Jenny Doan:Sensei of quilting!After 40+ years of seamstress work, reproduction Civil War era dresses and perpetual drooler over wonderful, exquisite quilt workings but trying and failing miserably once or twice...Jenny has actually convinced me that I CAN quilt! I'm studying daily and collecting fabrics for my up-and-coming grandbaby boy due in May! Thank you Jenny!!!

I would love to see a good 5 minutes of Jenny bloopers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jenny, I sure wish you were in Panama City Florida. I really enjoy your tutorials. You seem like a lot of fun and easy to learn from. Thank you for taking the time to do this for us :)

Don't be so negative quilty girl. Quilting is an expensive hobby or business. Jenny gives good short cut techniques and shows you how you can use them in your own quilts. I love these videos and have adapted them in many projects.

I love this quilt.I probably would hand applique the circles onto the squares since I do spend time in doctors offices. It keeps my hands busy. I would machine piece the squares together. Thank you Jenny, I love your tutorials and I learned so much from you.

you can use the outer part of the fabric when you cut out the circle. iron that part on another background square. It would look like a reverse circle.

This is a quilt I could easily get finished in an afternoon. Thank you for another great video!

I love you Jenny! You are wonderful to watch, a natural.

Everything takes practice. The old adage 'practice makes perfect' is very true!!! I sell quilted wallhangings and people marvel at my stitching how straight it is and it only takes lots of practice. hope this helps!

I always enjoy your tutorials Jenny .

Really cute. Am going to try this plus a small one using charm squares. Fun stuff from those MSQC gals! We love ya!!!

Jenny: another great video. Thanks!

Been so scared of circles but think I would give this technique a try, doesn't look so scary. Isn't it just like Jenny to take the fear away & give us that "can-do" feeling!!

Some of you ladies need to watch the video twice before you right a comment....the "paper" is paper backed fusible web and Jenny Ron's it to the back of the fabric and then removes the paper portion if it....secondly Jenny says at the beginning that the fabric requirements are 2 layer cakes....great video as usual Jenny...keep em comin'

again another inspiration. Thank you!!

Looks like fun. Another one to add to my to do list. Thanks!

listen ladies. these videos are not about the exact execution, but the overall idea. in this example, the idea is that you cut circles (and even rings) to applique to a square to get a simple but nice block. you can do that any way you like. the point is to open your mind to the possibilities.

I love this quilt Jenny, I enjoy your video's so much you have tought me how to quilt and I love it! Thank You so much, You are the best Joyce - Indiana

That's a great idea!

I love this quilt. I'm going to use the poke-a-dot pak on this that I purchased from you a few months ago. I need to do a baby quilt for my cousin.

A really cute quilt!

I just watched the story of the beginning to present of the Missouri Quilt Company on Facebook. It was wonderful!! I don't remember how I got hooked on your website, but I watch almost every day. It's a wonderful site and I wish you all the luck in the world. Looks like you have that already!!!

You all will luv that sticky stuff when you get used to it I have used it a lot & also used my decorative stitch on my machine. thank you Jenny. Mammalou

I like the the circles. I think it would be pretty in some pastels.

great Idea!...Just thinking of the posibilities for baby quilts!

Love your tutorials! I use temporary spray glue often. But it too can be pricy. Don't tell anyone but sometimes I use very inexpensive glue sticks. Gluing one small piece at a time, I glue one piece only, stitch that in place then glue stick the next, etc. Because it is so cheap, it dries quickly, and often flakes off during or shortly after I have finished sewing.

TAAADAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!smile go JennyUSA

Jenny! I work in a craft store, and we recently got in Teflon coated scissors in our scrapbooking department, I was so baffled as to why someone would want scissors with Teflon coating! I asked one of the customers that comes in all the time and she said they're wonderful for anything that is STICKY. The sticky doesn't stick to the Teflon! I bought a pair and I love them for fusible web!!!!

sure they do, we use them all the time on there

Awesome - Thank you!!

Wait! Sizzix made dies for your templates? I'm so excited! I need to get my big shot pro fixed, but my regular size could use the smaller dies. Off to see where to buy, then save my pennies!

That was exactly my thought also!

After you cut the circle out, why not use the piece remaining with the hole in it to fuse onto a block also?

Kaye12566....the paper is Heat 'n Bond, and when she rips off the paper, the adhesive has been ironed to the back side of the fabric. Now the circle can be fused to the 10 inch square when she irons it down. The circle will stay in place while she sews around it. It's great stuff for applique!

If you get some of the Heat n Bond on your iron just iron onto a Bounce dryer sheet and the sticky stuff is all gone!

