MSQC, you are just the right people to join with the Kansas City Star to bring back the old blocks of the month. A joint effort retrospective to save the history would be fabulous for today’s crazy world. Please give it consideration. And, Jenny, you are just the one to bring back the life of those projects along with the blocks.
When you said , all are brains think different, not many people get that... You must of had a child that maybe had a learning disability.... Well I'm one of those kids..but now 62 years old ,I'm still one of those kids.... My mind sees things differently, I think the way to teach is so understanding.
Thank you. You are the one I wake up to to see your deal of the day. You are the one that I search for the next quilt I hope to make. In the day I think I check out your website more then anyone.Jenny you are the one I started to watch 9 months ago. Your way of teaching is awesome... Thank you again.
Thank you so much, Burd K.! We love to know that what we are doing is helping someone and making a difference in their life. Welcome to the Missouri Star family!
I think that is why I can understand you so good is because I'm so Angle challenged and I have dyslexia. So you really help me.❤❤❤❤
Can’t get too much “Jenny”! Love this format! I am a 70 year old quilter with 50 years experience and still love your tutorials. Lots of work for you but pure enjoyment for me❤️
I’m a 69.5 year old quilter with only a couple of years’ experience, and I also can’t get enough of Jenny! I never miss a Jenny tutorial, and I’m going back to watch all of the old ones on the MSQC app on my iPad.
I’m 68 and have only been quilting for about 1.5 years. Love it and got my sister into it too. You’re right, can’t get too much of Jenny!
B Clark I m doing the same thing doing a back for a quilt l in joy sewing with Jenny.
Jenny I love to watch your videos. This is the third time I’ve watched this one, and it’s always fun. You are right, it’s like sewing with your best friend! When I sew I FaceTime my sisters and we sew “together” that way. You are so much fun!
Loved all of the old sayings.
OMG....This is so sweet! Sitting with you at your machine and listening to you talk throughout and share your thoughts on things....I almost feel like I'm sitting with you in that room, thank you SO much Jenny for putting your time, effort, and all the work that goes into this tutorial...seriously? the internet is unbelievable these days! and these types of tutorials are truly a delight...
We're so glad you enjoyed this tutorial, Ginger! Thank you for spending some time with us today! :)
Absolutely agree. Ginger Paxman
Felt the same. It was a more relaxed tutorial, feels more like a group sewing class:)😀

Ginger Paxman well put
A compliment to you Jenny - It is true watching your tutorials is like quilting with friends.
Loving the demo.... such a wonderful teacher.... genuine, authentic person. She makes you feel like you are genuine friend.
It’s like sitting next to a good friend Jenny. The colors in this quilt are so vibrant, lots of contrast.
How do I start to get a box every month. Can you tell me.

I am so glad that you admit you are challenged by angles! I am too.
It feels like we are having a sew day with a friend. :) Thank you.
I like to watch you do everything and not having a helper. We can keep up with you! Sew day with friends… Love it!
I much prefer the tutorial with just Jenny I agree with others that it makes it feel comfortable to keep up and not feel rushed. Hope you keep doing it this way. Love you MSQC
your daughter in law is precious , and she great at camera appearance,
OH JENNY!!!!! This is wonderful! It really is just like hanging out and sewing with a friend! Thank you so very much for spending time with us! ❤❤❤❤
Thank you Jenny. I am a newbie quilter at 59 and find the patterns very intimidating. Watching your videos makes it seem doable. 😁
Thank you Jenny. I love the fact that even a seasoned quilter can make errors. I loved the keeping me humble quote. Thank you again
Love You Jenny, Just being with you makes me feel wonderful & happy. I'm 76 and a quilter for 25 yrs., and always enjoy your ease at creating quilts, new & old. May God bless you and your family.
Ginger Paxman! You nailed it. I watched it while my sister and I texted. We're both doing the block of the month. I told sis that I felt like I was sitting across the table from her and getting a private lesson. So intimate! My first thought when I read the pattern was "Jenny doesn't usually waste that much fabric from a five inch square." I wasn't surprised when she had us make four half square triangles instead of just one! This is going to be so fun.

