  1. I'd love to know what size the finished quilt is, that you made here, Jenny. I am planning on doing one and I'd like to pre-judge how much batting and backing to get.
    your blocks are 5 inches each? I don't know for sure, so I can only guess the squares behind you. Thanks so much!

  2. Love this pattern and I love using up my jelly rolls that I buy on impulse when I fall in love with the colors and prints. Thanks Jenny! The one I am currently working on I decided to sash. The next one I have planned will be like the tutorial without sashing and in creams and blues. The ruler will get much use. Great purchase for me.

  3. Hey there Jenny. I was watching this tutorial and noticed that the blocks were wavy. Does this make the whole quilt harder to quilt at the end of the day? Obviously not otherwise yours wouldn't be hanging on the wall, but I'm just a bit concerned about making it. I just love it so much. Jan

  4. Hi i'm new to sewing and I would like to learn but after we finish the assembly of the quilt how to you to the back? and do we have to stuff the quilt? is there a tutorial for making the finition? Thank you

  5. So am currently working on this quilt. Was finding that cutting the blocks was quite fiddley. So I looked at the video again. I see the difference. With ruler right side up, because you're left handed you actually have a nice starting point for your cut because the tip of the ruler is at the bottom of the strip. For a right hander if you cut ALL your blocks with the ruler upside down, or so the writing is backwards, you'd have that nice starting point for the first cut. The important thing is that you either do them all with word up or all with words down. The block will look the same, one will just radiate the star points clockwise the other counterclockwise, but the contrasting X's will appear the same. Mine is coming right along!

  6. Thank you for another great lesson! Your efforts are greatly appreciated! I have learned sooo much from you & your friendly, kind personally is such an extra blessing! I make a couple of every block & make a quilt out of my favorites. I can't make that many quilts fast enough! I'm looking forward to your next video. God Bless!

  7. my ruler arrived only a couple of days before your video jenny…you could not have timed it better!!! i have done a lap quilt and love it…can you please do a video with the baby xblock ruler …..

  8. Hi again! I went to MSQC to put the ruler on my wish list, only to find it's no longer offered there. Of course that caused me to swoon in anguish. Is there still hope that it will come back? My swooning couch is sodden with hopeless tears!
