30-years ago, my daughter and I made a patchwork quilt. Her job was to decide what patch went where. She thought it would be fun to dump them in a bag and pull one at a time. We still have (love and use) the quilt.
Oh that is wonderful thank you for sharing! What a fun way to make a quilt!
Love it Fallon, scrappy is great and I like the little blocks!
Glad you like it! Thank you!
Thank you 😊 I’m going to make 1 also 🎉
You’re welcome 😊. Happy Sewing!
Stunning how that turned out. scrappy quilts are just the most fun
Thank you so much for your kind words! I love how scrappy quilts can turn into beautiful masterpieces with a bit of creativity.
That quilt turned out beautiful! ❤
Thank you! 😊
I tell people I'm not a quilter, I'm a pieced top maker lol
LOL, that's awesome! I may need to use that! I have more unfinished tops than finished quilts for sure!
Hi Fallon! Awesome! I love your trim tools so much!! I use them at every opportunity I get. Thanks for 1 more lol never thought of using the flying geese one for these. I make quite a few potato chip blocks. Fun and easy.
These are so fun to make and you’ll be trimming your scraps even faster for the block with this idea!
Turned out great ❤
Thank you! 😊
I have never made this before, but it sure looks fun. I think it is one I definitely will try. It is lovely. thank you
Hope you enjoy it!
@@sewbeitquilts I am sure I will, thank you so much for sharing it with us. God Bless
Soooo cute….
Thank you!
Very timely tutorial as I am in the process of doing Red, White, and Blue Quilts for my 3 veteran brothers.
Your brothers will be receiving such wonderful gifts! This is so thoughtful of you!
Thank you Fallon.
Excellent idea for small orphan blocks. Love the finished block. Thanks for sharing!
You’re welcome! Thank you for watching!
How does vodka and distilled water do anything to fabric
It works like a light starch. The ingredients used to make vodka contain starch… such as corn and potatoes.
Your twist really elevates the block...clever girl! Definitely worth making those tiny blocks because it absolutely makes the quilt. Bravo! 👏
Thanks so much! 😊
I cannot resist a tiny star!Your quilt is so pretty!!!
Aww, thanks! Tiny stars are the best, right? 🌟
Thank you Fallon, for the shout out! I hope you have a wonderful week ahead!
You are welcome! I always try to give credit to where I found inspiration!
Love your little center block!! I am so grateful to Brenda for sharing this block with us!! I have done three videos using the chips in different ways!!! I have another one in mind!! This is truly the block that keeps on giving!!! Love your channel and the way you teach!!
Thank you so much for watching and your kind compliment! I will have to go find your videos sharing this block!
I really like having a pieced square in the center of the potato chip block. It appears more cohesive and gives the eye place to rest. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! I'm really happy to hear that you appreciate the design choice.
Good idea, love your spin on the potato chip block
Thank you!
What a fun idea. Makes just the cutest block
thank you!
In the center, you could also use a plain square for an I-spy or fussy-cut block!
Thank you for sharing that suggestion! This is such a great idea!
That's the first potato chip block I've really liked! Without those stars, I feel like it would be too much for the eye. But this is just perfect!
Thank you for your kind words! I’m thrilled that you enjoyed the chip block design!
Beautiful quilt
Thank you! 😊
Great idea!❤👍from Somerset UK
Thanks for the kind words! I really appreciate your support and enthusiasm!
I've made 3-4 of these quilt tops. I haven't quilted them yet. One is going to be turned into a quilt coat. The last one I just finished is made of 2 blocks - yellow and blue and white and blue. I made it with alternating colors so they are like square rings of color - if that makes sense. I made 20 blocks and it makes about a 64x80 quilt. I think the blocks are 15/16" inches square? These are so easy and fun to make. They make a great project to cleanse your sxewing palette. I have a bin now that is bursting with 2.5x4.5" rectangles. Love yours with the stars in the middle!
Wow, it sounds like you’ve been busy creating some beautiful quilt tops! I love the idea of turning one into a quilt coat-what a fantastic project!
If you started with a center block that was the size of a sawtooth star plus the first round of potato chips, what size would that block be?
I am trying to remember from when I was working on the block. I think it was about 8". I think it would be 8" finished and 8.5" unfinished.
@@sewbeitquilts, thank you!
