“Super Simple Squares” most likely refers to Missouri Star Quilt Co.’s beginner Super Simple Squares Quilt: a throw-size quilt made by joining five-inch precut squares with sashing and borders. The listed finished size is 69 by 82 inches. This is a quilting project, not a painting tutorial.

What is the Super Simple Squares quilt?

Missouri Star Quilt Co. describes a beginner project demonstrated by Jenny Doan. It uses five-inch squares with sashing rather than assembling those squares into a separate pieced block. The tutorial’s sample uses Ella by Whistler Studios for Windham Fabrics; that collection is an example, not a stated requirement. See the official Super Simple Squares Quilt tutorial.

What fabric and supplies do you need?

The Missouri Star tutorial lists the following quantities for the project:

  • Three packs of five-inch squares, often sold as charm packs
  • 2½ yards of background fabric plus inner-border fabric
  • 1½ yards of outer-border fabric
  • ¾ yard of binding fabric
  • 5 yards of backing fabric

Check the usable dimensions and square count in your chosen precut packs before starting; collections and packaging can differ. The official pattern description also summarizes the design as using packages of five-inch squares and background fabric. The tutorial’s supply list is the source for the yardages above.

How do you make it?

Follow Jenny Doan’s official tutorial for the cutting and sewing sequence. At a high level, the design joins the five-inch squares with sashing, then adds borders and finishes the quilt. Use the tutorial alongside its supply list rather than treating the short overview here as a substitute for the full instructions.

Is there a separate Super Simple Squares pattern?

Yes. Missouri Star sells a digital downloadable pattern under the name Super Simple Squares Quilt Pattern. It is distinct from the tutorial page, and the product description confirms that the design joins the squares with sashing rather than making a separate block. It lists the same finished dimensions, 69 by 82 inches. View the official digital pattern page for its format and purchase details.

Which “Super Simple Squares” does this refer to?

The title can also refer to a separate book, Super Simple Squares: Creative Uses for 6.5-inch Squares, by Lynda Milligan and Nancy Smith. That is a different work from Missouri Star’s five-inch-square quilt tutorial and pattern. This guide covers the Missouri Star quilt project.
