You can use this block to make a quilt with a variety of looks.
This is a great stash buster!
Stay tuned for announcements about a charity sewing day in the near future when we’ll gather to make LOTS of these addictive quilts. For now- Jeri will get us started with a table topper.
Each block takes 18 rectangles which are cut to 2 ½ x 4 ½”. This will make a 12” finished block.
For a table topper that finishes to 27” x 27” you’ll need:
1 Charm Pack
1 fat quarter (lattice)
1 fat quarter (binding)
Piece of fabric to fit (or one yard) for backing
You’ll need:
A sewing machine and basic sewing supplies, cutting mat, ruler, rotary cutter
For your demo day table toppers, bring rectangles that match your décor or that are holiday or seasonally oriented that will make a table topper that you want to keep. For the upcoming charity sewing day- any quilting cotton is perfect. Start cutting those scraps!
Here’s a link to a printable pdf.
Why do they call it a
Potato Chip Block?
Because you can’t sew just one!