First off-I absolutely love Jenny. I learned to sew when I was very young but lost touch with it. Now that I am well into my 30s and starting to pick it up again, Jenny is the best at helping me refresh my own memory and learning new techniques. Thank you "sew" much Jenny for the wonderfully delightful videos.TIP: to save on fabric, instead of just cutting a 5 inch block down to a 3 inch block and wasting or scraping what was cut off, you can also create the 3 inch background squares the same way you created the half square triangles. Cut & sew 2 pieces of your 5 inch background squares together the same way as the half square triangles and trim accordingly.Now this tip only saves fabric not time. :)
Trish Eagle, you are *Brilliant*!! You're right, if you don't mind that extra diagonal seam in the corner squares, your way would totally work! Thanks!
~Diana K.
Or just use yardage same throughout a quilt? It never bothers me to cut up yardage into strips of various widths, thereby always having some correct sizes to hand.
I love that you are sitting in my living room talking to me from your sewing room. Your voice is so smooth and comforting. I am sure I can do this project with you. Love that you love what you do.
YES to this format which although longer allows u s newbies to review each step carefully and or rewind if we miss something.
This 1st month block will be awesome even if using stash fabrics or different colours.
I can see it being used for pillows, bags, table runners and placemats.
Best wishes from Geraldton Western Australia 🇦🇺💜🇺🇸💚💯😘
I will definitely wait to watch Jenny before making block 2. Is anyone coming to see Jenny on March 12 at 10am in Ocala, Fl? I cannot wait!
Looking forward to seeing you there, Julia!
Oh my goodness Jenny! You are amazing. Thank you for all of your time. I loved not wasting fabric by not cutting the squares down and having scraps! Then we have three more, yeah!! You make me smile, that’s an awesome thing in this day and age! Just keep the UA-cam coming sweetheart. Jenny again Thank You!
I absolutely ADORE the new format, the close up shots at the machine, and the ironing board, and the details. You guys have definitely stepped up with a huge improvement in production quality. KUDOS!! I think that you should do all future tutorials this way.
OMG.....Jenny, you are fantastic. I like the office setting. You seem much more comfortable sitting. Since 1990 when I started sewing I've never joined a block of the month subscription. Now I am with this one. Give thanks to your crew behind the camera too. Quilting (and you!) has drastically changed my PTSD for the better and. God bless. Dan :)
Thanks so much, Dan! Glad to have you as part of the Missouri Star family, and hope you'll enjoy the next months of videos like this one!
I love Misty but with you doing everything yourself it gives a better idea of the things we will encounter in our own sewing experience. Great job!!!! I love it.
I love misty too but I can’t watch her tutorials because Jake keeps interrupting with stupid comments. They interfere with the flow of the tutorial and I lose track of her instructions. I’m sure Jake is a wonderful person but I just can’t stand his interruptions. Truly I’m not trying to be mean by bashing Jake but only trying to offer constructive criticism to make misty’s videos better - for me anyway.
@@hildiborkowski4436 It's filmed Live so Jake reads the comments people are posting as it goes along. That is how UA-cam Live works. It's not HIS stupid comments. He reads the comments that people are posting while they are watching. It is posted and stays on UA-cam After the live
I agree totally. I love your sewing room. Nice natural lighting in there too.
I love that I can visit with you, Jenny, without using a mask and I can sit up close to the screen. Hurrah!
Jenny, I absolutely LOVE your videos!!! I'm just starting the quilting game and you are such a BIG help! I'm going to start practicing by making my veterinarian little pet blankets and exam table covers when doing procedures. I LOVE how you teach us to use every scrap, as I like you, hate to waste anything! I just found your crumb quilting video the other day and that's exactly what I'll be doing with all the scraps that I've saved from sewing over the years! Thank you and keep up the good work!!
This quilt makes me smile. Bright and cheerful and made with a smile as well. Thank you Jenny!!!
Love this format, it feels more calming and personal with just you talking to us through the blocks.
