Quilt designed by Natalie, his mother, and made by his grandmother. What a memory for them. Love all your tutorials.
Congratulations to your grandson and his new wife. May they spend many happy years on that picnic quilt! Love the wonky stars sashing on this strip quilt. It definitely gives it a “fresh” attitude! Thanks for sharing it! 💕
Jenny, you never fail to brighten my day. I really needed your sunny disposition right now. I’m forever grateful that you share your talent with us!💕
Jenny, I want to thank you for teaching me how to quilt. I had a massive grand mall seizure 7yrs ago that had me in a state of blackness for 10 days while in the hospital. They didn't know if I would even live for a few days. My insurance didn't let me stay in the hospital longer than 10 days so my doctor told my husband that he could put me in a care facility or take me home and just wait to see if I would wake up from my "veggie state". So he took me home.
Slowly I did wake up asking poor Don the same questions over & over again every few minutes, driving him crazy. One day I was looking in the mirror and I realized thaI didn't even recognize my own face looking back at me. It took several months before I came out of it to remember some of the things that I use to do. Like sewing!
It was now July, the seizure was the end of March. My husband had given me an I pad for Christmas but because of all that had happened to me I had no clue how to use it. One day Don set it all up for me on RUclips to watch some sewing channels, to keep my mind busy. Missouri Star Quilt Company came up and to say the least "I was hooked on guilting". You became my mentor who recharged my mind & taught me how to quilt. Which brought me out of that "veggie state". Watching you was challenging my brain to remember & to learn how to do, once again, the thing that were so easy and even so natural to me at one time that seem to be so long ago. You taught me one stitch at time to be, some what "me" again, and it felt so good!
By the end of September I had learned how to drive again and the fabric store & quilting hope were just a couple of miles away. So.... guess where I was when I wasn't looking at RUclips watching you quilt.
Quilting is a whole different world than sewing and I fell in love with it, with Missouri Star Quilt Company and with you Jenny. I know that everyone who watches you absolutely loves you like their friend, teacher, Mom, Daughter or Sister. Jenny, I consider you all of the above including therapist! Thank you for introducing to this fun world of quilting🤗🥰🧵❤

What a story, Linda! Thanks so much for sharing, and glad we could be a part of your recovery from such an ordeal. We do hope to see some of your creations soon, too!
What an incredible story!!!! Glad you are in the road to a full recovery!!!
It is inspiring to see a display of "show quilts." But I am with you on this. I don't make quilts that are meant to hang in a museum or sit on a shelf. I always give away a quilt with the hope that it will be taken on a picnic, or used to make a blanket fort, or wrapped around someone who has a fever. My goal is that the quilts I make have a long, useful life and add to the happiness of people I love. Quilts can be like the people who make them: more beautiful as they show age and wear and service. You just have to open your eyes to that kind of beauty.
Beautiful words and sentiments.
I 100% agree with you. I make my quilts as gifts to be used and to have memories attached to them
Jenny you are a doll!!
Never thought Natalie was old enough to have a son who was marriage age.💙
So good to see you back Jenny , hope we see more of your tutorials in the near future. 🥰🥰💐💐😘😘
Congratulations to your grandson and his new wife. Praying they have many happy years together. I love this quilt. I think it would make a great QOV quilt. Hope your day is wonderful.
Great idea! I'm always looking for new Quilt of Valor patterns and this one will be perfect. I think I will make it with 2 borders to make it slightly bigger.
That star would make a great sashing on any quilt
Jenny you have the loveliest family! We are all a close family too. Michael J. Fox summed it up best. "Family isn't everything. It's the ONLY thing". Hugs to all the Doan gang and your extended MSQC familly too!
