I discovered the potato chip block on YouTube like many other quilters and was interested in using my scraps. One of my sisters said her granddaughter only wanted pink so I pulled all my pink scraps to make her the Pink Potato Chip quilt. I used the block variation with a lighter round after dark center 2 bricks.
I recommend the potato chip block as it is easy, made with only one size unit, few matching seams, and several color value variations can make it more interesting. You can also easily change the size brick unit or even the number of rounds. Search YouTube or Google and you will find many tutorials and inspiration. Give the potato chip block a try.
Yesterday I made good progress quilting my March Block a Day quilt with half log blocks and should have it finished by Monday. After many days with lots of lawn and garden work, it felt good to get some quilting done.
I'm linking with Alycia Quilts for Finished (or Not) Friday. Hope you check out what other quilting are doing.
Have a great week and enjoy some time for quilting.
Your granddaughter will love her quilt! I've made one potato chip quilt using random fabrics for a charity quilt. Sometime I would like to make a more organized one but there are so many quilts to make! Happy stitching!
