Jenny what i love most about you is that you make mistakes and just laugh and go on, that is the way most of us quilters should be,,,thanks for being such a great friend, I am 77 and love that you started your quilting life and invited all of us to join you,
You are 1 of the best teachers I have ever seen. You are not intimidating and the way you talk, it makes people think "I can do that". Thank you for all of the tutorials. You have no clue how much they help! Have a great day!
I saw a historical quilt that was made by "church ladies" during the Depression using what they had. They had newspaper pages! You can still use that - just make sure that the paper is old. Older ink cures and doesn't come off on the fabric. The "church ladies" left the paper on the back so now it shows the news of the day.
What a great way to use up all those strips. String quilts!!
Wanted to thank you for all your tutorials. They were a god send during my chemo treatments.
Oh My... I have not watch Jenny for some time.. always love Jenny and her approach in doing her things, now that all my 3 lovely kids has grown up and independent.. the phase of motherhood, time to sew and do my patchwork and quilting!! Freedom ..
I stopped sewing when my children were babies. My youngest is now 14. I'm addicted to your videos. You're inspired me. You are the Bob Ross of quilting. I sew ALL the time now. Thank you!
How can you not love what Jenny does? She is awesome and the most lovable teacher. Thanks Jenny.
I totally agree with u

I just love Jenny Doan. She always reminds me that sewing should be simple and fun. If it gets to complicated--just take a step back and watch one of her videos. Breath of fresh air.
I just want to tell you, since the first video on Dresden Plates, I watched, you have been my favorite. You make things fun, I smile while watching and talk back to you, every time. You have defiantly inspired me. Thank you for all your videos.
.... always good to see Jenny demonstrate a technique... these stripes look great and the easy block looks as good as anything else more complicated. As always with Jenny a great tuturial... many thanks
Hi Jenny,
In 1992 I made a quilt like that I still have it it was my first one and I had never quilted before.My dog sleeps on it on my bed every night. I made it on muslin but the papers are so much better.Richt now I am doing a scrap quilt on old phonebook papers.
Love scrap piecing but I will order the papers for sure.
Thanks so much for showing this to us.
Happy scrapping,
Yoka
Love the Missouri Star tutorials! I am new to quilting, so I formed a sewing circle called Chorus Quilters. We are making lap quilts to donate to those in need. We have an amazing amount of donated fabric and this is the perfect solution to make use of them. We love you jenny!
More I see the others... more i say: Miss Jenny you are the best and only.
Jenny got my paper the other day. Took to my Stitch In with my friends. Started on this had 4 big sqares done in 20 minutes. Just ordered more paper for friends. Thank you so much. Mary
I love this tutorial so much that I made two king size quilts with all my scraps! I loved using them all up it was so much fun! I combined all seasons and colors so it is very scrappy and colorful with the X and O!
Wow, that's some serious scrap busting! That's wonderful!! :)
did all your strips and corner strip line up
@@ruthfreeman864 I don't think it would matter too much as long as it sits nice and flat from good ironing techniques
Jenny, I love the way you encourage us to be creative on our own. Many tutorials make you feel like you need to do exactly what they do, but not you. You're a wonderful teacher.
My mother and grandmother made me a string quilt top using the scraps from the clothes I sewed for my kids, mixed with scraps from their sewing. It is very bright and random. They used cloth foundation squares to make it more secure, as grandma was in her 80's at the time. It has become this issue of overthinking for me, keeping me from actually quilting it up! I finally got started on the pillow shams. This has been in my sew room for at least ten years! 😳 with mixed color ways it really doesn't look good with any binding I have tried. Finally, thank you Jenny, I watched a video on self binding, and that is what I am going to do. These are a great way to memorialize scraps.
Carole I am thrilled to hear that you have found a way to finish the quilt made by your mom and grandmother. Memories last a lifetime and you will now those memories to keep you warm both figuratively and literally. How wonderful is that?!
String quilt was my first quilt I made as a kid. The blocks were diamond shaped and they were a material foundation. Loved it!