Prefer this than the larger space you usually film in. Thank you for sharing your talent. Hugs from Sydney Australia 🇦🇺.

I really loved sitting and sewing with you today, Jenny! Even though I was working on my baby’s quilt and not the block of the month. Thanks for keeping me company! 💕💕💕
Great video! Love the clowns hidden by the flowers. Quilt is FUN!!
A ray of sunshine on a rubbish day weather awful and chest infection and asthma playing up so on steroids and antibiotics. Between the beautiful quilt in the background and your tutorial I don’t feel so miserable 😃 some say I’m easy pleased but it does feel like listening to a friend rather than a daunting teacher. Go Jenny!! Weather horrible in Scotland I hope it’s nicer across in Missouri x
Thanks for letting us into your day today, Liz! It's a bit grey here today, but still nice out. Hope you get some nicer weather, too!
Watched the tutorial 3 X's... think I'm ready!
Jenny is as the BEST tutorial of yours (or any else's )! I live in a rural area with no quilting stores or classes. This really was like sewing each hst with a friend. I LOVE this format. It is exactly what I need for guidance and to build confidence. Thank you SO, SO much. I just (applied) joined the Facebook group. I am so excited. You have given me the confidence that I needed to get started.
Thanks for the video. Can’t wait to get back home and sew up my block. Don’t think I need the instruction, but will LOVE spending some time quilting with you.
Great tutorial! Love the format and I love that Jenny talks so casually. She makes me feel like a friend has come over to show me how to make this block for a new quilt pattern she just got. I'm 52. Started quilting with a neighbor when I turned 50 and realized I didn't have a hobby. I always loved quilts and sewing things so naturally now I love to see quilts! Easy to follow format. And we can see that the block can be made in less than an hour. Love the personal studio, and window too. 😊 I would live to know how Jenny stores all her tools....and rulers. A tour would be great! Thank so much for being such an inspiration and so fun to watch.
Really enjoyed this and totally get the orientation and angles issue. Me TOO! I am almost done piecing my first quilt from your tutorial "Hidden Hearts." I joined our church group about 3 years ago to hand quilt. Our circle is very small due to so many "aging out." Those left are in their 70s, 80s and 90s. I am the youngest (61) and am now putting the quilts up in frames and marking quilts, something I had NEVER done before. So now piecing is my new challenge. I LOVE your tutorials and really feel I can do most of them - even with my sewing challenges. I have never been the greatest seamstress. But in one video you mentioned that it is just a lot of practice. So I took that advice to heart and with practice and a lot of seam ripping, I am slowly getting one top near finished. Sure glad I found your videos!!
I love that you show how to get extra blocks out of the pattern. I've gotten into making scrappy backs from the leftover fabrics for my quilts and those blocks can be worked right in!
Also known as an afterquilt 😘 I try to think of it as extra practice
I love Jenny and I love the format! I have watched a lot of UA-cam videos on quilting and Missouri always is far the best. Other BOM you don't get the patterns unless you purchase ... not the case here and I believe that is why Jenny is so successful.
This was fun! Let’s do it again. I always look on MSQ first to decide what quilt I want to make next.Stars are it ! Thanks
I had never thought of quilting until I stumbled on her UA-cam videos. I got the courage to start quilting by watching your tutorials! Because of Jenny I've done 9 quilts in 2 years!
How do we order the block of the month.

I have got to say that I love everything about this video. Your real,and humorous and just a joy to learn from. Looking forward to the next one!!
I like it when it is just you teaching. It is less confusing for my brain. Thanks for the great tutorial!
I love your sewing studio. It's so bright and cheery, like you. This is just like sewing together like you said! I still haven't figured out why patterns have you cut the material and then do HSTs instead of doing it your way.
I like this better seeing the block made from beginning to end. I'm a visual learner.
Just signed up! So EXCITED!!! The last quilt I made was a doll quilt with my great grandmother when I was 8 years old. That was 40 years ago. I’ve been wanting to quilt for years and now that my nest is emptying I figure it’s the perfect time to get started. 😁
So much fun! Thanks Missouri Star! I live a bit remotely and going into town to a class just wouldn't not happen but this is the next best thing! I love this!
