As a child, I had an uncle from the coal regions who sold potato chips. So we always had potato chips at home. Of course, being the problem child, I didn't want the chips. I craved pretzels.
One day last week, I was scrolling through Pinterest and came upon an interesting block.
Some one referred to as a "potato chip block". Wait, what? Yup, I'm behind on some of the newer blocks available to quilters. I never heard of it. Have you? I spent a lot of time investigating this and in case you haven't heard of it, the main video I found of it is here.
But there are lots of variations to this. One woman (with a very entertaining video) made a "twisted" variation of it (see here).
I found interesting color variations on Pinterest:
Apologies if you are a savvy quilter and already made some potato chips. But if you aren't, you probably have a lot of strips of fabrics that you want to use up in a scrap quilt. I hope this helps!
Have a safe and happy day!
I was determined to not be enticed by squirrels this summer, I've already made at least 10 potato chip blocks!
ReplyDeleteI have instructions for potato chip blocks but have not made a one yet - maybe that's a good thing? LOL! I do like that twist version.
ReplyDeleteNice blocks - thank you.
ReplyDeleteI'm also looking for simple blocks right now... it's supposed to be a blanket.
Actually, I'm mostly missing matching pieces of fabric... and so it's usually just a runner or pillow :-)))
Many greetings come to you from Viola.