Thanks a lot! I’ve been watching your tutorials for 5 years and I still enjoy them very much. You’re always making it crystal clear and easy for us to make. 🌺🌸
Made this type of quilt a few decades ago and used white cotton as the base. No ripping paper in the end. Still pull it out every Christmas. Love your videos.
I just received my Missouri Star Quilt Co foundation papers today and have made two blocks. Wonderful! This is coming out great. Thanks so much, Jenny for your fantastic tutorials. You're the best.
I finished 16 blocks today (40" x 40" baby or lap quilt) and took off the paper. When I went to piece them together, I realized that I couldn't NEST the seams unless I repressed every other block in the opposite direction. What a job but worth it.
Theresa Skira Sashing is the answer! Jenny has sashing in the quilt behind her. I didn't think of it. This way, I don't have to repress half the blocks.
Ever since this tutorial I've become addicted to string quilts. There's so much variety and ways to sub cut your strings the possibilities are endless. Thank yo so much for all of your great tutorials Jenny. You've truly changed my life and introduced me to a wonderful, easier and fabulous way of quilting. I just think you're the greatest teacher out there!
I have always wanted to do fancy quilts ( thats what I call them) patch work is all I ever tryed until ur tutorials they are so easy with how u show them I have made several and can't wait to finish one to start another I work 7 days a week and don't have time to figuar out how to do them I just watch one of your totorials and bam I can do it thank you so much
Our Guild used this method to make quilts for charity/disaster relief and we used telephone book pages, so smaller blocks. The strips were of varied sizes and a very wide variety of prints and colors including some holiday and baby prints right in with everything else. Black sashing and borders tied it all together. Thanks so much for all the tutorials.
LOVE THE PAPER BACKING BECAUSE IT'S EASY TO STACK THE CUT BLOCKS BEFORE PIECING THEM ALL TOGETHER....CAN Have stacks and stacks of completed squares.
I so love the nice bright quilt behind you in this video. I'm on a bright stage at the moment. So what ever I make is in the bright fabrics.Love your tutorials all the way over here in New Zealand.
I seldom comment on tutorials but I must say that your tutorials are one of the best thing on the internet. I have quilted for over 30 years and still find your tutorials entertaining and informative. I always pick up some tip that helps me to be a more efficient quilter. But more so, your videos are so entertaining and uplifting. Keep them up!
Thank you so much Evelyn! Jenny works hard to make quilting easy and fun! We will definitely keep them up!
Started this with pink and orange scraps with a pop of yellow and it is gorgeous. My pieces are very colorful and of different sizes so it is definitely a scrap buster. I will finish the top for parish quilting ladies.
What a great idea. Thank you so much Jennie. I knew you were special from the very first tutorial that watched on CZcams and time has proved me right. You have a lovely family too.
Just Brought The Papers & Lapel Stick. Excited for a new project. A Lady in my quilt class made one but with different sized scraps. I loved it & wanted to make it myself. She did it old school way with phonebook paper but theses are easier for me.
Oh, Another One To Make! Can't wait! Thanks for yet another great quilt that's easy. And we also use up our scraps!!
You are Amazing and I just love your channel. I've been sewing for decades but new to quilting and every video I watch gives me inspiration. Thank you for all you do. Blessings to you and your family.
Good point, this type of string piecing is more spontaneous and can allow us to truly RELAX, yet still make something structured and useful by the end of it.
Thank you so much for this video. Have had my sewing machine less than a week and well I have so many scraps now just from little mistakes in cutting and what not. Here comes random quilts!!
I think this pattern is the solution to my plan of making a memorial quilt out of a bunch of men's cotton plaid and check shirts. I'm in the process now of cutting up the shirts to get the most usable fabric. Wish me luck!
This is a terrific idea! I have a whole bag of shirts that were my dad's. I have been waiting for inspiration and you just gave it to me!!
Good Luck!! Be sure to email us a picture of it when you are finnished, we would love to see!!
