When I made this, I squared the HST to 9 inches which takes away the need to worry about being so accurate with the initial sewing and cutting and still makes a nice big quilt.

I can't tell you how thrilled I am that you made a tutorial about this block! For months I've been admiring this block, but every time I found directions for it, they were so confusing - probably because I'm new to quilting. In any event, I've started my Grand Adventure quilt and it couldn't be easier. Thank you so much, Jenny, for showing us that we CAN do it!

Jenny here is a great tip. When using the tape put it on the back side of your ruler. The edge of the tape will then act as a guide against the fabric and make cutting more accurate.

Why did I never think of ironing the sew line. I have been drawing it forever. Thanks Jenny.

I've been dying to try Delectable Mountain for some time now... Oh my gosh I have some gorgeous fall prints and deep rich colors... I'm totally jazzed now! Thanks Jenny and crew! Outstanding!

Hi Jenny, I just quilted a quilt like this for a lady and loved it! She told me about your tutorials and here I am watching and loving them all!! I from Mountain Home Arkansas, but maybe some day I'll make it up to see your shop. Keep the tutorials coming---I'm going to watch them all!!!!

[mariod]

Grand indeed....fabulous....thanks again

[cherylhornby]

Oh my goodness, first time watching this, I thought it would be a jelly roll quilt. The cutting is so genius!

[juliekaller]

Jenny, you are the best teacher. I love your videos and your enthusiasm for the projects you show us. Don't ever stop!

[robynclarke]

Hello Jenny, your new quilt is just so beautiful. I so look forward to each new quilt. Just so exciting to see what you come up with next. I'm putting this one on my list.

I've always wanted a Native American quilt. Thanks Jenny for showing me the mountain block. Your video will be in my file forever as one of my faves from you. I love you. Thank you.

This is a great tutorial! I did get confused when Jenny said that after the squares were cut in half there would be two stacks of 20. Once I watched the entire video, I figured out it would have teen two stacks of 40. Jenny is great and specks so clearly and concise. Loved shopping at her stores! A must see for any quilter!

[marilew]

I love the quilt and I love the fabric line!!!

[elainemoulson]

Watching Jenny makes me feel like I can do anything even though I have only been quilting a few month.Best wishes from London.

This is awesome!! I saw a diagram of this w/numbered strips and the steps from squares to half triangles etc. Being a linear visual thinker, seeing how the numbered strips were organized and sewn together was great, and watching you assemble the squares was icing on the cake. I love it!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge, tips and trick with us. Where would we be without you Jenny? ❤️

This really is a beautiful design, and the added "snowballed" strips on the outside edges just completes the pattern. And those fabrics really blend gorgeously together. LOVE IT! ~Diana from Toronto (p.s. I did some math for those who might rather cut their own background fabric from yardage, and 3+3/4yards ought to do it!)

[ladyjay]

WOW what a beautiful quilt....Love it.

[angelheart]
