Quilt as you go is the only way to go. I’ve made 7 or 8 big quilts using your method of connecting them. I looked at a dozen or more other methods and yours was the only one that I like. Other methods are great for other people but this just makes sense to me. When I’ve given my quilts to the person I made it for they can’t believe I did all of the quilt on my home machine. I don’t think I will ever be interested in free motion quilting. I feel it is WAY above my skill level. I love piecing and designing my blocks so much. That is where my joy comes from. Free motion quilting and all that would probably reduce me to a puddle of tears. 😉😉. Thank you MSQC for all you do for us out here in quilt land! Everyone of you is a treasure.
I decided at the last minute to make myself a memory quilt of my final 5th grade class, I was preparing to retire after 34 years of teaching. I had my students draw self portraits on 5 inch squares. I used this method and was very pleased with the results and I was able to finish it it time to show my class before school ended.
I want to thank you all at Missouri Star Quilt, but especially Jenny, for taking the mystery out of quilting. You simplify things and inspire me. Thank you SO much!
So glad I found this tutorial, I was given a tote of material from a cousin who lost her mom and she didn't sew so wanted me to have it. Little did she know that her mom had made 20 butterfly blocks all hand sewn on. I wanted to do some quilting on them but want to keep all the hand stitching, anyway wasn't sure how to connect the blocks now I have the perfect plan. My sewing machine has a short throat so hard to quilt anything too big and have good results. I am going to put it all together and give to her as a surprise gift. Thank you!
Having sewn for 62 years (my Mom showed me the basics when I was 9!) I just began trying my hand at quilting a little while ago. My machine is not a long arm, so I pretty much dreamed up the same idea as quilting as you go. Now that I have youtube and can see tutorials, I'm learning SO many tricks! Your work is amazing and so easy to follow. Thank YOU so much for sharing your knowledge.
I'm so shocked because I have wondered for years how one could possibly 'quilt by the block' but no one has ever shown me how and I'm a show me person. Thank you so much! Now I have bunches of quilt tops that are sewn together and I'm wishing I could do them by the block!!!
I just want to say a massive thank you from South Wales (UK), I signed up with a local charity (Project Linus) to make blankets and Quilts for children in need. I signed up thinking I'll do knitted blankets etc as I'd never quilted. The group showed me some basics to get me started which was great but when you're trying to do 72" square quilts on a Brother LS14 in your bedroom and the table is barely bigger than your sewing machine (my A3 self healing cutting mat does fit flat on it but my A4 one does to give hint as to size) things get really difficult real quick. Especially binding by folding over the edges so the corners are about an inch thick lol. Your tutorials have really helped me clean up the quilts to look more "competent hobbyist" less "first time on a sewing machine" and now this quilt as you go (and I've looked at about 30 tutorials and I could not get my head around them) has really made this so much more simple. Thank you so much :)
I have a quilt someone made me with a bunch of embrodered blocks from different states and countries for my daughter when she was in the hospital going though a double lung transplant, I lost her in 03, this quilt will always be a special treasure for me. Oh I love the iron
I finally know how I am going to honor my late mother’s handkerchief collection! I have been thinking about this for years and could never think of a method that would work!
This has proven to be one of best techniques ever! I have done quite a few quilts using this method of quilting and joining. It even works well for larger quilts too. It is easy fast and so much fun that before you really realize it you are putting the final row on and finishing the bottom. It totally eliminates the normal bulk and crowding that you normally would have trying to machine quilt on a home machine. Totally doable.
Thank you Jenny! I purchased a 16 hand quilted blocks at a church rummage sale and didn't know how I was going to finish them- this is the perfect solution!!!!as always, thank you
omgoosh, I have a stash of antique hand embroidery items I've been saving, from pillow cases, table cloths, tea towels flat sheets and aprons. I just think of the old days where women spent countless hours on their craft. I see it as a tribute to a dying art and the women behind the needles. Ty again for your video.
I have used this method for a lot of my quilts that are larger than a full size. I don't have to wrestle with trying to quilt it.. It's fun, easy and instantly borders and sets apart each block. One added suggestion, before the blocks are joined, now would be a good time to practice your free motion skills as the blocks are small and easy to manipulate in any free motion capable machine. Thanks for all your fantastic tips and tricks. Have a fantastic New Year and see you in 2017.
Diana Christian Figured this method out years ago. So glad to see instructions given by her to new quilters. As any quilter knows, quilting is ADDICTIVE. Or at least making the blocks is😍.
Oh my goodness! Watching your tutorials is like watching a skilled magician! You really know how to work your "magic" when it comes to fabric! Thank you for the tutorial
I'm really glad for this tutorial because I've dabbled in numerous needle arts over the last 10 years or so, located an iron on embroidery pattern of the Statue of Liberty. I got about halfway through with it and put it down; now I'm motivated to pick it up again and include it in either a lap quilt or a wall hanging using the method shown here. Thank you!
I did this some blocks that my father-in-law found in the Attic. Actually it was a whole box of quilt tops. These were one of them. My quilt turned out awesome!
So glad I found this video! I have two sets of flour sack towels gifted to me by my mother that my grandmother and great-aunt embroidered many years ago. They are well used (much to my mother's dismay) and I think this would be a great way to preserve the embroidery designs on them. Thanks so much for the tutorial!
