Potato chip quilt

I love anything goes scrappy quilts for donation projects. You never know exactly how they will turn out. A great pattern for this sort of quilt is the Potato Chip block. All you need is a big pile…

Design your block and quilt size and find fabric requirements for the entire quilt.

I hosted my very first Sew Along through my shop the Friday and Saturday after Thanksgiving (November 25 & 26, 2022). We made Potato Chip blocks. I thought I would share the clues here with you in case you want to make some too. It won't be a mystery like it was for my participants, but it's still fun. To get started you need to cut a bunch of 2" by 3.5" pieces from scraps. Don't worry about color or value. If you can get at least one 2" by 3.5" piece from the scrap use it! You will need…

My friend, Colleen, made several Potato Chip quilts for charity, and then got the idea to make a one block quilt — a giant Potato Chip block. She cut the rectangles 6 1/2″ x 12 1/2.R…

Scrappy potato chip block using all my brights

Good day and welcome to my blog. You may have heard of the potato chip quilt pattern? You can't make just one block! Well this past weekend and early this week I cut pieces and started piecing these blocks. It was fun! I used 2.5 inch by 4.5 inch fabric pieces, finishing at 2 by 4 inches. This is a common size. You can cut your fabrics in other sizes - but you must keep the proportion of 2:1 the same (plus seam allowances!). So 3 inch by 6 inch blocks (finished) - cut pieces 3.5 by 6.5…

Now that you guys know about our new pre-cut, Brody is here this week showing you guys how to make this super easy Potato Chip Quilt in a day! We love quilts...

I finally got all 20 blocks made and sewn together! I have some pieces left over. I am thinking about putting a small inner border around this, probably 2" cut, then sew all my remaining pieces together to make an outer border. Not sure if that will happen or if I will just quilt it as it currently is. I have other projects in process right now so this one will have to wait for a bit longer to get finished. As a reminder, if you want the free instructions for the Potato Chip block, click…

I've been working to finish things recently. Some folks have told me that it looks like a jumbled mess. Yes, it's hard to see the actual block and it's really scrappy. There was no plan for this. I just started sewing pieces together and didn't worry too much about it. But I like scrappy quilts. And I like this one. If you don't, then fine - it's not your quilt. Barb H. participated in the Sew Along too and recently sent me a photo of her finished quilt. She took color into account when…
