We have lots of questions about how to make this bigger. With precuts it is pretty easy. 1 pack of strips makes a small twin/ lap and 2 is going to make a double/small queen. You can then border them to make to make them as big as you need, or buy another pack! I hope this helps!
yes i was thinking about making a king for my daughter she is wanting a scrappy quilt and i think this one will be perfect thank you so much!
Jenny this is really fun how can send you pics of my quilt of this key hole pattern I want to show that I learned from you
I really love the simplicity of this quilt. I cut my strips at 6 1/2”according to the instructions, but since my edges were pinked, the strip sets of 3 were slightly larger than 6 1/2”. If I were to make this again, I’d probably cut 4 strips at 7” so there’s some wiggle room. I don’t ordinarily use pre-cuts and didn’t realize how hard it is to be accurate even when you conscientiously sew 1/4” from the “valley”s. All in all, quick and fun. Thanks.
It’s now 2024 and I still love this quilt! With all the fabrics, jelly rolls, layer cakes, etc. we have new every year, this quilt could be made over and over and never have a duplicate! Thus would be a great donation quilt for my quilt guild without the borders - our charity works with children in crisis ages from very small through around 16-17 and these quilts are not intended for a bed (although they could be)! They are meant for something personal that they can carry, sleep,under or whatever they choose so we don’t make any larger than about 48”-50” wide and about 605”-65” inches long at the most as we have no idea the children’s ages when the time comes for donating (either Sept. or Oct.). So many thanks to Missouri Star for all the wonderful quilts that have made and will keep on making!
It just blows my mind, why anyone would hit thumbs down. Why even watch video, if you don’t like the quilt. She does a great job, coming up each week with new quilt, a new tutorial..... for free! Geez, I wonder if the negative ninnies could do that. 🤦♀️
Linda R. Some people would give a thumbs down to a beautiful sun shiny day 🤷🏽♀️ just because they have that option
But I love Jenny’s tutorials
Linda R. You are sooooo right. I sew very much appreciate her ideas. Can not wait for Friday’s. I can not make all the ideas but sew love filling my mind with all this creativity!
Linda R. Probably someone who wants to make everything difficult so they feel better about their own work!
I was just thinking the same thing.
Linda w. Love this
I made this in deep ocean colors for my mother’s birthday last July. She loved it! She passed away last month and I’m so grateful I was able to give it to her and that it kept her warm and let her know I loved her. Thank you for the wonderful tutorials!
Had to save this one! A friend gave me 3 boxes of beautiful batiks. In one of the boxes were some (poorly) stitched keyhole blocks that I picked apart to re-do.
Hi Jenny, I just love the simplicity of this quilt. With that fabric it looks really "vintage" to me. This is now on my "to do" list, great for my planned picnics with my grand daughter 💕
I like that block and can see how the center could be a framed fussy cut. I think I will put in kitties for my grand kids.
I've really had fun with this pattern thankyou for you videos
I think it is vey cute with the matching print in the center. I know it was a "mistake", but I think that could be a really fun quilt. . .especially if they were staggered. Nice quilt Jenny! as always, great stuff!
Jenny, Thank You ! This is the perfect quilt/square to get my six years old granddaughter involve with. I'm always looking for
easy squares, being a beginner.
I just gifted my completed Keyholes quilt to a friend who just retired! She loved it! It turned out so beautifully! Easy and fun to make!
Great! Fun and easy quilt. Love the way Jenny utilizes the whole jelly roll
I've never heard of or seen this block before, but I do like it. To me it is different and unique. How in the world do you come up with all these great different blocks and tutorials is beyond me, but thank-you for sharing your time and knowledge with us ... and the cherry on top is the fact that it is free. God bless you and yours.
I absolutely love this key hole block. Your quilt that is hanging is beautiful Jenny.
Love it! I kinda like the colors also.
Jenny you always amaze with your easy tutorials. I have so many quilts on my list of things to do , don't know where to start, thanks for the inspiration !
Love this one! It looks so uncomplicated, and sometimes that's what I'm in the mood for. I have a strip set sitting on my sewing table that's calling to me, so I think I'll begin!
Several ladies in my quilting group have made this. I've just finished one. It goes together so easily using jelly rolls. I used two packs, one in beiges and the other in blues. Turned out beautifully. Instructions were super easy to follow! Thanks, Jenny, for sharing!
Oh, Jenny....you had me at "fast and easy"!! LOVE this...well, I love them all but there are some that I just know I won't be able to do. This one is moving right up to the top five...and yes, they are all yours!!
Thank you Jenny for an update on the Keyhole pattern from your 2011 tutorial.....love it.......
Yay! I was looking for an easy one to do! Perfect. And, yes, I agree it’s amazing there’s a new quilt every week.
What a beautiful quilt! I haven't seen this block before. I love all the borders. This fabric is wonderful.