I think I recognized the blue and white quilt was made from "Blue Byrd" by Windham Fabrics. I have been drooling over those Williamsburg fabrics since Christmas. So now I think I will use this pattern to make my blue and white quilt. However, it will not be placed on the ground. It will be on the bed in my blue toile bedroom. Thank you , Jenny
Oh I so wish I could add a picture to this comment. I watched this video over morning coffee (as I do most days). I needed a little mental break from two large quilt tops (also Missouri patterns) I’m working on and I thought I’m going to try these little wonky starts with some 2.5 “ squares I have. They turned out so well. Ive been woking on accuracy and the seams lined up beautifully. Thanks so much for your wonderful tutorial Jenny.
My daughter is getting married and I LOVE this idea,just need to find the perfect fabric! Thanks Jenny
I love it when you post a new tutorial it’s great watching you create beautiful designs...thank you so much for all your hard work and simple instructions, with best wishes from Scotland.
Love this idea so much. Such a nice refreshing yellow, coupled with grey makes this look like a perfect summer picnic quilt.
It would be great when "signing" The Quilt to put :
The Doan's The couples last name
Established : January 2020 (the wedding date
Love Grandma and of course who made it.
Wouldn't that be cool?
Love the message- lives in the car and goes on the ground- part of life’s journey! ❤️
I would still like to see you do a double wedding ring quilt
What a great idea! I just happen to be making a throw size quilt for a niece who is getting married. I'll have to look into picnic baskets too!
Bellissime le stelline gialle in campo bianco!! Brillano!!!🤣❤️❤️❤️ bravissima!
Before my son got married I had made him a beach quilt and his girlfriend a park/picnic quilt. They are now married and still have the quilts in their cars and use them all the time. I've never worried about them getting used or dirty since they were made to be used and enjoyed. I love this pattern so might have to make a new on for the grand kids to use.
So I’m currently watching your CBS Sunday morning special and I first wanted to say that I am so amazed by your story!! You are absolutely amazing and inspiring! Also, I would totally watch a reality TV show of you and your family running your business 😁 secondly, I’ve been a sewist for about 15 years now mostly making garments but I worked in a sewing machine shop as an internship in college and everyone there quilted. I never got into it but I’ve been thinking about trying it out lately! Then I saw your special this morning and thought that’s it! I have to try! Haha. I figured I could make one for my sisters wedding next year and from the thumbnail I thought this would be a cute quilt for her. And then right at the beginning of the video you said you make these for wedding gifts! Haha I can’t. I think it was meant to be 😂
Thanks for joining the Missouri Star family! We were sew very excited when we heard the spot was going to air this last weekend, too!
I love the combination of these two patterns!
I love this in the blue and white. I love the wonky stars, so versatile.
I just watched this again, What a great Grandma you are Jenny.
Congrats to your Grandson & new Granddaughter-in-Law. I love their new picnic quilt!!! Another homerun, Jenny! This would also make a GREAT Man Cave Quilt. MSQC ROCKS! Lindsay, Sacramento❣
Gosh looked at the beautiful quilt and said to my self, you don't have the patients to make those stars. So glad I watched to the end. I would love to make them, easy peasy. Thank so much for your video Jenny.

Love this idea and pattern! Just recently retired and I’m already a fan of Missouri Star for life. My grandmother taught me how to sew and hand quilt years ago and I’m excited to start all over again. Love your soothing voice and adorable personality Jenny! I’ll see you on the road in TN in March❤️
One of the many things I enjoy about MSQC tutorials is that we see the entire process. All too often, tutorials will show the materials, but then they whip out an already pieced block. I much prefer the way these tutorials are designed. I want to say Thank You for all the valuable information :)
Congrats to the newlyweds! Only the best life has to offer for them!! Now, Could you tell us what needle & stitch size you use?
Congrats to your grandson and his new love. I hope they have many many years of happiness together. That quilt is gorgeous and I can see it in Pinks 💕 thank you again Jenny and MSQC for all you do
This is such a cute quilt. I’ll be making this next what machine are you using? Thanks for sharing. Love you videos and your website.
That is a Baby Lock Accomplish, Boo! Thanks for asking!
