Thank you Flexispot for my new awesome desk! Don't forget to check out all the discounts on the Flexispot website. And let me know what you think about my potato chip quilt blocks! 😂😂 Enjoy! Sandy
I have wonky blocks, no big deal. It makes it unique and someone that doesn’t know anything about quilts. Will never know. I can’t sew straight for nothing so I don’t worry about it. Thank you, Sandy.
I've made multiple versions of the potato chip quilt and I love it! I make a lot of charity quilts and this block is perfect for it. I always cut bricks when working on other projects so I have a tub ready to go all the time.
Thank you for the encouragement to keep sewing quilts! Many years ago, I took a quilt piecing class and got so discouraged because the teacher insisted on perfect seams, and I just couldn't do it! So I gave up. But seeing how cute your quilts turn out, I'm encouraged to try again!
That's kind of heartbreaking, that people take classes to learn to do something and get started and leave the classes completely discouraged. For me, it's all about the doing it and having fun in the process, the rest is definitely not as important... Please, do. Give it another go and we're all here if you have any questions 😁
Don't give up. I'm a new quilter and a wonky sewer and my works so far look good. Self taught with the big help from Sandy and other RUclips tuitions. 💞
I recommend Merry Mabel Market and Amy Dement's channels. They are all about straight ish, and Merry's catch phrases are it doesn't matter and who cares. She has a quilt called twinkling stars because its triangles at random angles so they kind of twinkle
I absolutely loved your video and this pattern!! I have been wanting to quilt and have looked at so many patterns, but can't decide. This seems like a good starting point. Thank you and thank you for the links!
I like scrappy quilts but only IF there’s still some kind of order or pattern. Most folks make the potato chip quilt as a giant hodgepodge. I love what you did and how you explain it.
I highly recommend Clutter Bug. I found her approach to organizing and decluttering worked brilliantly for me. Also, I had to cyber stalk you to find out where your adorable accent is from. Ha! Found it! :-)
I loved seeing this potato chip done in two color ways. This really gives me some ideas, like taking a warm color block and a cool color block cutting them in half, then sewing one of each color together, for a 1/2 & 1/2 block. (But it wouldn't be exactly square, having been cut, but there's ways to get around that!).
I’m scared of white but can picture versions using black or swapping the white for cool tones with mixed warms and vice versa 🤩 Keep the scrap busters coming!!
I now know I'm a wonky sewer 😂 No matter how hard I try to be better, it hasn't worked. But...I only started quilting last month, so time for improvement, and I love what I've made so far. 5 projects but 2 are work in progress. 💞
Hi, there was! I woke up with the house shaking, never felt that before but luckily it was all okay. The pets didn't even noticed it, only when the car alarms started up. Thank you so much for asking 😀
I like to find a print with a great variety of colors that speak to me. When I pull fabrics that coordinate with the inspiration piece, they coordinate with each other.
Hi Julie, it's amazing, I love mine. You can find a link in the description for Flexispot desks and all the offers they have available right now. Mine is an E7 plus.
I think a little wonky is just giving the quilt some personality. I will say that making a potato chip quilt can help a beginner get more consistent on their seams The more you do them the better you get. But even if you get some wonky in there, it's a very forgiving pattern. Your quilt will be so pretty!
I had to laugh. I also watch too many YT videos on how to organize, not just scraps, but the entire craft room. I think I have watched too many videos and now have action paralysis. 😢
I love the way your quilt turned out... but to my eye it looks more planned than scrappy... when I think of a scrappy quilt... there are all kinds of shapes and sizes of fabric and you really dont notice where the blocks come together
Thank you Flexispot for my new awesome desk!

And let me know what you think about my potato chip quilt blocks! 😂😂
Enjoy!

I've never heard about the Potato Chip block before. I can't wait to try it! Thanks Sandy
@@JeanMcDoniel my pleasure, give it a try, it's so much fun!
I love your videos!
@@marytherriault336 thank you 😊
What size did you get?
That became such a lovely quilt!! Thank you so much. 😊❤
Sandy your sewing isn't wonky. You sew with love and character. That's what my daughters tell me. You're great. Thanks for your videos
You're daughters sound lovely. Thank you 🥰
My friend told me my stuff is made with love and if she wanted perfect she could buy it from a store. I loved that.
@@TheSuwanneeMama absolutely 😊
Sandy, your enthusiasm for quilting is contagious. I appreciate your fun attitude while trying new projects.
thank you!
Nice to see someone else as excited as me about scrappy quilts…haha thx 😊😊😊
I have wonky blocks, no big deal. It makes it unique and someone that doesn’t know anything about quilts. Will never know. I can’t sew straight for nothing so I don’t worry about it. Thank you, Sandy.
Absolutely, may as well embrace it 😁
Nice idea to change the color and the position of the white
I've made multiple versions of the potato chip quilt and I love it! I make a lot of charity quilts and this block is perfect for it. I always cut bricks when working on other projects so I have a tub ready to go all the time.
Yes, it's a perfect project for that, you can use scraps,. it's quick enough to do and the results are stunning 😀
Sandy, you spoke to my heart ❤❤❤
Love the variation of the colors
Love that 🥰🥰🥰