Thank you Jenny, your tutorials is my entertainment daily in my house.
Love love this way you are doing this series. So relaxed and you make it feel like it’s a one on one class of friends sewing. ❤️ 🧵🧵
I enjoyed this tutorial very much! It’s nice to see the experts have to think about angles and seams too. Thank you!
A tip for coping with BOMs. I use scrapbook project boxes that are about 14x14”. They are made from hardened plastic. I keep all blocks, any usable scraps, and pattern instructions in labeled project boxes so everything is kept together
I just love this video. It is so nice to sew along with you Jenny. You are a wonderful teacher. Can't wait for next month of the block. Thank you again. Happy sewing.
Your delivery was terrific. Watched first whole session then repeated and sewed along with you. Love extra blocks. Mahalo, for the format.
Thank you for sharing a thriftier way of cutting this star out. I am excited that I can make three more stars! I always love your tutorials!
Love the location and full block tutorial. You’re just so real, you really make me feel like I can do this.
I love this format! Such fun to watch. I fell in love with quilting over 30 years ago while watching a friend's mother in Mexico sew patches of old clothes together. I was fascinated as it reminded me of a blanket my siblings and I used to fight over as little kids that our own grandmother had made. We had no clue it was a quilt. We just knew it was so soft, warm and comfy.
Jenny, look how FANCY you are with your new studio and the production quality makes you look like a movie star 🌟! Thanks for the inspiration you’ve given me since I started quilting in 2015. I’ve sewn for over 50 years, but you inspired me to try quilting. Quilting is the BEST therapy! Thanks to you and your family 🤗🤗🤗
Absolutely love this format. Have been watching you since 2015 and this just made so much click with me. Thank you
This is Debbie. Jenny, you are such a character! It's so much fun to watch your tutorials! Thank you for the wonderful inspiration you always give me!
It's very relaxing to watch you sew and explain!
Jenny I love this new sewing space! It’s so fresh, clean and bright as I sit here on a cold rainy day. I can’t wait to watch you do the rest of the blocks -what a wonderful year this will be 💕
What a lovely video! Also, you are just so generous with all your help. Other Block of the Month patterns are designed to keep measurements secret so you have to buy them. You just want people to enjoy sewing and so you share everything. Thank you so much x
This was great! What a wonderful way to show how to do the block and how to have three more blocks waiting for another project!
Love all your tutorials! Jenny you have changed quilting forever, just imagine a whole town devoted to making quilts!
Thank you so much, fun hanging out with you while I sew.
I can see making an entire quilt with this one block. Thank you for the video.
This was fun to sit here and sew with you. I really enjoyed the one on one so to speak. I wouldnt change a thing. I love Misty but we don't have a helper so fun to watch you.
So sweet of you to show this to us. Sometimes we all need to see it being done in order for us to understand. Love your tutorials. Thank you.
This is definitely one of my favorites of your videos. I follow someone else who also sits and sews sometimes and it's just so nice to be able to sew together. Right now, I'm putting together 48 rag quilt squares, (thanks for that tutorial BTW) and it's great to sit here with you and work on that. I love that it's this long too because I don't want to stop every 5 or 8 minutes to find a new video. I love Sew Alongs. I hope to see more of these. I can't praise this enough. Thank you so much.
Hi, Jyl! We're noticing a lot of love for this format, too! Thanks for joining us while you sew!
Jenny, thank you for this tutorial, laughs and giggles. It was wonderful to spend the time with you today. I’ve been quilting 1.5 years so still a “newbie”. I really had a great time and love your enthusiasm and happiness you spread to your friends. I can’t wait to watch the next video. I love spending time with you, Natalie and Misty. You all are amazing! 🌸💖💖💖🌸
Thank you! You have such a vibrant fun personality, love watching your videos!
It's like you're one of our quilting friends! Love to watch your tutorials, but this was even BETTER!! Thank you so much!
