THANK YOU!! For yet another block that we can make! It is a lil' different, but so charming....LOVE the baby quilt in the soft colors too. You are our STAR Jenny! Quilting fan of yours!
Dear Jenny thank you so much for this tutorial. I was having a hard time trying to make this same block. I wanted to make my daughter a "daughters quilt" and because of you once I made the blocks I was off and running,I am just a beginner quilter and what I know I learned from you and several others,thank you
Thanks Jenny for another excellent block tutorial. I finished my last quilt about 3 weeks ago. I made your "Disappearing Hourglass Quilt" and loved how it turned out. Since then I've been helping my wife with some of her sewing needs just doing small projects. Then low and behold I ran into another one of your blocks the other night on the net. The "Exploding Block Quilt". I absolutely love this block and how the blocks look put together. So once again, I've jumped on board the quilting wagon to make another quilt. You and your teams the best. Thanks for putting out these wonderful tutorials for all of us. I'll be starting this one tonight!
Oh boy... another one to keep in my head fro when I'm staring at my 40yrs of "stash" and thinking... GET GOING!!!! You don't want to leave this for someone else to use up!!!! :) GrammaBabs :)
Hi Jenny, to ensure of no 'boo boos' when you are cutting along the lines of the back of the squares, if you mark them first and make a small snip in the centre first, voila, no problems with cutting out to the corners. Hugs Naomi from Australia
Great! Jenny I hope you gave the lady a hug on behalf of all of us! Tomorrow is quilt day with my 4 sisters and niece - I am so demonstrating this block to them - they will love it!
Love this block. It is simple enough to use with my boys who are learning to use my sewing machine. You can't go wrong with a straight stitch. I can imagine using 2 maybe 3 fabrics of their choice and having them create their own quilts in no time. Thanks for the video
Jenny, has sido un descubrimiento para mi...GRACIAS¡¡ por enseñarme tanto de este maravilloso arte. A pesar de no hablar tu idioma...caray¡¡...consigo entenderte¡¡¡ y me resultas maravillosamente didactica. Gracias de nuevo.
Good grief! How in the world do people keep coming up with these WONDERFUL ideas? Thank you for sharing with those of us who are "creative challanged!" I can "copy" just not so good at coming up with these new processes!
AMAZING! I love your approach to old quilting patterns refreshing them with new quicker ways of completing them. You have given me so many hours of pleasure, and inspiration! Love your on line fabric ordering- staff is amazing! Congratulations to all of you!
this is indeed, a very cool block to make, easy peasy. but better yet, was jenny. she is a great teacher, very clear, slow speech which was easy to hear and understand. also, she was very organized. she assumed we knew nothing, and took us thru the block, baby step by baby step until it was done. excellent teaching. (i should know, i've been a teacher for 35 years). the videography was also excellent. it was centered, had good resolution and was not jumpy. congratulations on a tutorial that should be used as an example to others of how to do it right! ellen
Oh my gosh Jenny you have did it again I am so not a quilter I am a crochet but you just keep blowing my mind with these blocks they are so easy you make them look easy and it makes me feel like I can do it and when I do it I do it just like you in my quilts come out so pretty thank you so much for your simplicity.
Can't wait to get out my Cakes and make this "Expanding / Explosion quilt. Looks difficult but watching a block actually sewn its positively simple. THANK YOU again for sharing your talents.
Your amazing quilt tutorials inspired me to suggest a mini challenge to our quilt guild. Selecting a tradional block, create a whole new block by cutting it in whatever way you desire, moving pices around and sew it back together again. But each person has to write up what they started with and how they altered the block to come up with their own personal block. Looking forward to a large selection of new blocks, should be interesting.
Our quilting circle actually showed me this block and they called it the exploding pineapple. We made several hospice quilts using this fun block. I love your tutes and you Jenny.
That is so clever and lovely. I am going to try and work it out for a 12" block for my Sewing club. Always looking for new blocks that aren't too difficult so thank you Jenny.
I could sit and watch you all day make these blocks. Your the master in my opinion. Have learned so much from you yet I have so much fun watching. Keep up the good work. Love it and you and your company.
Oh, my goodness! I watched and ran to my sewing room. I added 3 more rounds and sashing and now have a pillow out of leftover fabrics from the quilt on my bed. This will be my demo at quilt guild when it is my turn again to demonstrate something. No one is going to believe how easy this is when I show the pillow.
WOW. I’ve been struggling with how to assemble the blocks for my brother’s quilt that has a fishing theme and wanted to include complimentary colors for sashing etc. Nothing has “worked” and then I stumbled across this phenomenal method. I’ve been a fan for years (have my first Christmas box this year…awesome!) and this is the first time I’ve seen this video! Thank you thank you thank you 🥰🥰🥰. Prayers answered!!!
HOLY WOW!!! This is WAY easier - and faster - than using the square-in-a-square ruler method that I have been using all these years. That's it - I'm totally switching to this method from now on! Thank you, Jenny. By the way, I love your tutorials...I look forward to seeing them each week in my inbox and I'm constantly sharing them, as well :)
That's fabulous Jenny! Minutes before I had been looking at something very similar on another video but it involved cutting individual small squares and triangles!!! I would have gone crazy trying to cut out all these pieces so I thought this was something I would never be able to make. But now, this will be my next project. Thanks again.
This looks amazing!!! I will have to add, once again, to my stash another quilt to make. This sounds easy enough for even me!!!! Our little group will have to try this with our scraps. Can't wait!!!
I made one of these last year. I set the blocks together with a solid block and only had to do half as many. (working with hand stitching too) It turned out beautiful!
I just love the look of this block. I will definitely be giving this one a go. Just bought some fabrics and wasn't sure what I was going to make with it but I this the will look fantastic as this quilt...... DONE!!!!!
That was fantastic video what a darling block. I’m in new to the site I-love you all. I have Jenny on all day and night. You’re a very talented lady and you’ve shown me so many tricks over the last month. I was so ready to start doing something besides masks.
Jenny I love this, I will call on the friends to come round for an evening of cutting and ironing, I will do all the sewing, lucky me. I think a team of workers will make this very fast. Thanks
Wonderful! I hope to be able to sew one of those someday! I'm a beginner...but loving to learn to sew. I really enjoy watching your tutorials Jenny. Keep them coming.
Hello Jenny! My granddaughter is 4 going on 5 next month and is my quilting buddy. She can sew straight lines using the edge of the 1/4 in foot and this would be a project we can work on together. I love your designs because they are so easy and fun to work on. Blayke and I thank you for making quilting so fun!!!
Love this idea, share that the right sides together, didn't catch this in the video. Give this a try tomorrow with some of my scraps. Almost as nice as the disappearing nine patch. Love the baby blanket. Will be in KCMO try to drop in your shop. You've grown so much since I first visited Hamilton, Mo. God has blessed your business. Thanks for always sharing, Have a very Happy New Year!
Cool! When you said you made yours from scraps a light bulb went off in my head! I'll start one with the smallest workable piece of scrap I have and just keep going....and going...and going. That should use up quite a bit of my "what in the world am I gonna do with this" fabric and scraps from upcoming projects.
This block is absolutely the most fun I've had in many a moon. I have two lap quilts to make and this is going to make it so much fun. Jenny Doan, come spend a week with me and we will quilt ourselves into pure delight. I have learned so much from you and my stash has been built with fabric from MSQ, who could ask for more?
THIS is the same technique taught by KAREN HELLEBY on THE QUILT SHOW .. Love this block... made several baby quilts fussy cutting the centers to highlight novelty prints....
THANK YOU!! For yet another block that we can make! It is a lil' different, but so charming....LOVE the baby quilt in the soft colors too. You are our STAR Jenny!

