I just sat and watched this potato chip quilt. I love it and love that it is reversible. I can't wait to make one.

I already made a potato chip quilt with an 8" center clock and 2"x4" rectangles. Such a fun and easy quilt!! Thanks for sharing your ideas with the larger rectangles! I will be making more for sure!!

You'll love this larger rectangle, Sharon! Easier to cut and quicker to sew. That's probably why this quilt was finished in less than a week! Thanks for watching! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise

I've got 3 gallon sized zip lock bags full of 2 1/2 x 4 1/2 strips To make blocks. I think I might need more. Having fun doing this. Thank you.

Wow! Why didn’t I think of making a reversible quilt before??? I have a few tops that can be joined instead of shopping for backing. Thanks for the inspiration! 🧵

Beautiful quilt!

Your quilts are always beautiful. Love all the colors!

I think I'm going to do this. I have so many FQs I've collected over the years and really need to use them up. I love scrappy quilts. They really say "use me!". You just want to snuggle up in them unlike the fancy quilts that are more for show.

That is a great idea to make simple patchwork backing. I’ve got soooo many orphan charm packs in stash (I like how we can call a hoarding situation a “stash” 😂). This is a joyful way to finally utilize them. Thank you for the inspiration. ❤

Generally the center is two rectangles sewn side to side. In this case they would equal a 6.5-inch square, which is what I used in place of the double block center.

I guess I have to guess what a potato chip block is. Never heard of it. You seem to be making a variation but what's the basic?

@InspiredQuiltingbyLeaLouise

Ай бұрын

Oh, Betty, beware these blocks will grab you and not let go! The name was recently given in jest as 'You can't make just one!' It's actually a variation of the courthouse steps log cabin block. Instead of strips the 'logs' are made of bricks. It's a wonderful scrappy quilt and has so many different variations which I've been hooked on for a couple months now! 😂 Proceed with caution!!