This reminds me of the first and original tutorials you used to make. I really love the personal touch and the fact that you walk us through each step just like you used to do. I fell in love with quilting watching Eleanor Burns but I LEARNED to quilt watching Jenny Doan.
I love that you want people to love it as much as you do! Thanks!
Last night I was sewing on my quilt, I am doing the prairie flower, I was having so much fun, I didn't realize I had been sewing the entire night long and I like the idea wear you said to roll our shoulders a bit because when I got up from the machine I was hurting so bad, I had to take aspirin. lol I can hardly wait to finish the quilt to send you a photo as I got the pattern from you.
I didn't buy this BOM but I enjoyed watching this tutorial. Thank you, Jenny.
I love this format!! Wonderful to see how the whole block comes together and especially great for less experienced quilters. Thank you for doing this!
Loved the format. It really is much more of a learning experience. Thanks a lot Jenny.
This is excellent! I am a visual learner. I love and need the step by step. Thank you 🥰
Loved watching Jenny sew and explain/chat -
Jenny- I so enjoyed this video! Ive only been quilting for two years, so I have a lot to learn. I attempted HST before I was ready for them, when I first started out. The results were not the best. After watching this video I think I'm ready to try again. I'll be saving the upcoming tutorials and using fabric from my already large MSQC stash to develop my skills for each block. Thank you again. This was fun. Hopefully next year you'll do another block of the month project and I can join the club then, after I use up some of my current fabric stash.
Jenny, I too am angled challenged. When we’re traveling and using a map, I rotate the whole map when we make a left or right turn! Lol!
Just ordered mine. Will catch up as soon as it gets here. Great video. Learn so much when I watch Jenny.
Thank you for sewing along with us, David! We're thrilled you enjoyed this All Stars Block of the Month tutorial! :)
"HOLY MOLLY " love♡ the new video. I especially love the camera placement.
I loved sewing with you today. Thank you .
When I did mine, I used what I had at hand. I did stack the parts of the stars and went down the stack. I got them finished in record time. The colors don't match yours but I love them. All 4 stars done and done.
💯👍
It was really a little bit like sewing time with friends. I enjoyed watching you doing all the steps instead of just showing short tutorials (don't get me wrong. I love them,too, when I want to learn new technics). Thank you so much for the first block.
Lots of greetings from Germany
I really like the concentration on constructing a single block. Love your channel!!!
Thanks Jenny, you make everything so much more enjoyable. Since my mom passed away, I'm sewing by myself. Thanks for hanging out with me in my sewing room:)
It’s so relaxing watching you work and listening to your happy talk 😍
I like the format with you doing the whole process. It is how most of us sew at home, not with someone else trimming and pressing. I wish I had these tutorials when I was a beginner, but I still learn so much from you, thank you🥰
I'm so glad you told us the name of your machine because I was wondering and straining my eyes to try and catch the name . Lol I love your way of teaching Jenny because I can learn so much from you. I don't understand some of the other quilters way of teaching but I always get what your saying . Love you so , so much !! I watch all your tutorials over and over just for fun. Soon I will be able to quilt again. Thank you so much .❤❤❤
Thank you for showing us your "nest". This format helps us to follow you without our reinventing what we think is your setup. How efficient!!
This is just so nice. Doesn't matter that it's not the quickest tutorial. I think it's so calming squaring up blocks, happy to watch you do it. In to the zone. Lots of love to the all of you ❤
I loved the long version of block making. Loved the chat too.
The video is the best! I'm very visual and it makes so much more sense than the directions provided. Thanks!
Enjoyed every minute of your video. Love that you’re a “make-do kind of girl,” by the way-and just so pleasant and cheerful. ❤️
Thank you so much for including a low waste way to construct the half-square-triangles. I've already ordered background fabric
so I can finish the other three stars from this month's block. Got a late start today, so have only completed half the block, but it
looks fabulous. In the year that I've been doing patchwork, one of the most important things I've learned is not to over-press. These
pieces fit together wonderfully without the distortion of too much pressing!
Love spending time with with Jenny. It is like sewing with friends.