This is a great idea for a quick, easy quilt. I can see how some clever cutting and arranging the pieces can open up tons of possibilities!
I love Jenny. I could only wish to go that fast. But I do love Jelly roll quilts for a quick treat for little ones. Care quilts and the like. Shop Missouri often. Thanks to your helpers.
Thank you so much for the replay, I loved it!!!!!
As a new quilter I am just soaking up your videos and learning! Can't wait to do this procedure!
Oh! I just know I will become an addict! I just may require counseling if I watch these simply gorgeous quilts being made. What a treat! Thanks
I made this quilt using one jelly roll plus the white strip going through the center. I was able to easily get 30 squares, which made a very nice lap quilt. The hard part was getting the white strip in the exact center of the paper. If you are off by even a little, then the other strips will not line up. Otherwise, it is a fun quilt to make.
#414justzoot - Just last month I made a string quilt in my brothers memory with a lot of varying colours but each scrap strip wasn't always the same width as the others, the quilt turned out lovely and I feel the strips don't have to line up.. I believe the secret is anything goes when using scraps.. Don't put pressure on yourself any quilt is unique and beautiful in itself.....
I used your papers and made blocks with the white in the middle. I love how it turned out. I used one whole glue stick to get all the blocks done. It's a full-bed size. This is a EZ pattern. I used up a large amount of scraps. Thanks for the video.
Thanks from Australia 🇦🇺 Jenny 👍I love your videos. You explain everything so clearly and so easy to understand and your tutorials don’t take forever. I’m very new to quilting but you’ve inspired me, I’ve made 2 jelly roll quilts after watching your videos. Thank you so much 👍👍👍
Thank you so much for tuning in and for your kind words! We sincerely appreciate you and all of your support!
Jenny, I love your tutorials. You make quilting seem easier and doable. Some tutorials make it look like rocket science and it intimidates me. I have been saving my strips so I have to try this!
I put patterns etc in the “presentation books” with bound in plastic sleeves you get at office supply stores. They often have thin ‘newsprint’ sheets of paper in the sleeves. I have collected a pile of those papers, thinking that someday I would get into paper piecing. Cut down to 8.5” blocks, I’m ready to begin whittling away at my scrap pile 😀
I love this video!!! Jenny you are a great teacher!!! Thank you for sharing all your expert knowledge with us all!!! Love ya! Our sewing group is coming to see you in a couple of weeks!!!
Missouri is my home state - I was so happy to read about your startup, your family and your wonderful videos. I am a lefty too. We live in California now and I have just finished a wedding quilt for our granddaughter.
Keep up the good work. Hugs.
Made a baby quilt for charity using this method but with muslin underneath so there was no need for batting. Thanks for a great tutorial!
Jenny your the best, to the point easy to understand keep the ideas coming.
OMG! I must order that paper! I am new at quilting so you know I have scraps!! This would be an awesome addition for me to use.
So easy, thank you. Going to make these for my next lockdown project in the UK
Thanks a lot for all your CZcams videos. I just love them all, especially those with scraps.
Hello, I am not a Quilter 😋 but for the last few days I have been watching Quilting Tutorials 😁 I have lots of homemade Sheet Yarn for Crochet Rag Rugs 💜 So this is another Great Idea to sew some String Quilt Blocks as a Total Beginner 😁 & Your Tip with Adding the White Strip Diagonal at beginning is the first I have come across 😁 So thank you for this Tip! 😁💕 Erica x
Welcome to the family of quilters, Erica! Hope we help inspire your creativity many times in the future!
Chorus Quilters had their very first "sew-in" today. We cut 2 1/2 " strips from boxes of donated fabric and started sewing them to 10" layer cake paper squares to be cut and later assembled. We have laughed and plotted and can't wait to meet again. We look forward to posting our "lap quilts" on-line and of course giving them away.
One of my favorite tutorials. Thank you for being so knowledgeable and sharing your skills!
