New Friday Tutorial: The Under the Stars Quilt

Here is another fantastic quilt project for you from Jenny! It is called Under the Stars. This one is so great and easy! It looks like a very complicated pattern, but like all of Jenny’s great patterns, it is simple and precut friendly! You know how much we all love precuts here at MSQC! 🙂 This quilt would look so great in rainbow colors, or some super modern fabrics. We would love to see what you come up with, so don’t forget to post your beautiful masterpieces on Quiltsby.me (HERE‘s a post on how to sign up for Quiltsby.me) or share on social media using #underthestarsquilt!

Block Magazine: April 2015 Issue

If you’re a subscriber to our Block Magazine, then you’ve been enjoying your April issue for about a month now! If you’re not a subscriber, what are you waiting for?? 😉

We had a wonderful time putting together this issue, selecting the quilts, and reminiscing about warm weather fun. (You may have been surprised to learn that Missouri folk like us love the ocean just about as much as we love quilting)!

Have you picked a favorite quilt from this issue yet? To get you started, we’ve put together everything you’ll need to turn “inspiration” into “finished project” in a jiffy! Click HERE to find the perfect fabrics, all the necessary templates (and other supplies), Jenny’s tutorials from Youtube, and even links for machine quilting. After all, what’s the fun of an idea book if those ideas never become reality?

Have a wonderful time working on your quilts, and don’t forget to send us a photo when you’re done!