I love scrappy quilts. I used to work in 2 quilt shops. My last boss gives me scraps that she doesn’t want to put into scrap bags. I love using them for scrap quilts, I get to try many different looks, and don’t put expense into them. I haven’t tried a potato chip block, but I want to. Brenda is just in Edmonton, which is next door to my city.
It's wonderful to hear how much you love scrappy quilts! They really allow for so much creativity and expression. I hope you enjoy trying out the potato chip block when you get the chance! Brenda is so kind!
How much backing fabric?
I believe I purchased 5 yards and used the extra for binding!
Thanks for sharing this idea!
You are so welcome!
I love that quilt top you have hung up behind you… What pattern is it?
Thank you! Here is a link to it. kzread.info/dash/bejne/Yqd-0Md7lpvTmNI.html
So cute, this would be nice with fussy cut centers too
I think so too!
I have made multiple potato chip quilts. I love how quickly they come together. You can save time by chain piecing pairs of the 2.5 x 4.5 squares. Your finished quilt was beautiful!
That's a great idea!
Churndash
Yes! Would be a perfect block!
Four patch or nine parch
Crumbs would be cute
Yes! Great idea!
Fallon perfect timing of this video, I’m currently doing 3.5x6.5 blocks scraps cut with my trim lock I purchased from y’all🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
I was thinking it would be great to size this up so the center block doesnt have to be as tiny! I am so happy to know this size would work too!
For a simple pattern, I found it very easy to fold the charms and cut them the wrong way. I can “adjust” I think, but “simple” can be deceiving. Great pattern . Thanks for sharing. 21:07
Im sorry that you didnt find it easy. I tried to explain it well for all experience levels.
@@sewbeitquilts It was easy! I’m just a Doofus! I knew better than to cut before checking twice. I just didn’t do it. It’s probably a key to the success of the pattern, part of the reason it’s so appealing. I love the pattern and will try it again on my mountain of charm squares. It’s a great twist on the disappearing tack in patterns.
I’m curious about the pink and green quilt top in the background. The pattern and the fabric. I scrolled through your videos and didn’t see it. Can you provide info about it? This video was great BTW. I am looking forward to seeing what you do with all the tiny triangles! 😊
I think this is the video you are looking for. Please let me know if it is the wrong one. kzread.info/dash/bejne/Yqd-0Md7lpvTmNI.html
Nice block. I do like a good potato chip block
Thank you!
Those stars are so cute! Why would you even consider throwing them away. Even your little bitty HSTs, if you decide you can't use them, just donate them to another quilter.
Oh there is no way I could throw them out! It is my favorite block!
this is a fun block. I use it for beginner and enders to make additional quilts for my favorite local charity. Great video/tutorial😊
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! Using beginner and enders is a great way to maximize your quilting time, and it's wonderful to hear you're making quilts for charity!
Love this idea!!! Thanks for sharing!!♥️♥️♥️
Thank you so much for your kind words! It means a lot to me that you enjoyed the content!
Your blocks look like QOV blocks. I have made tons of potato chip blocks but never with a center like yours. Thanks for the idea.
I'm glad you found inspiration in the design! QOV blocks are such a beautiful way to create meaningful quilts.
I have every intention to make a quilt out of the potato chip block. But alll kinds of other quilts keep getting me distracted.
Haha, I feel you! So many quilts, so little time! Just have fun with it all!
I love the tiny star blocks and the quit is very pretty.😊🧡💛
I'm so glad you love the tiny star blocks! They add such a charming touch, don't they?
This was a great quilt! It would be cute with a fussy cut center block in each of the 9.
I’m glad you liked the quilt! A fussy cut center block would definitely add a unique touch to each section. Great idea!
What a good idea. So many things you could put in the center I have made many potato chip blocks. They are so fun to make.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It’s awesome to hear you’re enjoying making those potato chip blocks. Keep the creativity flowing!
Great idea, it looks so cute!
Thank you! 😊
I have always made things like that and didn’t know it was an actual thing👍🏻
It's amazing how many creative things we do without realizing they have names or communities around them! Keep making those awesome creations!
I have a lot of 4 patches that I did for leader and enders. I think I am going to make some with the potato chip blocks
That sounds like a fun project! Mixing those patches with potato chip blocks will definitely add some unique flair to your work. Can't wait to see how it turns out!
