Snowball Star Quilt

When Suzy Snowflake comes tap, tap, tappin’ at your windowpane, how do you react?

Do you welcome winter with open arms or do you wrap up in your thickest quilt and “hibernate” ‘til spring?

Do you curse each icy flake, or do you set up the Christmas tree and drink peppermint cocoa for breakfast, lunch, and dinner?

Love it or hate it, winter is on its way, and Jenny has just the quilt to get you in the mood:

The Snowball Star is a quick and easy jelly roll pattern. We’re using Ombre Snowflake Metallic strips, and every block is made special with – you guessed it – snowballed corners! Click HERE to watch the tutorial!

Sew Inspired Quilt

In 2008, the Doan kids asked Jenny to film her first-ever quilt tutorial. Her response? “What’s a tutorial??”

12 years later, Jenny’s videos have been viewed 200 million times and the Missouri Star community has spread across the globe! And you know what? It’s all because of you!

From Iran to Australia to small-town America, we are “Sew Inspired” by your creativity and love!

And so, on our 12th birthday, we are stitching up the sweetest little sewing machine blocks out of jelly roll strips. It’s a quick and easy project to celebrate us all!! Click HERE to watch the video!

Bear Paw on Point Quilt

They say there’s more than one way to skin a cat. (Ew, right?) I prefer to say there’s more than one way to set quilt blocks on point!

Last week Jenny taught one quick and easy way to set a quilt on point; this week, she’s demonstrating another simple method!

She starts with an easy-peasy bear paw block and stitches it up with setting triangles. It’s the perfect pattern for your favorite 2.5 inch strips, and it comes together like a dream! Click HERE to watch the tutorial!

Rhombus Gemstones Quilt

Would you like to make a diamond? Here is my recipe: Add 725,000 pounds of pressure to ¾ cup pure carbon. Bake at 2000° for one million years. That’s it!

Pro tip: If you’re short on time, stick with fabric diamonds!

Jenny’s Rhombus Gemstones quilt is made with yardage, 2.5 inch strips, and the Missouri Star Large Rhombus Template. This pretty pattern is quick, easy, and absolutely dazzling!