Jenny, I own an AccuQuilt and love the accuracy and speed I get when cutting the shapes out for my projects, I enjoyed watching you do the Cheerio quilt and found the Sizzix dies on your website and I just have to ask do you know if the Sizzix Dies will work with the Accuquilt? Thank you, Kim

I love my accuquilt stuff. :)

what dies do you use in the sizzix machine for the Cherrio quilt? thanks.

we wanted the ring to be about 2 1/2 - 3" so just come in on the ruler that much

id love to make a crib blanket using this pattern. I am wondering if I could use a charm pack so the circles on squares are smaller to fit the crib blanket better... any advise or suggestions?

What size are the circles that you are cutting out? Thanks so much. Love your tutorials!

Yep; and the little inner circles you cut out of half the blocks could be used, too. Maybe on a wide border? Maybe just another quilt. I dunno. Anyway, another super tutorial! Thanks!

For easier quilting would you cut out the fabric under the cut circle appliqué?

Morning Jenny, I have a question to ask. What would this look like with sashing between the blocks and if so what size sashing would look best. Love your tutorials and the work you do. Thanks. HAPPY QUILTING...

@missouriquiltco. Where did u get your ironing board?

تسلم الايادي

the paper has an adhesive backing to iron to background until you applique it with your machine. It holds the circle in place .

This looks so cool. If you are not able to purchase the layer cakes, can you just cut out 10" squares? How much fabric would you need to cut the required squares?

I see the double wedding ring hanging in the background did you make that one please if you did tell me where's the tutorial can be found thank you Sherry

I love that Sizzix has turned your templates into dies. I have a Big Shot (not the big studio one you have). Are your dies indicated as going with your templates with Sizzix?

About how big does this quilt end up? I'm re thinking of using it for a baby quilt. It's really cute!

Hi Jenny thanks for another amazing tutorial. I was wondering if you play guitar?

Can someone tell me where I can buy the die cut fabric cutter she mentions in the tutorial?.

Where can I find the circle cut ruler?

Does it take super practice to sew along a circle? Cause I just can't get it right :(

I must be missing something, so what size do you cut the inner circles? I assume you use the ruler.

Hello, I love your tutorials also here in Germany.There's a question I have to this tutorial and the Sizzix machine dies. How big are the 2 dies I need for this Cheerio Quilt?Thank you very much for your reply.

Can the circle templates be used on the accuquilt GO cutter machine?

What kind of sewing machine do you use?

How do you make the circle with the circle hole in it

it only works on the Studio Accuquilt as far as I know though

K12566 I thought the same thing at first, the stuff she ironed on at first is a double sided fusible webbing, she needed to year the paper backing off to expose the other iron on surface. Hope that makes sense.??

What kind of sewing machine are you using in this video???

i'm wondering if I could use a 45 mm cutting rotary cutter with the circle cutter you used an 18mm cutter with.

ok i have to be missing something it says to get the materials needed follow the description below. where is that located. i cannot for the life of me find it. lol thanks

I use sizzix dies on my big shot pro all the time.

Wait....did that iron just pop up on it's own? What is that???

They do...you have to buy the adapter from Accucut, not Auuquilt site

I am not sure I follow. Why would you use the paper to cut out the circles if all you do is rip it off right after? What was the purpose?

It is an Oliso iron.

is there any different way to make circle quilt without those sticky paper ? bcoz its not available in my country yet,,

I can't find that rotary cutter sold anywhere. Will any 18mm rotary cutter work? I have the ruler already.

That looks really fun - quick too! Just a small query, do you cut the fabric away from behind your applique or leave it in place? Thank you again for a really interesting tutorial! :-) Sarah

where do you get the cheerio quilt pattern to make this quilt ?

I don't think there is a pattern Gail. Jenny uses two packs of 10" squares (layer cakes) - one for background squares and the other for circles. I would estimate the circles' outside edges are about 8" and the inner perhaps about 5" (maybe 6"). She fuses the circles to the 10" squares, sews down the edges of the circles, then sews those blocks into rows of six, with eight rows. Add your border and you're done!

I have the same problem with my hands.😊

Zig zag charm pack table runner

That would be irons and not Ron's sorry

Don't be so sure she is giving you accurate easy instructions. I purchased all the fabric she said was needed for the quilt top , received it, started cutting it out and ran out of fabric to complete it. THE VIDEO INSTRUCTIONS WERE WRONG! I emailed them to let them know that the quilt could not be made as described,and asked if they would send me the fabric to complete it as it was their mistake. The answer was NO, but they would give me points NOT SATISFIED!
