I am in my golden years. Uh huh. I stay tired and have looked for things to help with that. I have been quilting for 40 years. taut myself as best i could, then I found PBS and started to learn why I had the problems I had. this is all well and good but ...... then I found MSQco and you have opened new doors for me. I love how your mind works; I find it incredible how you rethink how quilts are put together and make them even better and easier. please keep doing the wonderful things you do. thanks so much barb may.
We love stories like this!! We will definitely keep doing tutorials! Thank you so much for the love and support!! :)
Oh Jenny - you totally outdid yourself with the Bear Paw! I am definitely in LOVE with this easy way to make a challenging quilt block. Thank you for your brain!! And sharing it FREE with the rest of your fans. This Papa Bear Quilt is NEXT for me to do. GREAT ideas, colors & all other wonderful things you teach us! (I also LOVED your story telling!)
That just puts a smile on my face! :) I'm so glad that you enjoyed it!! Thanks for watching!
Thank you, I just made a 12 inch square using a complicated method, yours is so much better. How big iss the block?
Jenny, you made me smile telling the Three Bears story. Love the blocks and smiles you bring each time I watch your tutorials. Huggers!
Oh My Goodness! I love this tutorial! Jenny you are a hoot. You always make my Friday special. How you keep these tutorials coming week after week with everything you have going on is beyond me, but I thank you! I see a Bear Paw in my future!
You have a wonderful way to make the bearpaw block more efficient!! Now we just need a project that uses up those tiny triangles that get cut off of the "snowballs" ! Thanks for all the inspiration!
I am SO excited!!! Approximately 34 years ago I bought fabric for a Bear Paw quilt in anticipation of the birth of my first son (no idea why I decided on such a complex quilt for a total novice--and I still am by the way). So instead of making a beautiful quilt, I gave up. But now there's hope. I may be able to do this after all! Thanks, Jenny. This is encouraging!!!!
I know this is an old video and has tons of comments already, but I just have to tell you how grateful I am for these simple instructions. I spent several hours yesterday trying to follow the directions of another well known channel to make the bear paw block. I finally ended up so frustrated after cutting, sewing, ripping and doing it all over again that I just threw the whole mess in the trash can. Seriously, who cuts 2 7/8" squares??? Anyway, I got my second wind and went searching again for easier instructions and lo and behold....there was Jenny to my rescue! I have just completed one very successful, beautiful Bear Paw Block and I have enough confidence to tackle a throw size quilt. As a new quilter, I just can't thank you folks enough for the great tutorials and everything else you do for us.
Jenny-Your enthusiasm and joy are a blessing and motivation! My first quilt was a bear paw, but without your ingenious way of using 2-1/2" strips. And the description of the different bear quilts-how fun! Hear my fabric stash calling!
The way this bear paw quilt is made is so much simpler than anyone else's way of doing this. You go Jenny!!!!
Loved the humor you put into showing the options for layouts of the quilt blocks. :-)
I'm so glad! :) Thanks for watching!
I love all of the tutorials but my very favorite is the Bear Paw. It was like an epiphany when I learned how to do this with Jelly Rolls. Genius!! 😀
Oh Boy. Jenny is the best, I remember my English teacher and the stories. Excellent!
I love the way this bear paw goes together. So much easier and faster than making half square triangles.
We're so glad that you enjoyed it!
Love it! As always Jenny you take difficult blocks and make them easy for every level to try! Thank you for all of your great work.
That's so nice of you! :) Thank you!!
Looks like the beautiful pow wow blankets. OMG Jenny 😃
I'm so freaking excited.
Coffee with Jenny 💕
Thank you for teaching me.
This is an answer to prayer. I didn't have a grandma. Thank you
Thank you.
Bless her little butt.💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
You are so fun Jenny! Love how you get so much joy out of finding new ways to use a block!!!
Creating is so much fun! :) Thanks for watching!
I am new to quilting, and I just LOVE your tutorials. Jenny, (Momma Bear) you just make my day. You make learning this wonderful craft so much fun. You tube had taught me to crochet like a mad woman, quill like a whirl wind, and quilt like..... Well im still working on my first piece, and as soon as my order from MSQC comes in i can really git er done! Thank you for inspiring me and being such a great teacher and tutorialist!