As a beginner, I've learned so much through her videos. Great ideas! :D
I like the idea of using up the odd pieces in our stash pile, I can see where the paper maybe a help to some, but also maybe some fusible web too and then after ironing on then sewing over with decorative stitching from the machine, who knows the possibilities are endless. I am so looking forward to start my string quilt, thanks so much Jenny :O)
It's like sewing a crazy quilt but in strips. Great idea on using the paper. N I C E!! 👍👍
OMG i have seen many missouri quilt co videos and i am always mesmerized by her iron! and i love the cutting board that swivels as well. i love quilting but buying "stuff" for my quilting is becoming an expensive habit. Thanks for all the videos ....love them:)
Never having quilted before but always wanting to, I am amazed at your tutorials. I am so appreciative of you sharing them. I definitely want to try now FOR SURE! Thank you!!!
Thank you, I will try to very soon!
You're so cute Jenny, sometimes I have to watch the tutorial over again because I've gotten off track with your funny ways. Thank you for this tutorial, I have some beautiful, beautiful material that I've been afraid to use because it's so, well, beautiful! It will be (one more time) beautiful sewn this way. May showers of blessings fall all around you and yours.
I love these tutorials. I am a beginning quilter and these make me want to keep going! Plus the lady is so nice :)
So easy...but beatiful...
I like it
Thank you for all your tutorials l love all what you show l can recommend your papers they are fantastic bought mine why I was in the states now back in the uk
Thumbs up for the magic jumping iron!
Jenny as always I always enjoy the videos . Thanks so much
Jenny, I love this quilt. I ordered the foundation paper and the lapel stick. I am the owner of a Budget Blind franchise and we had a bunch of drapery and upholstery fabric that we no longer use. I cut them into 2 1/2 inch strips and I started making this block. It is so addicting! Since the fabric is a heavy fabric I am just going to back it, no batting. I am planing on making some table runners.Thank you Jenny, I learned a lot from you. I will email pictures once the runner is done.
Jenny, I just ordered the foundation paper and lapel stick. I have tons of scraps and I will be working on a string quilt. I love your tutorials and I keep checking for new ones. You are a wonderful teacher.
I love the way your iron bounces up. It makes me laugh every time 🤣
I love string quilts....I have been using either cotton or bamboo batting left over from other projects and when the squares are put together it only needs a backing.
Oh Jenny, I love the ease and simplicity of this beautiful quilt! Can't wait to get the papers I just ordered. Thank you!!
~Christina in Cleveland, OH
Can I please ask you where you ordered the papers from?
I always enjoy your tutorials, Jenny, you are my hero ♥
Os
I didn't know what a string quilt was. but now that I do I want to make one with my left over pieces. It looks like fun!
thank you ...once again Jenny you are my hero..
Onwardbe Q
use this method Placing the same block on the back . Using quilt as you go to sew the blocks together resulting in a reversible quilt just an idea. I love your tutorials. And I learn about so many new products .thanks for being there.

Great idea, Sylvia Merryman!
Super great idea!
Sylvia Merryman, where can I learn how to put them together when I use fabrics on back and not paper, please!!! Thank you so much!!!
I have done strip/scrap/andd crazy quilts using this method for years. But I just buy a bolt of cheap muslin when its on sale...cut off a few yards,wash and dry it and then I cut it up into 10-15 inch squares and start sewing! Put a warm flannel or fleece backing on it and it will make a warm and snuggly winter quilt! Next time I am going to try it with the QAYG method that was recommended previously. Great idea!

Hi Jenny: In one of the Moda quilting books "Sweet Treats",
I made the April in Paris quilt for my son. The fabric was all dog related. I did not have the papers so I used 10" squares of muslin, the papers would have made it a breeze. Anyway, you have me thinking of yet another project! Thank you for all your inspiration, you give us all confidence to keep on quilting.