This is a brilliant idea!
Saw this method in Spanish and Russian. Glad I found it in English! Thank you!
Can't wait to try this one. Thanks Jenny!
She never ceases to amaze me. How in the world did she develop this method?
I love the use of the 10" layer cake with no waste! easy cuts and sewing!
Great! Jenny I hope you gave the lady a hug on behalf of all of us! Tomorrow is quilt day with my 4 sisters and niece - I am so demonstrating this block to them - they will love it!

2nd tutorial tonight, she's lefty with rotary cutting & right-handed with scissors. That's my trivia contribution for all time.
Love this block! It turned out very cute!!
I am in awe at the simplicity of this block! The finished quilt looks fantastic. One more on my 'to do' list.
Thank you Jenny. What a great idea. So versatile.
Thank you also to the lady who shared with you.

The baby quilt is so beautiful. Now I have another great idea.
Your quilt think tank never ceases to amaze me! Thumbs up for the MSQC!
I am thinking I must lead a very dull life because I am almost giddy watching this! Another brilliant tutorial, Jenny. :)
Oh my gosh, I love this pattern.
AMAZING! I love your approach to old quilting patterns refreshing them with new quicker ways of completing them. You have given me so many hours of pleasure, and inspiration! Love your on line fabric ordering- staff is amazing! Congratulations to all of you!

I just love how easy it is to follow along with your patterns. I think I have finally found what type of quilt I would like to make first.
great block, you guys are so very clever. MSQ is my go to store for supplies and ideas. If you haven't tried them do it now, you will never regret it.
Jenny- Thanks for another fantastic tutorial! So glad your visitor showed you this block. I can't wait to try it.
