and again. Worth the investment.
Love this. It’s totally unrelated but I ❤️LOVE❤️ your new rings! Beautiful!
I love love love the block! And the piano edge just makes it. So fun. Thanks, Jenny! God bless. 👏🏻💕👏🏻
You are such a great teacher. Thank you
ti rinrgrario tanto , ogni giorno mi sveli metodi x semplificare il lavoro
@@christiandonaldson31 sarei contenta di ricevere la vostra posta ,non solo ho saputo che ci sono problemi x spedirmi un ordine 9953707 , che ho ordinato col pc di mio marito il 23 04 21 . sinceramente sono dispiaciuta che le cause meteorologiche vi abbiano causato molti disagi . grazie
@@christiandonaldson31 mi fa piapiacere ricevere la posta di Missouri
I usually think the small hourglass, but you make it look so simple.🙂
Thanks for another wonderful well explained and demonstrated tutorial. I love everything you do.
This is a beautiful Block!! I love it!
You have made the piano keys border so much easier!😍
Such a cute quilt! I would have never tried this without your tutorial...thank you!
What model Baby Lock is being used in this video?
Such a beautiful quilt. Classic with a modern vibe.
Guess what postman brought? My Block magazine. I was so surprised. Hip hip! Made my day!!!!!!
This is an awesome quilt love the colors
I like how you mention what quilt style, this helps : )
First comment HAHA! Beautiful as always :)
When you break it down, it is doable. Thank you!!
Really cute!! Love the 2-sided border idea!
I love the setting. Never thought to do it that way.
Your quilts are so spectacular! That’s how i make my HST’s ❤️
love this quilt - hope your feelin well
Great tutorial! Thank you!
I love this pattern
Precious quilt.
So many quilts to make, so little time!
The quilt is lovely and have followed you for years. Been to Hamilton 2 times. Thank you for your tutorials.
Maybe I am getting slower, but seems you really rush through some of the instructions where we that are not as experienced could benefit more from little more follow thru details. Didn’t understand the two sizes one up
And down since both 2 1/2 inch strips. Why would one be smaller ?
Thank you again though and love you have your daughter and daughter-in-law.
Best quilting video #aimonequilts
Hi Jenny. I’ve got a motorhome. And a featherweight. I’ve just found a man in America who makes a hand crack part for a featherweight. So I’m on it. My husband and I live in the U.K. this man makes a hand crank. Just for our machines. Because if we go wild . Using the Sola panel . I can still quilt.
I just love that quilt. Thanks for the inspiration!
I’m at the stage of cutting the HSTs and can get the 12 smaller ones but can only get 3 of the bigger ones from each strip. Anyone else have this problem?
I saw this block on Fave and when you click for the pattern, it was different! Thank you for doing this block ♥️
Hi,
I'm a new quilter so I have a couple of questions. First. I thought as a general rule we are supposed to cut off the dog ears on the HST. Second, is there a method of picking which square you choose to use in the flip. Last question, do you use the same color thread throughout the entire quilt or do you change as each part of the quilt. I'm thinking about the areas .of all white fabric -vs- the colored squares. Thank you.
When your trimming the hourglasses do we trim the dog ears???
Personal preference. I always do as I FMQ on my domestic and try to reduce bulk whenever I can. For example, I would press these seams open because there are a lot of them meeting up.
@@beverleybrowning3480 thanks!! I can’t wait to make this but I’m thinking two colors.
So very clever!
huge like! tnx, bless.
@@christiandonaldson31 do you quilt Christian?
@@christiandonaldson31 I am sorry Christian, i dont continue chat. sorry. wish you the best in life.
😂AND…We did🎉🎉🎉
Love, Love, Love this tutorial! I am going to have to make this! :). Thanks Jenny!!
Thank you for everything you do. This past year I have learned a lot from all of you. Hope you and yours are having a blessed weekend.
Wouldn't it be easier just to flip the little trimmer instead of having to flip your strip every time?
Gorgeous quilt!
True art with a jelly roll. So,creative off-setting blocks.I love the idea.
Absolutely gorgeous! I can't wait to make one! Thanks so much for your easy instruction videos. It makes me feel like I can sew anything...lol. God bless you Jenny.
Jenny, you are amazing. love this quilt.
Love this quilt, thank you Jenny!
Pretty quilt, thank you so much 😊
omg how amazingly pretty.
What is the tape on your machine?
I wish that I could print the pattern 🧐
Easy and fun, fun fun.
@@christiandonaldson31 hello! Top of the morning to ya.
@@christiandonaldson31 yes. I’m in somewhat rural NH, I already got the plague last year, I live on a little goat farm, and I have an auto body repair shop and woodworking shop that I can travel to unhindered. Sadly the men in my life passed away including my dear son, so I am using three large work tables at the shop to make quilts. I’m scared to use the saws alone. And my dear daughter in law is a widow gazing at the sky sadly every night. How is your situation? ( I don’t usually blab so much. But for you...I don’t know. It’s unusual times and I’m keeping the shop to help rebuild the world when it gets destroyed.) and I respect the skills of men.
@@christiandonaldson31 I’m about to go milk some goats and feed chickens. I usually get to the shop by noon because there’s no ...more fun carpentry projects. We used to build little custom kitchens, additions, etc. and we had a lot of fun making thousands of canvas stretchers one year.
@@christiandonaldson31 yes
@@christiandonaldson31 I don’t see your address
Love this quilt
Thank you Jenny
My Great-Aunt was a quilter, and I could picture her making this block back in the day, although it wouldn't have been this easy! Very pretty!
I love how Jenny explains every detail. Missouri Star is my favorite for watching tutorials.
Thank you Jenny, I so look forward to your Friday tutorials! Love this quilt!