OMG - I love this! I feel like I could use my 2 1/2in scrap squares and frame them up! What a great way to use scrap fabric to make a beautiful quilt!
Jenny, Thank you x Your tutorials are simply brilliant! I love this Keyhole pattern - it's a perfect project for all my scraps - Thank you xx
Another great quilt that has to go on my favorites list! Thanks Jenny!
What a fun block! Thanks Jenny!
THANK YOU! I have the perfect left overs for that! I love this quick and easy quilt. Perfect for me!
My goal this year is to make a dent in the fabric stash (stop laughing!) but i dont have jelly rolls... So that bundle of batik fat quarters has been cut into strips and sewn into blocks. Love the result and i have a decent size quilt, without adding borders. Another quick project ready for quilting! Thank you!
This is a lovely project. Love you Jenny!
So cute! And if you need a quick quilt for a baby shower, you could make one Giant block with maybe 10 inch squares in the middle with a couple different borders? Also have several 5" blocks in the middle ( from charm packs?) for a long table runner!! Ack! So excited to get into my new house so that I can sew while my kids are working on their homeschool lessons in the same bright sunny big room!!!
Looks very quick and easy! Another added to my quilting bucket list
I love this. I really enjoy working with jelly rolls so this will be a fun one to make.
Brilliant! Cutting one up day! Thanks Jenny!
I saw this pattern years ago at an auction and loved it. They put two together and then 2 stacked underneath. Back and forth if you know what I mean. Anyway I've been making one and didn't realize it was called keyhole! 😂 💗 Using crumbs for the centre strip. I can see how yours would be quicker. 👍
This quilt is darling! Looks like a very quick one to make.
Thank you so much Jenny, that’s a really really stunning and gorgeous quilt you have there. I really really love 💕 the fabric you used it’s really really stunning and gorgeous too.stay safe and well too xxx Mags
❤️❤️ it’s so nice to have a simply beautiful quilt.
Can't wait to make this quilt, thanks for your help. Jean K
Thank you! Love your video s!
Beautiful! Love the ease of the pattern.
One of the first quilts I saw was a keyhole quilt, although at the time I didn't know what it was called. Some gal was at a local fabrics store where I sometimes shop and she was looking for backing to match her quilt top. Her quilt's colorway was browns and blues. Absolutely stunning. I was a newbie quilter and so I just could not figure out how she made the blocks. They reminded me of tissue boxes, to be honest. Anyway, once again, Jenny, you have solved a quilting mystery for me. Definitely putting this one on my to-do list. Thanks for the great tutorial. :-D
muggee52 I made one for my son-in-law. We always called it the Kleenex box quilt. He is a trucker so the quilt has been all over the country. More well traveled than the maker of the quilt.
I've been looking for this quilt pattern for a while now...thanks so much Jenny!
I was going to do a Hole in the Wall quilt as my next project but after seeing this tute I think
maybe this will be it.. Love it Jenny...
I’ve been searching for a quick a quick and easy quilt and this is perfect! Thanks for another amazing tutorial!
Now I know what to do with the jelly roll I've been wondering what to do with. 😃❤️Thanks Jenny!
Love this keyhole quilt
Love the the simplicity of the block. This would be great for those left over jelly roll strips and yardage you have.
Ian going to make this pattern now with one of your jelly rolls. Thank you for making your patterns so easy
It so easy to make. I am in the middle of doing this quilt. Thank you Jenny
Love it - and how simple it is to put together! So beautiful!

Just love this keywhole quilt. Good tutorial Jenny!
This is adorable! I can’t wait to see it in a sweet jelly roll I have for a special person.
Hi Jenny and thanks a million for another great tutorial! The quilt is gorgeous! 😎🌸
Jenny, você é espetacular! Simpática, amo demais todos os seus trabalhos!!!!!
Another blessing as always🌷🌷🌷
Love all of the tutorials by the way. I have learned much from Jenny & MSQCo ! Thank you

Patricia Scoble I was thinking the same thing! Quick and easy
Thank you Jenny. I can not wait to make this quilt.
Another great tutorial 2 1/2” strips! Thank you!
Thank you again for the great quilt pattern. Love it.
Love this! I am pretty sure even I can do this. Thanks for another great tutorial!
Love this pattern. Plan to try it soon.
Inspiring Jenny, I have a jelly roll that I have been looking for a pattern for that visually looked different from just strips and this is fab!
Beautiful
Wonderfull Jenny as allways
Thank you
Very cute! I just bought this pattern! I was hoping you would do a tutorial on this one!!!Going to make a baby quilt for my new grand daughter!!!!
perfect never thought about a baby quilt thanks ,my girls have been asking me to make baby quilts for co-workers and friends thanks for the great tip!
Você é demais te admiro sempre acompanho seus trabalhos, obrigada
Thank you for another fun tutorial.
Awwww..... I just love this!!!!