I absolutely love this the idea of a picnic quilt for a newly married couple. Thank you once again for your inspiration
I “owe” a picnic quilt to newly weds that love red, white and blue. I was going to make the Charm Quilt on Point pattern but I love this so much I’ve changing my mind.
Oh wow how beautiful! I just started getting interested in quilting! I haven’t made one yet! Just gathering material and supplies! I am very intimidated! Looks so fun!
Loved it Jenny, thanks. I love your style of quilting. Quilts to be used!
Just wondering why you didn't trim the extra fabric from the star points. Beautiful quilt.
Congrats to the happy handsome couple.this is just beautiful.Im planning on a red and white summer in the park block and red and white wonky stars
Oh my that is beautiful idea! I will steal this idea but use purple Awesome Debby
What a beautiful gift. They will think of you on every picnic ❤️
Love this quilt. Thanks Jenny
Love these beautiful picnic quilt presents you give - and how you explain the lovely adventures these will go on. Perfect :)!!
We're thrilled you enjoyed this tutorial! Thanks for tuning in!
Not sure if I like the Wonky Stars or the iron the best!!
Last leg...good one Jenny!!!😁
What a fabulous idea - picnic quilt is great going to make one soon
Lovely picnic quilt. Thank you Jenny!
I love this quilt. I need to make one for each of our two grandchildren getting married this year!
So cute! Love the combination of patterns/blocks!🥰
such a fun pattern!! I'm LOVING the up close sewing shots!!!! that is so helpful! Keep up the great work, Jenny and team :)
I m learning to quilt and studying it great you are helping me learn thanks.
Love the message- lives in the car and goes on the ground- part of life’s journey! ❤️
Hi Jenny..... I’m watching you from the UK!! Really loving your new dinky camera view!!! 👍🏻👍🏻
Such a beautiful quilt. Thanks Jenny!
I don't have any grandkids old enough to get married yet, but this is a great idea Jenny!!! I loved the blue Quilt and I loved the one in Yellow/Grey that was featured for the video.
This is a GREAT idea....for newlyweds!
What a nice and handy Quilt! Thanks Jenny for your simple explanation and enjoy this a Tutorial! Mónica from Bolivia 🇧🇴 🧵📍✂️
Ooohhh I love this quilt and picnic theme idea
Isaac and Aislyn are so sweet! Warms my heart. I wonder if you could just use a strip of the yellow when doing the "star legs" instead of taking the trouble to cut the yellow into squares. Great quilt.
Measure your jelly roll strips for the length before cutting for your wonky stars. My strips were only 42" including selvages which only produced 67 colored squares and you need 70. Since my colorway was very specific, I had to scramble to find some scraps that "will do", but had to improvise in the quilt, which greatly disappointed me. Next time, I'll know to not assume my jelly roll strips were 44".
Oooh you have a new iron! So pretty! The Oliso irons aren't well known here in Australia, but I got a pink one through our local quilt shop who brought them in specially for their regular customers. All my friends love how it pops up when it is put down!!
Very nice! Could you do a video on quilting with Minky on a Longarm?
I just finished this pattern after beginning it almost 2 years ago & setting it aside. The wonky stars terrified me! They didn't have to but I had used them in a different pattern (Roadblock) and I just couldn't get the hang of it. Because the fabric screamed "masculine possibility" I decided to not opt for the wonky stars and to use the leftover pieces from the strip tube cuts and made them into 4-1/2 inch 6-color "wonky squares". I am so pleased with the finished quilt top and it will be a great gift for one my nephews. Thanks Jenny for another amazing quilt pattern & instruction.
Great idea for newlyweds - I love the idea they can keep it in the car... Also would make a great baby quilt too! Thanks for another great tutorial.
Great quilt. Love the picnic idea!
