This is a M* pattern. It has a lot of little pieces but, I am happy how it turned out

Fabulous finish CJ…such a cheerful quilt. I love the border fabric you chose. I can see where it would be a challenge with all of those pieces but so worth the outcome. Congratulations!

Love this colorful quilt. The block lay out and colors are perfect.

I don’t know what a ‘M’ pattern is but this sure is a pretty quilt! I was wondering, is it made from a jelly roll or yardage? I love a cheerful looking quilt. Also, I know you could make any size with these blocks, but what size did you make this one? I too love the border fabric. Great job!-Toogie

this is a Missouri star pattern. Jenny Doan had a tutorial online for it. And it was made with a jelly roll. The square in a square are 3 inches with the little colored sashing finished at 3/4 inches

Certainly worth the hassle of all the little pieces as it turned out beautifully. I will have to add this one to my bucket list. I love it.

Love that block/pattern. Put it on my bucket list after watching the tutorial. Your quilt is beautiful; nicely done!

Beautiful colors. I don't do small pieces.

Love your quilt, did it take very long to make. I am struggling. Instead of 1.25 x 3.5 strips I cut mine 1.5x 3.5 just easier for me, I'm not using a jelly roll, just scraps.

yes, it took a while to make all those little squares. But, it sure turns out nice. I can’t wait to see how yours turns out

true4uca 02-07-2022 08:33 PM

Glad to hear it takes awhile, Jenny makes it look so easy. After a week of trying I have about 20 blocks all done. Just cut sashing and cornerstones to made a 4x5 block square to see how it looks. Won't be able to work on it for a few more days.

Blueridgebeverly 02-07-2022 09:14 PM

What a pretty quilt. Fun, bright colors. Thank you for sharing with us.

Teen 02-12-2022 03:25 PM

Love this!! Gorgeous…

WMUTeach 02-13-2022 04:37 AM

A beautiful quilt and I love the economy block. Just made a pile of them to use as a border for another quilt, a UFO! But seeing the blocks in your quilt and after watching the tutorial, I am hooked. It will go on my to do list. I have a few jelly rolls that need a good project. This is it for one of them! Thanks for the inspiration.

pbraun 02-14-2022 05:35 AM

Love how you arranged the colors.

sewbizgirl 02-18-2022 07:26 PM

Oooh, I love this!

ladyinpurple135 02-19-2022 04:35 PM

I’m a very big fan of Missouri Star - and this is in my list of super quilts. I have found myself (with a helper) in charge of our charity quilt group at one of my quilt guilds and I’m collecting all kinds of patterns that would work for our quilts - we are doing children’s quilts right now and this would be a fun, colorful one in a smaller size.

Thanks for your picture
