The ratio of blue to the colored pieces is very pleasing to the eye.

Thank you. The colors really did work out well in this quilt. Taking the time initially to pull the fabrics all together really helped me establish what I wanted to create. A bit like creating a map. This was really a fun quilt to make! Sure appreciate you watching. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise

I was just thinking about that. Your eye has a resting place in the blues and with the brighter ones a way to travel around the quilt to see all the different patterns. I did not see that in the big blocks you were showing so I definitely would need to use a design board to step back and find those areas that could benefit from blocks of similar quiet colors.

I love this quilt and just looks beautiful to me. Love scrappy quilts.

I think it's fun to get fabric from other people - quite often it's something I would never have picked - but this style of scrappy blocks means you can use those fabrics and get a gorgeous result. LOVE the blues with the yellow/gold. I tried making a potato chip block and yeah, I'm making a quilt with them. Not only are they so easy and fast to sew, but there are also just endless possibilities with how much or how little "randomness" you want and the overall look. I even chose colors I'd normally not put together ( a minty green with hot pink and orange) and it's just popping. The block is also phenomenal for making quick pillowcases that looks amazing.

I just found you 3 or 4 weeks ago and I'm really enjoyed your videos. I am 75 years old and have been seeing since my early 20's. For many years, I sewed for myself, my boys, but mostly little girls things with English Smocking. I only started piecing about 3 years ago. I have a lot to learn and not a lot of time to do it. I just wish I had started a lot sooner. I also do machine embroidery. I want to do some scrap quilts. Not having piecing that long, I don't have a lot of scraps. I am fortunate to have two friends who have given me a lot of scraps. I live in Elizabethton, Tennessee(northeast). Looking forward to more of your videos. Also, I love to hear your voice Gloria

Did you leave your center squares at 8” or did you trim them to 7-1/2”? If you cut your rectangles at 7-1/2” x 4” you could not start with an 8” block…unless you first pair of rectangles were 4” x 8”.

@mignonnerogers6848

I guess I don’t know the math process for this, but why could it not be left at 8” and cut the rectangles 4”x8”? Does it not layer out properly?

Ай бұрын

It's the seam allowance that throws the math off! We'd need a 4.5" x 8" rectangle for an 8" center square. That's why I did the sample block just to be sure I had it right. 😊 Your numbers would work for the finished size blocks, but you need to add the seam allowance to both pieces.

No short answer to this one, Barbara! This is actually a variation of the Courthouse Steps Log Cabin block. I've seen it called the Fractured C-Steps Log Cabin. It's had other names over the years like the Lumberjack Quilt and Scrappy Rectangles. But most recently it was dubbed the Potato Chip Block because you can't make just one!