I always enjoy your tutorials..I spend so much time jus watching everythng you make.I try tonever miss a tutorial you have. Thank you so much.
to Nancy Wilson....I purchased the rotating Olfa mat recently n just started using it . Don't know how I lived with out it. Fantastic and tho it is for smaller blocks of projects it makes squaring up blocks etc so much easier turning the mat instead of the fabric.I'm currently working on cosmetic bags (zippered pouches) for a charity project and it just made measuring n trimming so much easier. I would recommend everyone get one. I used 60% off coupon at Joanns when I found mine. u will love !!!
I love your Tutorials! I have learned so much from you. I looked at some other tutorials but you make things so simple and easy to understand. Kepp up the great work and God bless!
I made a bunch of Christmas stockings with this method and assembled them diagonally they came out so cute.
I agree that scraps seem to multiply! Great idea for a quilt!
Thank you for your clear, precise tutorials! They make this journey easier and enjoyable.
***** How can I buy the foundation paper? They don't sell them at Joann Fabrics!
***** I found them!!!
No, I found them on YOUR site! Thank you!
That's the same principle as the vintage "row by row" quilt! I had been trying to understand it because some people are doing it with different colors of Minkee. I could never afford that, but I could sure do this! Thanks for the tutorial!
I know this video is super old but I was so excited after watching it. I was like I can do that. So I went and order some. Cant wait to try it out.
Jenny. I love your tutorials, I have made three of your quilts and hope to continue in the future, you are one awesome lady and you do a great job at teaching us from afar, I'm a fan from Australia and i'm about to try the Butterfly pattern.....
I have a pale green batiste that I ripped in 4 " strips. Periodically I take scraps and sew various size and shape scraps onto the strip which will eventually go together for a quilt of many memories.
Love this! So easy and so very interesting! Can't wait to get at my scrap pile!!!!
Love your tutorials!! They are sooo easy to do and really make you look like you know what you are doing. Thanks Jenny!!
Started watching your quilting tutorials only last week and I am just loving them! I have never quilted before or dreamt of quilt, it's like I just woke up and I will definitely start quilting soon. Thank you!!! so much for sharing. You are just too good! An oh the iron with its little feet really cracked me up, it was too cute and funny to watch, LOL ;o)
Thank you for joining us! Good luck!! We'd love to see what you make!!
I love Jenny I have recently just started quilting and I have to say I have learned so much from here.I love this idea also so easy!!
Great tutorial on Quilting with Scraps - Foundation Piecing to Make the String Quilt! Thank you for sharing!
We appreciate you, Jo Stovall. Thanks for watching and always reaching out!
Thank you! I have an abundance of scraps and didn't know what to do with them!
You can also do this on your embroidery machine, using a light weight stabilizer, instead of paper. It is really cool because you piece the block right in the hoop.
petmom I would love to know how you do that. Do you then leave the stabiliser in place or tear it off ? Xx
I love all you tutorials I am getting ready to do the you've got mail quilt for my granddaughters 2nd birthday. Hope I can get it done on time. Thank you for the great tips and wonderful online store. Wish I lived close enough to visit your store
Jenny you have done it again. Yet another wonderful tutorial and yes we all have scraps but I love how it all comes together so easy.Cheers from Downunder
I did! Thank you very much for following up :D I'm busy cutting and adding strips to my pile and plan on stitching some up real soon.
I can't believe it, your 10" Paper Piecing Squares are out of stock. lol That's good it means your doing a great job. I put it on my wish list and I'll wait until you get some more and then order them. I have a lot of 21/2 strips I can use. Now I can't wait to get started. Thanks again.
I really want to try this. I am currently working tweaking my scraps into "strings". Thank you for the great videos and your encouragement to try new techniques and patterns.
your are a great teacher! a string basket would be cute too
What a fun way to use all my scraps and strips! Thank you.
Another great tutorial. I'm going to have to get some of those papers. I really like the added interest/pattern you achieved by keeping the middle strip consistent. And, since you mentioned sewing 2 together and then cutting into half-square triangles, it would be lots of fun to see what kinds of patterns can be created by again keeping the center strip consistent and doing the triangles and then playing with the patterns. And, of course, you wouldn't be limited to strips. Thanks!