Hello Jenny, do you have to have the Clearly Perfect Slotted Trimmer for this quilt? Or can you use a Triangle ruler? I am a Totally New Beginner to Quilting & I don't have many rulers. I also live in the UK & I have seen 60 degree triangle rulers that have the inch & half inch markings on them. Erica x
Hello Jenny, so sorry I commented & asked about your Clearly Perfect Slotted ruler. Then you explained it can be done with a 45 degree ruler 😁 thank you for telling me 💜 Erica x
Hahaha! I made a quilt for my son for Christmas. When he opened it, he asked if it was for picnics...I was horrified!
This quilt sort of reminded me of the women's suffrage flag, which was done in purple, gold, and white. Those are the colors I would choose to do this design in.
It's great how you make those striped blocks look scrappy by simply turning them before you sew them together.
Beautiful quilt and gift idea! I am curious why you didn't trim the white corners from the star legs so there aren't two fabrics.......🤔
Love this quilt!! I’ve made the Summer in the Park quilt and absolutely love it, so can’t wait to make this one as well!
🌸Sweet grandma.❤️
Thank you for sharing the gift giving with us. Missouri Star Quilt Empire = new name 😍
Love love love the Blue & White ... beautiful job Jenny
I love this quilt. It's beautiful in blue & white, also. Congratulations to your grandson & his wife.
Was just wondering, what is your count as of today, for grandchildren and great grand children?? have you reached the greats as of yet?? We have only reached the grandchildren six is our number.
We do hope to see great grands, someday, but not yet..
Beautiful quilt you made it i really enjoyed thank you so much for sharing you are my best teacher hope one day i see you
Congratulations to the cute couple🌻 and thanks again for this bright and pretty tutorial!
Nice tutorial. I've made 3 Summer in the Park quilts...my favorite pattern. Making your log cabin quilt right now. Question: Has the Daily Deal been discontinued?
Paula Rinde , it’s free shipping today and tomorrow! What a deal.
Hi, Paula! It has not been discontinued, but we've been having reports of people not receiving their email. While we look into it, head on over to our website and click on Daily Deal to view the latest... today (01/31/2020) it's free shipping!
Question on the quilting itself- is that a panto. freehand or computer generated? If it is a panto is that something you sell? I really like the piecing and the quilting- this will be the next quilt I make for a college graduation gift. Great video !
I love the tiny star block , Thank you , I have so much trouble with the tiny blocks, but you make everything look so easy, :)
Congratulations on the sweet couple. This is a lovely quilt and great gift!
🤔umm I can’t decide which colour way I like the best ....both !
I like the quilt design very much. It's making me want to go on a picnic soon. It's been too many years. Thank you. 😊
I love this quilt design!
what a cute idea - I adore the wonky stars and they go great with the summer in the park squares. beautiful. Going to make this for sure!
Seems like a silly question, but I am kinda of new. I love my slotted trimmers, but I DO use the slots to cut the corners with the ruler. Is it okay to do so when using a tube?
This is another I can do while avoidibg bushfire smoke. Thank you.
I’ve never been a big fan of the wonky star but it looks great, to me, on this quilt.
The wonky star is also my favorite. Enjoy the videos. Thanks.
Awesome design with blending the two patterns. What an awesome gift!
Awesome pattern and gift idea! Congrats to your grandson and new grand-daughter.
Love, love, love the fabric, and the quilt is super!
I love the blue and white version! Congratulations!
I love all kind of stars! Especially these wonky ones! 😊
Very pretty in the blues! I might have to make this one. 👍
What model is your Baby Lock machine. I really like it and am looking for a new one.
Sweet.
I love watching you in fast motion I'm sure that is the way you sew all the time
A picnic quilt and basket - what a great idea!!!
GREAT Yellow and the grey/ black.!!!!!!!!!
Sooo CUTE! Love the blue and white one!! ❤️
Jeanine,thank you for this lovely pattern variation, I am working right now on my second Summer in the Park from your tutorials , the first one given to my sister and this one Maybe for me , love any of your patterns you make it so easy I will have to make this one too.
