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!!

@InspiredQuiltingbyLeaLouise Ай бұрын

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

@maryannecadd796 Ай бұрын

I now know why you are so passionate about the potato chip blocks. I've just recently been able to sit at the machine (due to a knee injury) and sew some of these blocks together and I am now totally addicted!!! You can't make just one.

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! 🧵

@InspiredQuiltingbyLeaLouise Ай бұрын

It was the extra shopping that inspired me to go reversible, Anne! Especially when two go together so well. I've started a new playlist for my reversible quilt tutorials as there will be more. Thanks so much for watching! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise

@Teresa-L.2024 Ай бұрын

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.

Fancy is fun, Teresa, but fast and functional is FANTASTIC! Sure appreciate you following along. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise

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. ❤

New to this… so the center block is one 3 1/2 inch square?

@InspiredQuiltingbyLeaLouise Ай бұрын

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 love to have larger pieces of pretty fabrics in my quilts. Once you try this, you really can't make just one!! Thanks for watching! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise

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!!