Wow, This is the easiest method for quilt as you got that I have seen so far! You don't have to mess with little pieces of batting or separate sashing. Not as much bulk either. I am in the process of making quilt as you go blocks using my grandsons 1st year clothes and I didn't want to mess with all of the bulk of the clothing and then have to cut little batting pieces and sashing pieces. I will reference this method as I go. Thanks again Jeni for another awesome video!
5:14 “Aren’t they so cute?!” That part really made me chuckle, I love the way you can’t stop talking about how cute they are. That’s was the exact moment I hit the like button.
I love how you do not stress over this. (at least on corner), and if its not perfect you do not freak out. my new montra..."be like Jenny, dont freak out". lol..love you so much.
I just ran across this video and am so excited. I have some old tea towels that are worn out and I couldn't throw them out. I am going to trim out the embroidered area and do this with them. A few are very thin so I will try using some lightweight interfacing on them first. Thank you for an idea to save my grandma's handy work.
Love this tutorial. I do alot of embroidery and this is excellent! Jenny you always do an awesome job making your tutorials easy to follow. Thank you so much.
How wonderful that you save these little squares that someone took so much time to embroider. What a great way to sew them into a little wall hanging. Love this!
making a king quilt with this method. with only 36 blocks I needed more width and length, so adding 4 to 5 inches between blocks, with the same method. thanks for the idea and this tutorial
Love this little quilt. I have used the quilt as you go method for several projects. It's so much easier than wrestling a quilt on my home sewing machine.
I gave several dishtowels my dear grandmother embroidered wanted to do something special with them. I think this is perfect project to preserve them for my daughters Thank you Happy New Year
I have been trying to decide what to do with the embroidery from my grandmother's dish towels for years, and this is the perfect solution! Thank you SO much! It will be the perfect thing for my daughter to have something pretty that was partially made by her great grandmother.
This is EXACTLY what I needed! This channel has been consistently my favorite quilting place for years now. You just can't go wrong with Missouri Star. ❤
In the 70s I bought some of these preprinted embroidery squares. I never made them into a quilt because they are printed too close to the edge. So its not the embroiderer's fault. Mine were Farmer Brown's animals. Youve inspired me to go ahead & finish them after all these years.
Thank you so very very much. I have gorgeous embroidered squares 5hat have been quilted and I had no clue how I was going to put them together. You are a lifesaver. 😘 I’d got into a twist about backing it as it’s going to be a wall hanging and for the life of me I got it into my head that I’d need to mitre every single corner. You’ve shown me how wrong I am and that I don’t need to mitre each corner. Thank you.
I love this project and the embroidery, I have been saving similar squares that my mother had embroidered before she passed away and didn't know how I could use them. I'll make a wall hanging out of them and display it in my sewing room.
Dear Jenny, Iv'e been following you for over 6 years, since I retired (so I could get the courage to finished my "Learning" quilt, which I did). This is once again, an excellent "how to"video! you are , and your daughters, natural teachers. Thanks for your time, once again! Have a healthy and Happy New Year
that is adorable and I love the idea finding embroidered pieces....I've found many at thrift stores. ..I don't think people realize how much goes into those sweet little pieces. ..what a nice way to preserve them...yr awesome
This is the easiest quilt as you go out there on you tube. Love it. I do alot of children's charity quilts and quilting them myself has always been an issue since i love piecing and will not sent out a children's charity quilt to a longarmer. I will be able to do many more quilts thanks to you!
Jenny Thank you, I've wanted to try this for a long time but all the books just confused me. Now I know how I'm going to do all my Moms extra blocks. You are a wonderful teacher, and I really appreciate being able "see", what the steps are.
YOU REALLY OPENED MY CAN OF WORMS, LOL I HAVE EMBROIDERY ON MY MACHINE (I HAVE TWO MACHINES), AND I DO CROSS STITCH. BOTH WILL WORK BRILLIANTLY WITH YOUR DESIGN IDEA . THANKS JENNY FOR TURNING MY LIGHT BULB ON XXX
OMG am so trying this today, have some beautiful blocks but only a small regular sewing machine so this should work well. Thanks for such an easy to follow tutorial
I love your videos. They are so incredibly helpful. I don't really feel like I'm self-taught since I have referred to so many of your videos for a how-to. You are a great teacher. Thank you for being just a click away.
I have watched other quilt as you go methods for individual blocks and this looks like the easiest! I love all your videos. I think I would like to do mine to practice free motion and do all the backs (so binding) the same color. Thank you for all of your great tips and ideas. I have learned to sew and quilt by watching you and other artists.
Oh, this is brilliant. I have a gazillion owl quilt blocks to cross stitch and didn't know how I was going to put them together. This would be perfect!
Hi Jenny, I am new to quilting (haven't actually started yet, so I am looking into different methods. Enjoyed this video but what a REALLY noticed is that you are left handed like me. I started using a rotary blade with my right hand but wasn't getting on very well (I use scissors in my right) until I tried my left, writing, hand. Much much better but I am awaiting a left handed rotary cutter as I find it difficult getting close to my ruler with my presnt one. I also pin the wrong way so when I get to my machine I have to change the direction of every pin. I am sure I will surmount these problems but I was thrilled to see someone as expert as yourself cutting left handed. Looking forward to watching your other video tutorials :-)
Thanks for taking the time to write us this message Pauline! How neat that you are left handed as well! We sell a wonderful left handed rotary cutter that you can view by clicking on the first link below. The regular Olfa ones can be used by either hand.

