The Potatos are cooked

 As in - I am done - I am calling it ready to quilt - I am moving on!!

And also - I saw that my piles weren't getting done as fast... ha ha - so instead of 60 x 80 - it is 60 x 60 ,

That is a perfect size for something right?  I stacked the rest of the pieces that didn't get used and they will make their debut in a different project... but!

Potato Chips is done and ready to quilt!!

On to the next thing on my table! I have to be honest - I didn't know I could stack so many things in one place.

Potato Chip Blocks

 Your all that and a bag of chips?

I started Pringles - Pringles was topped, I had pieces left... I have started a Potato Chip quilt... it keeps growing - and I'm not out of scraps... How big will it be?

Each block is 10 inched unfinished

And when I stopped for the night (or two nights) 

I am one block short for a 5 x 6...

But the cookie tray with the 2 x 3 1/2 inch pieces.... is not empty... at all.... and 50 x 60 just doesn't seem big enough for anyone I know. I am thinking I will try to get enough blocks for a 60 x 80 quilt.

Get Er Done!!! Right? I am sort of afraid to see what else in in my piles 😓

Blocks, Blocks, and more Blocks ... and Finished (or not) Friday

Today is an *or not* Friday - but man did we have a fun week!

Started with our Regular QOV sew day - 

I had such fun making blocks for Cynthias Many Hands Many Hearts drive that we stole it!!! and !!

Made 94 blocks for our sew day . We need 80 per quilt, and I have 160 cut - can you believe it!!   ( ps Cynthia - the blocks I made for you will be winging out soon)

Then I was invited to be the speaker at my Home Guild - Pieceable Friends in Greeley - and before the program 10 of us got together and did a workshop.

I cut enough blocks for 4 quilts - we got all the blocks done, and even got a few rows assembled

But wait!! There is more!!

Remember my scrappy start to Popsicle Sticks?

Block components are made - and ready to assemble!!

No finishes - but lots of progress on the starts!!

How was your week?

Many Hearts Many Hands Potato Chip Ish blocks

 Many Hearts Many Hands is having another block drive with these cute little blocks - super easy to make, and!! Surprisingly all out of my scrap bin:

Prepping!! ↑

And now - A few blocks are stitched:

↓

You all knew I had the Blue - but ... were you surprised at the orange? haha!! Ya - me neither...

These are kind of fun- got more to make, and then I  think I will hang on to them for a bit, and maybe over the month I can prep some more in the colorways she asked for...

I think the drive is going until August.

Potato Chip Blocks

 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 !

Finished Pringles and!! Finished ( or not) Friday!

Happy Friday!!!

I have finished my 350 pringles for the swap!!! and I am 2/3 of the way finished with the other 150 we make to keep for ourselves. So! They are all in a bucket until the swap is swapped. 

I thought they were due Memorial Day - they are not, it is Labor day - so! I am ahead of the game. So proud of that!!

<<All the pretties.... Pringles - *Once you Pop, you can't stop* haha!!

But then!!! I had a pile of scraps out so I just kept cutting the scraps up - so now I have this whole cookie tray of pieces - and so!!

Any good quilter would start another project .... right???

So I started some Potato Chip blocks!!

We will see how many I can get out of this pile.  What happens if I just keep cutting scraps - How big do you think the piles would get????  

That is scary to think of!!

Also- We made Cabbage Pizza - You slice the head of cabbage into 1 inch thick rounds, and bake it for 15 minutes alone, then you put Pizza topping on and cook for another 15-20 minutes.

It was surprisingly good - and we will have it again.

Also : progress - I got taken out of the boot and now have an air cast. Jury is out on if it is easier or not, cuz I just got it. and I have to be in it for 6-8 weeks... Check up in 5 weeks....

At least I am level now haha. And maybe I can find a shoe to wear. He told me to stick with my 4wheeler Dog walking for a while  - just to keep it *rested* 

He ( the doctor) also told me no horse riding for at least 3 weeks. I think I might have cried over that. 

Your turn!!!  What did you Finish ( or not) this week?
