Missouri Star Quit Company Tutorial "Quartered Stripes"
 

Has anyone here made a quilt using the "Quartered Stripes" Tutorial by Missouri Star Quit Company? I like that quilt and want to make it for my son-in-law for Christmas, using stripes that are darker colors. However, I am worried about finding striped fabric and not knowing what the end result will look like. I would love to see pictures if anyone on here has made one like that.

Found the video. I've been wanting to do something like that with red and black stripes. May just be easier to purchase striped red and black fabric. thanks for letting us know about the video.

I have the fabric purchased to make one, but haven't started yet. My fabric is black and taupe stripes that vary in widths.

That fabric sounds like it will look awesome in this quilt. I hope to find something in blues and greens and I also want the stripes to be varying widths. But I am thinking about buying twice as much fabric as I need so I can cut every 10" square on the exact repeat of the stripes so all the blocks are exactly identical. Then I could use the remaining fabric up by using it in the backing somehow.

Sounds interesting, you might be able to find a stripe w/ the repeat (or close to it) that will work for that w/ little waste. My fabric was a "found" bargain, it was a 100% cotton shower curtain at a thrift store. I was on the look out at fabric stores for a stripe to use for this quilt, and just happened to find this first. The colors I think will work nicely for my niece, she is about to graduate H.S. She really likes the darker colors and loves the look of optical illusion quilts.

one of the sample quilts behind jenny is done in darker stripes and it looks fine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8xgM1H2X18

You sure have to make sure you are cutting accurately!

I made seven toddler donation quilts using this pattern. I wa surprised that the stripes match up without any fussing. One thing I learned, you need the 1 and 1/4 yards to get 10" cuts, anything less will be too narrow when folded . I cut my fabric 1 1/4" yard sections to get more blocks. Anything less then 1 1 /4" yard and the squares will have to be smaller. Here is a picture of one of the quilts. [ATTACH=CONFIG]555902[/ATTACH] and the striped fabric I used:

Basically it's a Stack and Whack.... This gives me a good idea of something to do with a stripe I have.

Love your quilt, OnebyOne.

Since I'm not starting w/ a standard width measure of fabric, I am measuring the width deciding a good divisible number then multiplying that by 4 for my length of fabric piece. I'm pretty sure my fabric is wider then the 45 - 42 inch wof.

Remember it has to be refolded with opposite selvedges. Too much yardage at one time made it awkward for me to fold and cut. 1 1/4" yards will give you 16 10" blocks. This pattern is fun and happy to make.

A few years ago I did a similar design, and it was called "Yipes, Stripes!". Pieces could be arranged in any manner, which necessitates more concentration. It is so important to cut accurately and have the stripes lined up. It was a lot of fun to make!

Daylesewblessed that is a great layout. I'm going to make my next one like that. I'm looking for that pattern. It seems a little different the then MSQC one.

I was wondering if you only cut two layers instead of four, would all the pieces make the square design? I know cutting four layers some of the cuts will result in different designs. I guess I should cut some and see.

One of the differences is that the instructions for my quilt did not cut 10" squares from 4 layers. It was a matter of cutting half square triangles (if I recall correctly) from a 2 layer fold. The principle of getting the stripes laid out evenly before cutting is the same for both methods.

I think this design has as many possibilities as there are striped fabs out there! Hmmm, I think somewhere in my fabric mountain I may have a stripe...hope it's at least 1 1/4 yd. so if one wanted to make a larger size, like lap, 2 - 1 1/4yds would do?

You'd get 32 9" block after piecing.

Thanks for starting this thread and for members who added their own designs. I went and watched the msqc video, too. Next time I see a stripe on super sale it will certainly be going home with me!

ps. I googled quartered stripe quilt images and found some great pictures to admire.

What a great quilt - thanks for the link.

I have no stripes in my stash, but I definitely will be going out to get some. I thought I had seen all of the MSQC tutorials, but I surely had missed that one. Thanks for bringing it up. The pictures posted are all lovely.

I bought the fabric but have not found time to sew, looking forward to trying it.

I made that quilt from some stripes I just happened to have in my stash. I wanted to try it before I bought some other striped fabric. It was so much fun & it was fast to make. I ended up buying the same fabric Jenny used but I haven't made another one yet. I will though. I'm getting ready to go away but I'll try to remember when I get home to post a pic.

I love your pattern, also. It is quite different from the other strip that Jenny shows. I think it is the colors that make it stand out.

I found an old sheet to try this pattern with. It was super fun to do and probably one of the quickest quilts I ever put together. Using an "uneven" stripe, it was very interesting to see the different triangle combinations I ended up with.

Your quilt looks awesome!

Cant wait to see it. Now I have to get shopping to some Quilt Shops to find some stripe fabric. I don't ahve Quilt shops very near me so it may take awhile for me to hunt for what I want.

​I love this!

I think the wide binding in the pink quilt is great. It gives something extra to the design. I'm going to use wide binding on my next quilt. Let's over throw the quilt police!

It's definitely a fun quilt. I had another quilt teacher who also loves Kaffe Fassett stripes. I may have to give it a try.

To me, it looked like the fabrics she was working with were on the dark side. And there were samples in the background showing what the finished quilt looks like?

Ladies, your quilts are great, thanks for sharing!

Oh so cool and easy too! Love that Missouri Quilt Company's tutorials. I can't wait to start stripping my stripes! (pun intended! :))

beautiful quilts. i love both layout, great job!

OK, so I KNOW I have some striped fabric in my stash that I got on sale at a ridiculously cheap price... now I'm going to have to dig it out and do this.
So simple, yet so effective!!

Cute quilt. On my bucket list...

Cool quilt -- I need to see if I can find one of my striped fabric so I can try it. Thanks.

I went out today and bought some striped fabric for $6.99 @ yard. I want it bigger for my grandson so I bought 2.5 yds. It is a narrow stripe so we'll see. I love Jenny's Kaffe Fasset but I have to watch my budget! Maybe it will be my Labor Day weekend project.

I have one top finished, started a bold black / white / gray in smaller size for a wallhanging, now have 3 more in progress and 3 more stripe fabrics to try it out. It IS so very easy to do! Some fabrics come out a bit crazy bold and dizzying to the eye, LOL

yours turned out great! love this pattern

love the colors on this one, different pattern but wonderful results

the fabric I had on had for first try was a dark purple and blue ... I felt it was a bit too dark but my granddaughter loved it ... so when it is quilted it will have a happy home.
