Just listened to Jenny on the Without Fail podcast. I have no idea about quilting but everybody loves a success story. Jenny and her family are inspirational, true American dreamers!!!

Has to be the fastest tutorial yet! And, wow, what a great pattern, too. Fast tutorial, fast quilt. Now to find some fun fabric! Love this, Jenny and crew. You guys did a great job of expediting this lesson into the necessary bits without taking a lot of time. And, yet, I'm almost disappointed...that it wasn't a wee big longer, because I absolutely LOVE spending Friday evenings with Missouri Star Quilt tutorials. I look forward to 9 pm (California time). Now, to await that Daily Deal! :-D

I was just thinking, if you took the block and paired it with a “fish” block, it would be a really good fishing quilt! Especially, with a little appliqué worm! Now that would be a cute little quilt.

Then I heard you say, “this would be good for a fisherman! I guess “great” minds think alike! Lol

Nice ! You are hooked on blues as well.. I love yellow myself.
Thank you so much for all of your videos. Much appreciated.

Would you ever consider doing a tutorial on the Lemoyne Trails quilt? I saw it for the first time On Pintrist and fell in love with the design. It looks hard to do, but I bet you could make it easier for us!😊 Thanks so much for making quilting so easy and enjoyable!

If you used a red and white striped fabric and turned it upside down it could look like candy canes.

I prefer to think of this quilt as 'Birds flying

[GregECarson]

Love it! Jenny even notes what color sweater to wear for the tutorial! She thinks of everything! (freeze frame at 1:46)

What size are you trimming the HST?...I’m definitely going to be making this! 👍🏻💕

[peterbarnstien]

What size are you trimming the HST to?

[mistygardner]

Reminds me of a crochet hook. Pretty cool!

[joycheek]

Love your tutorial. Can you do a lone star or a Texas star someday please?

[mtherne]

thank you, great tutorial. If the top right was turned so white triangle in, you'd have a pac man lol

[sallylines]

Great video again! Many thanks Jenny and your awesome team too! I was lucky enough to see you at the NEC in Birmingham England this month and was so moved by your trunk show and what you can do with a half square triangle know no bounds 🥰. Sally 🤗

[julieanneherrick]

Don'tcha just love all the things you can do with half square triangles? Wonders never cease. Thanks for the inspiration, Jenny!

*reads instruction sheet at **1:39* Sweater color: Blue sweater --- When putting this together, we have to wear a blue sweater? :)

nonono...come back and put them in a different order! do they form a windmill, a star, a cube?

[ellenthompson]

Thanks for showing the block elements in progress; that helps me visualize how the parts go together. This block is fairly simple but more complicated ones sometimes are a puzzle!

[wendycameron]

Yet another lovely quilt ..I live in England and have just found a shop that sells your templates, my friends and i have also bought subscriptions to your block books brilliant thank you