I've been noticing while bouncing around different craft tutorials more and more left-handed people are making tutorials. I'm so glad..I'm right-handed, but my daughter is left and I've never really been able to teach her the needlework and crocheting that were my first intros to crafting. Now, with so many lefties on RUclips, anything she wants to learn that I can't teach her, she'll be able to find teachers! Thank you to all crafting lefties!
How ingenious! I happen to have a whole set of blue work on white and have not known what to do with them. The fabric is so old and thin I was afraid it wouldn't hold up. But this really gives it some body. Adorable! Thank you so much Jenny!
Wanting to try my hand at qayg so glad I came across your tutorial have been watching other ways of doing qayg but yours seems to be the easiest for me I'm going to give it a try. Thank you I so enjoy your videos. I'm new to quilting.
I love this ! Soo sweet and most importantly very easy for a non-quilter such as I am . This is a great project for embroidery machine using simple low count stitch designs ! Thanks Jenny 😍
I think you may have just talked the entire quilting community through a French seam I love the idea and am definitely going to use it thank you so much Jenny we adore you

This is EXACTLY what I needed! This channel has been consistently my favorite quilting place for years now. You just can't go wrong with Missouri Star. ❤
Thanks Jenny it is a pleasure to learn with you.
Clever! Thank you Jenny for this great idea to use the vintage embroidered 'patches'!!!
Else Koning-van Vliet
Love this method! No hassle with sashing etc... and so managable with a small machine 😄 finally found the right tutorial! Thank you so much!
I love watching this each time I sew!
You tickle me. I love your sense of humor! Quilting IS fun & I like how you keep it light and not so serious.
I love the vintage squares and am excited to give this quilt as you go method a try.
Thank You JENNY WE JUST LOVE YOUR BRIGHT IDEAS 😀
Omg. Finally I get to learn how to "Quilt as You Go" .
Now I get finish all the pieces of quilts I have done. Thank you so much. 💐🌷🌹👍🙏

How cool..and love! The embroidery!
I have continued to use this method for my larger projects that would otherwise be too overwhelming on a small machine and it works great.
These are so cute. I just love the old embroidery pieces. Thanks Jenny, Great video. ❤
Thank you. You made it look so easy and not complicated at all. I’m just learning to sew quilts and was looking for different ideas.
Thank you so very very much. I have gorgeous embroidered squares 5hat have been quilted and I had no clue how I was going to put them together.