You're in the right place to start sewing! :) What fabrics did you order and what pattern are you going to start with? We would love to see pictures!! :)
I purchased Plum perfect charm pack, 2x night at the opera charm pack and 1 layer cake of the same and a handful of templates including the 5" tumbler and the layer cake sized Dresden. I am actually making my first quilt out of some flannel by the yard and a flannel jelly roll i got at a local big box store and incorporating that with some receiving blankets that were a friends daughters. I am making the quilt for her daughter as a keepsake. I plotted out all of the types of squares i want to make and need the dresden template to make a few if them. I know i have taken a huge undertaking with this project, and i had actually posted a plea for help under another video today (disappearing pinwheels) as i wasn't planning to sash the quilt and really wanted to do the whole thing myself and need to figure out how to quilt-as-you-go for this one. I may have to sash it, but i wont know until i get all if the blocks made and laid out. I would love to send a pic if the finished product to you all as 99.9% of what I know about quilting has been learned by watching Jenny. As for the material i bought from you, i am so excited to make a nice lap blanket and maybe even a couple of pillows out of them, and maybe a bag too. I love the night at the opera fabric!
Oh Jenny the way you described the bear paws! Thank goodness for people like you 😆😆😆
It was a joy to meet you at QuiltCon yesterday, along with Vanessa, the Crafty Gemini (another RUclips teacher I love) and today I am going to stand in line to have my new ModBlock signed. Can't wait to visit Hamilton, MO next week as we drive back to IL from Austin.
It was such fun talking with you today, Jenny. I LOVED the story of the Mickey Mouse watch that you rescued and wear all the time. I'm such a big fan and so grateful for your teaching on RUclips and Craftsy. Thanks for all your energy to keep up the weekly tutorials.
Now I want to do that one too!!
Thank you Jenny for all your inspiration. I´ve just started quilting but I love it. Of course I bought a mat and a knife (or what you call it). It´s so much fun!!
I've got a great autumn roll up. Now I just need to get an off white jelly roll and some black. You made the greatest bear claw ever! Thank you so much! What a great way to use the internet!!
Dondi Murdock That would look so good! Thanks so much for the support!
This is my favourite of your wonderful quilting videos, and I am already a fan. I am making this quilt for my brother, who is a retired forest economist. He wanted something from nature.
Jenny, I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I simply love your tutorials. You make everything look so simple. You have simplified even some of the old difficult blocks. All of your hard work is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much. Although I am crocheting right now, I still quilt also. I've just completed a crocheted cabled baby cardigan, a round pineapple baby blanket & crocheted stuffed clown for a friend who's expecting. So, I'm going to be getting back into my quilting soon. Again, thank you for all of your hard work & fun tutorials. Love them all.
Nacho Mamma it's so wonderful that you are keeping busy with many great crafts! :) Thanks for the love and support!
OMG Jenny! I could watch you all day long!! I love your humor and you make these quilts so easy anyone will know they can do them. Thank you so much for sharing all these fabulous ideas and please keep them coming!
You are so sweet, Sheryl! Thank you so much!!! :)
Jenny you are so fun to watch! Thank you for taking the time to show us your new way of doing it. God bless.
Love the fabric line also.
I wait every week to see what you have come up with. This one is so great. You make me laugh. You are a joy to watch.
Wow, Judy Jensen! That means so much! :) Thank you for watching!
Oh Boy! Another great idea to get started on.....THANKS!!!! Love your humor Jenny!!!
Thank you so much, Barbara Brown!
Yea! I made my first bear paw! Thank you so-o-o much.
Pat Morton how exciting!! :)
I too am lefthanded and I have taught many people to crochet. They simply sit across from me , just like you are to the right handers and it's perfect.
you are a genius ! I love the way your mind works. I have been trying to make this pattern with HSTs (UGH!) for my granddaughter's wedding quilt, but she wants the 'claws' to be contrast color. So I used your instructions and figured out how to make the claws. Thanks so much for simplifying this pattern!
I am strip piecing for the first time, yay!
I love snowballing, no stretchy half square triangles.
You are a genius Jenny! Thank you for another amazing tutorial. I look forward every week to see what is next. You really hit it out of the park this week! Although ALL your tutorials are full of inspiration. Thank you for giving so much for us on youtube.