I love how easy this quilt is to put together. Thanks, Jenny for another great tutorial.
This is not Dennis commenting, it’s his wife Sharon. Anyway, funny but when I first saw this quilt, it reminded me of a light switch plate. Definitely a good way to use up pieces.
Adorei. Apesar de não entender o inglês, entendi suas explicações. Acredito que o patchwork está alem das fronteiras. Beijos
Roetta Walls Lexington Ky I just love the paper it really makes your project go faster.
LOVE THIS
Jenny, I cannot tell you how many tutorials of yours I have watched. Well today I am starting to make a keyhole top that will become my dining room tablecloth I have been searching for the right one to use as a tablecloth and I have found it. I have a bunch of fabric mostly from the same collection and I am using that. I will send a photo when I finish it. I don't want whites in this because of spills from greatgrandsons. I love them dearly, but coe on, use a darker color when you have little ones around. It wont stain as easily.
Now I know what to do with my collections of jelly rolls!
Great idea again for strips yeah jenny
Looks like alight switch to me☺️
I have some Halloween fabric that would be perfect for this pattern. So quick and easy.
Very economical use of jellyrolls!
What an adorable quilt! Another quilt to add to my 'future' quilt making projects. I'd probably sash the whole thing, so the 'keyhole' blocks would pop, somewhat like "Illusion Quilt"....wouldn't that look awesome? Keyholes floating?? :)
Sew fun! ❤️
I'm first finally! Love the quilt... Quick and easy.... Love that!

lovely Jeanny
Encantador.
So cute
J'adore.merci
Very cute
...to make the inside 'keyhole' more scrappy, could one make a 'tube' strip set using 6 jelly roll strips, then just pick it apart, at different intervals (like bargello), so that you have more variety within the 3 little squares that make up the keyhole part?
I understand what you are saying D H...I'm sure you can make the center anyway you want. Maybe one fabric center, a fussy cut piece, or two fabric block, etc. Being creative and going outside the box makes it fun. Strips sewn together and cut on the diagonal would be nice too.
Great idea, D H! I think you can totally do that. Or instead of strip sets, just cut 2.5" pieces from the remainder of each jelly roll strip, and randomly sew 3 together for each of the 35 blocks... and the middle border (it's not *that* much extra work! ;-D). This easy-but-delightful pattern is definitely going on my "must make" list, to be made with all my jelly rolls from MSQC. ~Diana from Toronto
Candee Rose oooooh.. I LOVE that idea.... Cutting them at an angle!!!
That's a great idea!!
Great quilt - took me all day today but so worth it - it looks fab in pinks and lilacs
Love this, gonna make with Hawaiian fabrics
So we're cutting the same three color strips sewn together that go in the center for the 6.5" strips as well and we'll be mixing them all up from other strip sets? Would you say the outer border is a 5" or 5.5" one? I'm trying to look at the 2.5" inner white strip and guess from there. It's a really pretty quilt! Thanks for the tutorial!
It sounds like you'll be cutting 6" length from strips (4 for each block) and then sewing three other strips together and cut them 2 1/2" to be used for the center. The outer border (red) looks to be 5". If the keyhole block finishes 6" @ seven blocks across and then add the three 2 1/2" border strips that totals 54" wide, then add 5" wide border to measure off at 63 finished.
I have a bunch of fat quarters I'm going to use to make this. It can be done with a jelly roll, fat quarter and any fabric of choice. Personally, I'm going to make mine a bit larger seeing as I have a lot of same collection of fat quarters.
I hope this helped you out. Happy Quilting!!
Thank you Candee Rose! That is exactly right! I love when quilters are so willing to help others!
I think the first cut for the print strips should be 61/2”. If you sew three 21/2” strips together accurately, they should come out to 61/2”. Now, mine usually don’t come out that accurately, but I think that’s the size they are supposed to be.
You are correct Linda. The strips need to be 6 1/2" I had to have had the "finished" measurements in mind. Thank you! Happy Quilting!
Okay I'm just going to cut the border strips at 5.5" wide so it will end up at 5" finished. Thank you ladies for your help!
cute!
I just adore you, Jenny! I really want to start quilting but I am not sure where to start. What would you recommend for a beginner?
We love our Jenny! Another great quilt. How wide is the outer print border, please?
Jenny, I see you using an amazing array of rulers in your projects but - being someone with a limited income - I just wanted to know what is the basic combination of rulers you would suggest is absolutely necessary ?
Love the quilt and am making it right now! One question - how did you come up with the duck quack at the beginning of each tutorial? I love it!!!
Love this one, too! Which BL machine are you using?? It sews soooo fast! Is it the BL Jane??
Hi Michele! It is the Jane. It's great for sewing straight lines quickly!
❤️
Just a thought but the block you made looks like the number 8. That could be done with all the blocks and called a Crazy 8 quilt.😃
