Triple Play: How to Make 3 NEW Block Star Quilts - Free Quilting Tutorial

Triple Play is a favorite tradition here at Missouri Star Quilt Company. Once a month, Jenny, Misty, and Natalie each demonstrate their own unique spin on a favorite block, technique, or template. In this episode, the talented Doan ladies show off three fabulous new Block Star quilt patterns + 2 bonus projects.

Jenny's Mini Block Stars quilt is made with precut layer cake squares. Her fabric is Flora and Fun Ten Squares by Subhashini Narayanan for Robert Kaufman, and she uses the scraps to make 2nd project--a sweet pinwheel baby quilt.

Misty's Star Box quilt is made with jelly roll strips from the Tradewinds collection by Renee Nanneman for Andover Fabric. These coordinated stars pop on a neutral background for a look that's clean and classic.

Natalie's Sunflower Stars quilt is a layer cake pattern made with Homemade 10" Stackers
by Echo Park for Riley Blake. These blocks are rounded with snowballed corners, and there are plenty of scraps for a bonus table runner.

I would love to see a triple play where you all use the same fabric but different patterns.

Once Jenny pointed out the cat shape with Natalie's quilt block, that's all I was seeing! However, I love cats! I have all kinds of cat stuff in my home, and we have two feline family members. It was such a fun episode, the fabric Natalie chose was my favorite. Thank you for the new quilt ideas. Great tutorial.

Happiness is...
Tired from long day and a triple play video pops up yayyyy 😊

You are a wonderful lady. When my husband passed I ran across your Utub and started quilting. You brought me comfort in a dark adventure of my life, I am now 13 years later comfortable and the quilts I have made. Thank you for being my friend. Eileen from Pasco, Wa state. I will continue to watch your sweet girls and pray for you and Ron.

You would think that after 45 years of quilting this old dog couldn’t learn anything new. This technique, to make small stars, is so creative. Someone may have seen it before, but it’s totally new to me.

My tip…if you have a huge pile of half square triangle to square up and can’t do them in one sitting, cut off the dog ears only after they’re squared. That way when you come back in a day, week, etc., you know where you’re at in the process.

My first quilt was a log cabin. I made all my fabric into long strips, went to the quilt shop, and sewed ALL blocks at once. I made that queen size quilt in that one day! This video brings back sweet memories!

All i see in Natalies are the cute kitty heads! I love them!

[privateinfo]

It takes a long time for me to make a quilt. It blows my mind how many quilts these ladies have to make.

[sandrasaddleman]

Always enjoy triple play. One usually clicks in my brain & then it makes it easier to understand the other two.

[lindafurlow-patty]

I can't unsee the kitties now! Cute.

[gleehanson]

Why do I feel like we're friends???? It's because the way you ladies communicate. You make us feel included! Thank you and, oh, Jenny, your tiny piece here is exquisite 😍

Watching at 4:30 am with no sleep yet, this is getting pretty math-y for me, Jenny!

[marshawallace]

I really like to make baby quilts at least the size of Natalie's quilt. Most parents aren't using quilts in cribs so the larger size is great as a floor play mat and they can still snuggle with it as they grow. All three quilts are wonderful. I especially like the smaller stars in Jenny's quilt and how she incorporated the border fabric in the top row. That caught my eye immediately. Thanks for sharing your talents with all of us❣️

[Elainemorriscvg]

Cheri's tiny is rubbing off on you. Love the tiny stars.

[theresegrillo]

I will never unsee the cats. Thanks Jenny! 😊

[AlisaStepp]

I love to watch you girls I just started quitting and I made the chandelier for my first quilt .i watched Jenny make it 50 times 😂

[Streeth]

I love triple play day….I get so excited to sit and just engross myself in your cool ideas! I think you should have a special deal on all 3 of the patterns as a bundle! I always love each of the projects…but usually have a favorite that I lean towards….this time I just loved them all!

[maryl]

Team work you can get that king size quilt for you . 🎉

After Jenny said that about Natalie's quilt looking like kitty heads when I look at it that's what I was seeing and being a cat lover (we have 5 in our house....2 are mine and my husband's, 1 is my daughter's, and 2 are my granddaughter's since they live with us. We had 6 but I had to put my sweet oldest cat to sleep because she had cancer and was starting to suffer 😢) I loved the cat head idea 😊. Thanks again for great ideas from all of you. God bless you all.
