After I finished the Pringles - I still had pieces left over so I started on the Potato Chip Blocks.
I had some time Sunday - and look at how they are growing!
I think they are 9 1/2 inch blocks??? I should have measured .. i will before they go into a top - I usually like to square up my blocks. But now I am just having fun mindlessly stitching them.
I tried to get caught up on my blog reading too - and I saw that Cynthia at Many Hands and Many hearts has started a new block drive - a mini potato chip ish block.
I got all excited - here was another way to use up these pieces, until my brain turned on and I saw she wants the pieces 2 1/2 inch wide. NO WORRIES... I have a bin full of 2 1/2 inch strips = so will take some time and pull the colors she wants.
I really like being able to help out when I can - When I first started Quilts of Valor here so many people helped us - its nice to be able to give back, even if its just a little.
Off to play in the 2 1/2 strip bin...
Oh!!
Hopefully this works - I was making a little video for my Granddaughter ( whoa - that feels weird to say!!) so she could hear what the horsie said... My horsies were being goofy - the one in the front is just two, and the one in the back will be one on Wednesday !

Your Potato chip blocks look like a greek key, another fun way to lay out these blocks. Your 1 yr old shares his BD with me!
ReplyDeleteFun potato chip blocks... fun horse talk. And, yep, I need to make some blocks for MHMH. Thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteI always love to contribute to Cythia's block drives, too. It would be fun if some of our blocks ended up in a quilt together!
ReplyDeleteI like that block. So many possibilities! I didn't realize that yo uhad a granddaughter. What a joy!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many clever ways to arrange these patches. Thanks for yet another idea.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry for the late comment. That is a fun quilt. I love that you were able to make a video for your granddaughter, and about your horse too! Wishing you a good and speedy recovery. Take care.