So glad you now know what to do with your mothers special blocks Debbie! Happy Quilting!
What a wonderful idea. Thank you.

I'm so glad I watched this video. I'm a beginner quilter and I was wondering how to sew the blocks together.
This is the best quilt as you go tutorial I have seen so far!! Great!
Jenny Thank you, I've wanted to try this for a long time but all the books just confused me. Now I know how I'm going to do all my Moms extra blocks. You are a wonderful teacher, and I really appreciate being able "see", what the steps are.
Thanks so much jenny this is just what i needed to see. I really appreciate the time you put into these teaching tutorials
YOU REALLY OPENED MY CAN OF WORMS, LOL I HAVE EMBROIDERY ON MY MACHINE (I HAVE TWO MACHINES), AND I DO CROSS STITCH. BOTH WILL WORK BRILLIANTLY WITH YOUR DESIGN IDEA . THANKS JENNY FOR TURNING MY LIGHT BULB ON XXX
Now I know what to do with my mother’s handkerchiefs! Some could be upwards of 70 years old.
OMG am so trying this today, have some beautiful blocks but only a small regular sewing machine so this should work well. Thanks for such an easy to follow tutorial
I love this!!! It's so easy! I have some fabric and batting scraps just calling for this method! Thank you!!
What a charming little wall hanging. And, as always, excellent tutorial.
I love your videos. They are so incredibly helpful. I don't really feel like I'm self-taught since I have referred to so many of your videos for a how-to. You are a great teacher. Thank you for being just a click away.
Thank you so much for this video. It helps me to resolve an issue I've been working through on a current project.
I love watching your tutorials. Wish I could drive. I'd come see you in person. Keep up m the good work.
I have watched other quilt as you go methods for individual blocks and this looks like the easiest! I love all your videos. I think I would like to do mine to practice free motion and do all the backs (so binding) the same color. Thank you for all of your great tips and ideas. I have learned to sew and quilt by watching you and other artists.
This is a very cute idea. I love embroidery blocks but do not have time to make them. Mixing them with a fun fabric is a great idea. Thanks Jenny!!!!
The best teaching ! I love her creativeness.
Thank you Jenny! Clever and Cute! I never understand why anyone would thumbs down any of your tutorials? I enjoy them all!! Happy New Year! 💕
Thank you so much, Jolene!! Happy New Year!
I think you must be one of the best quilters going... I love ❤️ all your work... thank you for sharing xxx
I have seen this method somewhere else and started a tree of life quilt just to try it out. Thank you for the cut and dry tutorial on how.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the tutorial! Thanks for watching!
Love this Idea 💡 Thank you! Your best teacher 🎉
Oh, this is brilliant. I have a gazillion owl quilt blocks to cross stitch and didn't know how I was going to put them together. This would be perfect!
Thank You for this great tutorial. I wish you would make a "Quilt as you Go using Tee Shirts", including the interfacing.
Hi Jenny, I am new to quilting (haven't actually started yet, so I am looking into different methods. Enjoyed this video but what a REALLY noticed is that you are left handed like me.

WHAT A GREAT IDEA jENNY, THANK YOU !
I just used this method for my latest quilt. So excited to see your tutorial for it!

YAY! Thanks Jenny! That quilt is so cute and now I know how to Quilt as you go!!
Thank you! I just now made one using your pins and paws pattern from the video! I love it!
Wanting to try my hand at qayg so glad I came across your tutorial have been watching other ways of doing qayg but yours seems to be the easiest for me I'm going to give it a try. Thank you I so enjoy your videos. I'm new to quilting.
Thank you so much for this tutorial; it is exactly what I needed!
I love this ! Soo sweet and most importantly very easy for a non-quilter such as I am . This is a great project for embroidery machine using simple low count stitch designs ! Thanks Jenny 😍
You are such a joy to watch. Thank you sew much for this tutorial. This is my first quilt and this makes it feel doable!
Thank YOu Jenny. I love this tutorial.... I have seen a few different ideas but this is the best by far.
This makes so much sense! I have seen other methods and they are quite cumbersome when you are joining the blocks, but this looks great!
I think you may have just talked the entire quilting community through a French seam I love the idea and am definitely going to use it thank you so much Jenny we adore you
Fantastic teaching - thank you :)
Love this idea! I have some blocks that I made and never figured out what to do with them. now I know!!! Thanks, thanks, thanks...Jenny!!!
So glad you found a way to use up those special blocks you've been saving Karen! Happy Quilting! :)
