I made several patriotic potato chip quilts with red in the center, white on round two, and blue on round three. You can use plenty of fabric scraps and minimize the actual amount of patriotic fabric needed. Having the second round in a specific color gives the eyes a place to rest and l highly recommend this tip.
I really like this block. It would make a great scrappy quilt. I've heard it called the 'potato chip' block. You can't make just one. Thank you for your video. 🙂♥️
Thanks for sharing this! I love that there’s no need to be concerned about nesting seams … I’ll be making this with my scraps. Do you have other videos? I just ‘found’ you this morning. 🧵
Oh! the Potato Chip Block! I thought I recognized it... such a fun block to make. You could also use low volume fabrics on the inner rows for a fun twist.
I am loving your videos and blocks. I have one humble request and that is to include the size of your intended finished block and the dimensions of your squares in the description. ❤️
❤ my favorite block. I call it the potato chip block. I use it to make dozens of charity quilts. I use denim from old jeans and flannel shirts. It doesn’t require a lot of finishing, and maybe I’ll see in on some homeless person. Jo Ann😊😊
Thank you for showing this tutorial. I'm going to use my little scraps up and see how it turns out. I really enjoy all your videos but rarely make a comment. Best wishes. Maggie J. from England.
Jo Parrott published this block design in her 2010 book "Favorite Traditional Quilts Made Easy". That book is available thru Amazon, as well as "Big Book of Scrappy Quilts", a compilation, which also includes the block. This information was included in the March 5 video "Scrappy Rectangles" by Inspired Quilting by Lea Louise. It's fun to track it back as far as we can--who knows how long quilters have been enjoying it! Everyone adds new interest, but Conquering Mount Scrapmore made it famous! The Cut and Create video uses such lovely fabrics and her block turned out so beautifully. I will be back for more.
I’m new to quilting and find that I suck at joining so that the points meet perfectly. I think I would like this. Would love to see it just all one piece and also doing the blocks and maybe adding a solide color to join.
Beautiful block. I notice you didn't follow the traditional Courthouse steps color distribution = North & South steps are dark fabrics and East & West steps are light fabrics. It took me a couple of minutes to figure out the "Broken" steps idea. 🙃
So excellent, I'm now completely inspired to do this. I have the usual zillion scraps (that will be my goto) but, what fabric did you use? Also really very pretty! So glad I found you. - I'm drawn to the less "complexicated", I love the joy and beauty of the simpler blocks - Churndash is a favorite (but i also love Sister's Choice 😊). Have a very pretty day! ❤ Abigail, in beautiful New Hampshire
Great block! Do you find the seam guide you are using to be very helpful? Maintaining a proper quarter inch seam is so important for blocks with lots of pieces.
Did you say you can just keep adding this size piece(s) to make a larger block than you have here? I’d love this to be a table topper too! Also, I cannot find this pattern on Pinterest. Is there a way to link it? TIA
Add to it by 3 down left, 3 down right, 4 across top, 4 across bottom which makes 16 inch finished square Continue by adding 1 to each of above numbers and 4 to resulting square
I have been searching on Pinterest also. The only quilt that looks just like this they call it potato chips quilt. I still haven’t found the pattern for that one lol
I’m going to make this but to make more than 1 block it into a quilt should I use washing between blocks or just sew the blocks together? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
Did you say 2-1/2 by 4-1/2 rectangles. I hope so 😅. I have a whole bunch leftovers to make quite a few of these blocks. Looks like fun, just as soon as I get my household goods moved.😊
Thank you so much. I am new to your channel and love what you are doing. I cannot seem to find the posted picture. Is it someplace like Facebook?@@CutandCreate
You should review your recording before posting. Everytime you switch back to the machine there is a terrible glare for a few seconds. That glare is annoying and hurts my eyes. I like the pattern alot.