P.s. I love to see these gorgeous traditional blocks simplified.
Thank you so much for the sweet comment, Tanya H! That means a lot to me! :) Is this a quilt you would make?
Missouri Star Quilt Company Definitely! !
Thanks Jenny for another great way to make a beautiful block a little simpler.......The Bear Paw is such a rich traditional quilt......I took like the warm deep colors.......going to make one for each of my children and grandchildren.....I have started the first and at the size you showed us...but I am thinking I may keep adding until it fits the full size quilt.....but then this size you showed is much easier to quilt on my domestic machine.....so still thinking on that......but excited to get more started.....I have done many of your patterns....thank you...I now get your magazine auto mail to me.....cannot Wait for the first o be to come thru
This is great!I just thought - wow - there were all those HSTs on a bear paw and here you make it easy. You are the best! Too many quilts - not enough time!! Adding to my project list- might have to push it up the list. Thank you for your great tutorials.
Loved your take on the momma and baby bear! I truly laughed out loud! So cute! Great quilts!
I love a good story and when quilts can be incorporated... oh game over, I'm there! :)
I have always loved this block. Jenny makes it so easy that I now want to make one! Off to shop for fabric!
Jenny, you're so darn cute!! I wouldn't have attempted such a block in a million years, but that method looks so achievable. Thank you again for another amazingly wonderful tutorial :)
You are so hilarious the more excited you get! I've always wanted to make a bear paw and I have the jelly rolls so I don't have any excuses now. Thanks for this tutorial. I love to see the old, conventional blocks put together with older looking fabrics.
I love this block! I love you, Jenny! I love your amazing family and company! Thank you for your hard work and fantastic results!
Bear Paws won't intimidate me ever again! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
We're so glad that you enjoyed this tutorial! :)
Absolutely loved this one Jenny !! Colors in each quilt are so GEORGEOUS!!
Jenny, I just want to say everyone of your videos brightens my days. Your loving, fun personality shines out and touches my heart. Thank you!!! This is just one of many of your quilts I cannot wait to start!

This Winter has been "the year of quilting"... may just begin this one today!!!
Papa, Mama or Baby??? Which one!!!! :))))) GB
Thank you so much for watching! :) I think that any way you made it would be adorable!!
Я вас обожаю. Долгое время получаю ваши видео, все, что вы шьете и показываете очень нравится. Несмотря, на то, что нас разделяет океан и незнание мною английского языка (знаю немецкий), очень и очень все понятно и вразумительно. Когда мои дети, а они уже взрослые, слышат вашу музыкальную заставку, то они уже знают, что это - Дженни. Вы приносите не только знания, но и хорошее настроение. Люблю вас и желаю вам крепкого здоровья и успехов.
Thank you so much!!! I really appreciate your kind words. :) Happy quilting!
Love it! I love EVERYTHING you & your family share! Thank you🤗🥰🦩
Thanks, Jenny, once again for sharing your expertise in quilting..
It's a pleasure to share what I love most! :)
I love the way you make it so easy
You've done it again! The quilting fairy has truly been around lately...this is another super easy way of making a tedious block. I look forward to Friday's to see what new item will on these tutorials. Greetings from Stuttgart, Germany!
That is so kind of you! :) Thank you so much for watching!!
Jenny, you are so much fun! I love the variations at the end!
I had a lot of fun with that, I hope you do too!!
This is one of my favorite patterns. I have loved this pattern since I was real little and have still yet to make one for myself. I will be making one for myself soon.

Debby
You'll be surprised at how fast this goes together! :)
Love this pattern, cannot wait to try. Thanks for the continued free patterns!
Never in my life would I have tackeled a bear paw. Tons of half square triangles, bulk no end. You make me try it. Thank you.
We're so happy that we could change your mind on it! :)
I LOVE your tutorial and the ideas too! Thank you.
So beautiful! Love these lefty demo’s because I’m a lefty too!
Fantastic. Once again you made a difficult block easy
That's our goal, we're so glad we achieved it! :)
Love it, Jenny....Of course, your 3 bear imitations make it cuter still! I'm picturing it done with scrappy paws and solid background too!! Can't wait to try it! Thanks for all you do!! (You must be so busy and keep us busy too!!)
Awh, I'm so glad!! :) Thanks for watching! Are you going to make this one?
That is one BEAUTIFUL quilt! Another awesome tutorial Jenny!
Thank you so much!!
Fantastic, when I think 💭 you've made something special 😆😆😆😆you come along something even better thank you so much 😊 you are the best, no one ☝️ can beat you 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌✂️✂️✂️✂️
I used this to make a memory quilt for a brother after Mom died: using fabric from her stash and two prints from her blouses. While imperfect it will be a lasting hug from her. Since it was scrappy, I didn't do the four block clusters, but made it 45 x 75 since he is VERY tall. Mom died on his birthday so it seemed just right.
I loved how you made this so simple Jenny. I just bought a Baby Lock Elizabeth and she and I are looking for some fun stuff to make. I'm so glad you showed the variations (with animation) on how this pattern would look if I chose baby bear. I'm not to keen on so much white so I'm thinking of trying a solid yellow (my favorite color) strip that will end up in the center. I'll try complete square first too see if that pleases my eyes.
You are a great inspiration Jenny. Hope to see you in your shop someday when the husband and I are searching out America.
Thank you so much for watching, Sherry Beuckelaere! I hope that you and Elizabeth have a fun time with this one! :)
Really neat quilt. I made a bears paw years ago and took me forever. will do your way I have 2 other quilts in progress. and 2 more where I just need to sew them together.. all your patterns . thanks for what you do
You'll be surprised at how fast this goes together! :) What other quilts are you working on and what fabrics are you using? :)
I love you ,you are funny, brilliant. You are a role model.
I just love your videos!! You are a hoot! I learned to sew quilts from you and enjoy myself doing it. I love the baby bear layout, however I will do all three and repeat your story.
So gorgeous and thanks for all the laughs!!!
You make it look so easy! I love the fabric and all three configurations. Have a happy day!
Thank you so much, LauraBellini!
Jenny you are such a trip. I love your videos. You have been the one to teach me how to make beautiful quilts. Can't wait to see what you have in store for the Honey Creek quilt show in Iowa.
I'm so happy that you enjoyed the tutorial! :) I hope you have as much fun as I know I'm going to!!
Love this tutorial. Thank you.
Jenny, what can I say, you never cease to amaze me with your talent, I love this block! Another one for my to do list :-). Angela x
Yay! I'm so glad to hear that! Thank you so much, Angela Banks!!
I just love your videos! You are so much fun and so excited about what you do!
Loved making this pattern great instructions Jenny
OMG, why I didn't see this tutorial sooner,
Now you made me want to make another one
Thanks
I love this one. I have always wanted to make a bear paw quilt but was daunted. I'm going to try this one. Thanks!
What fabrics would you use? :)
Missouri Star Quilt Company My son's favorite color is red, so I was thinking a red variety jelly roll with white paws. Then I'd have to decide if I wanted red strips to connect the paws and for the border or go with a different color.
Absolutely brilliant and beautiful!!! I love how you showed all the different layouts with your story!!! Thanks again for another great tutorial and quilt on my to do list xo
We're so glad you liked it! :)
Jenny, you are adorable. The Bear Claw Quilt looks like so much work - so many pieces. Great tutorial and MAYBE one day I will make it.
It really goes together so quick! :)
Loved it best with layout storyline
Great video. I just finished a Bear Paw using a layer cake by Kansas Troubles and yardage. It came out beautifully but yes o my a lot of hst. My next 🐾 will be using your method Jenny.
You are a genius. The way you make these blocks so easy to piece. I love your tutorials.
We can
Fantastic Jenny! Bravo! Another one for my to do list.lol (Just think of the quilts our grandmothers would have made if they had rotary cutters and such!)
Love how you make this so simple :)
you are so much fun to watch love watching you love this block thank you
I love it! I always wanted to make a Bearpaw, but dreaded the HST's. Great fabric line for this. It really suits the pattern. Thanks Jenny!
Thank you so much, Melanie! :)
I already love your tutorials. You make quilts so easy. This video made me love you enough to subscribe. Thanks!
Who has more fun than Jenny?