I love how you did your blocks! I have seen several people make the “potato chip” block. Yours was different & I love it! Thanks for sharing it!
My pleasure 😀
Sandy, I love how joyful you are. Thank you for sharing this block.💗
Thank you 😊
I didn't know about the earthquake but im glad that you all are doing OK. Thanks for the block !!! ❤❤❤
Thank you 😊
I loved the outcome, it was beautiful. I learned more about using the color wheel.
Thank you 😊
I absolutely loved your video and this pattern!! I have been wanting to quilt and have looked at so many patterns, but can't decide. This seems like a good starting point. Thank you and thank you for the links!
Great! Happy sewing 🧵
That turned out great!!
Really enjoy watching your tutorials..
Thank you 😊
I made two potato chip quilts in the past year and have finally got my scraps under control. And it was fun!
Love that! It really is the best for scraps
very nice Sandy!
Gorgeous! 😊
Thank you
Placing colored cut fabrics like on a color wheel was a new way to match colors. 👍🎶
I like scrappy quilts but only IF there’s still some kind of order or pattern. Most folks make the potato chip quilt as a giant hodgepodge. I love what you did and how you explain it.
Yes, the traditional version is too chaotic for me as well 🙂
Good use of your scraps!
It's beautiful...thank you..❤❤❤❤
Omgoodness I absolutely love this
👏👏👏. It’s now in my wannado list!
❤️😀
Let me know how it goes 😉
Wow sandy u motivated me to get bk into my old passion thank u.
That's awesome! My work here is done! 😀
Love that.
Love this! And love this woman! She’s so fun to listen to. Will be watching her other posts 👌🏼🧵📍🪡
Thank you so much 😊 have a great day!
I made one 3 years ago and have the pieces cut for another. It seems like it has recently become popular. I gifted the quilt to my oldest daughter.
That's lovely
Thank you for the inspiration!! I sew wonky too 😉 it keeps things interesting for sure. 😂
And unique! 😂😂😂
I highly recommend Clutter Bug. I found her approach to organizing and decluttering worked brilliantly for me. Also, I had to cyber stalk you to find out where your adorable accent is from. Ha! Found it! :-)
Hehhehe thank you 😊
I hope all is ok Sandy. I like your blocks 😊😊
Thank you. Do you mean about the earthquake? We're all great, it was just a surreal way to wake up in the middle of the night 😂
@@seweasybysandy that is good to hear ❤️
I love them both, thank you
Very well explained n wonderful quilt
Love it. Great idea. I also think I might add a four patch in the coloured centre. I feel it could balance better maybe?
Yes, that would really cool, yes
So gorgeous.
Thank you great tutorial greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪 ❤
Hi! How's the weather in Sweden?
7:45 "... I've been this way all my life ...." me too! in my case when i count over and over i still get different amounts! frustrating!!! 😮
Yes, that happens a lot!
Sew cute!!!! ❤

(But it wouldn't be exactly square, having been cut, but there's ways to get around that!).
That would look awesome. Yes, there's no way to get a perfect square that way withou ruining all the other halves.
I have a similar table ❤ mine, for all the reasons you mentioned.
It's great! 😀
I’m scared of white but can picture versions using black or swapping the white for cool tones with mixed warms and vice versa 🤩
Keep the scrap busters coming!!
Yes, a black version will look gorgeous! 😊
I like this a lot. I'm just starting out, but the scraps multiply as I get fabric from different sources. Thanks for the demonstration.
Yeah, scrap piles grow really fast and these kinds of projects are perfect to use them.
Nice!
Thank you. Love it.
I would have to trim up each section as i go along so each sections outer edges line up,hence no "wonky".
I now know I'm a wonky sewer 😂 No matter how hard I try to be better, it hasn't worked. But...I only started quilting last month, so time for improvement, and I love what I've made so far. 5 projects but 2 are work in progress. 💞
Hi Sandra, that's awesome! And yes, as with anything, you do improve with practice. Happy sewing! 🧵
I’ve got wonky work myself but I keep on going. The more you quilt the better u get . Keep up the quilting💕
Hello Sandy,
Just read in the News,That there has been an earthquake for the Portugal Coast.,thuis morning.Are you alright?
Hi, there was! I woke up with the house shaking, never felt that before but luckily it was all okay. The pets didn't even noticed it, only when the car alarms started up. Thank you so much for asking 😀
I like to find a print with a great variety of colors that speak to me. When I pull fabrics that coordinate with the inspiration piece, they coordinate with each other.
Yeah, that's a great way too 😁
Which table did you get? I have been searching for a new sewing table and I have almost decided this was the right one.
Mine is the E7Pro. I love it,.it totally changed the way I do things around here.
Following you now i make quilts but with bandanas
That sounds so cool! 😁
@@seweasybysandy Thank you
Could you please provide a link to this table for me? I love the large size of it!!! Thanks!!
Hi Julie, it's amazing, I love mine. You can find a link in the description for Flexispot desks and all the offers they have available right now. Mine is an E7 plus.

I will say that making a potato chip quilt can help a beginner get more consistent on their seams The more you do them the better you get. But even if you get some wonky in there, it's a very forgiving pattern. Your quilt will be so pretty!
Thank you. And yes, this is excellent sewing practice 😁
❤️❤️❤️
Why do you sew using only the sleeve arm of your machine?
Hi. Because I usually use the quilting table but it takes up too much space and I have no idea where the other part is 🤷
What is the name of your cutting table
It's a Flexispot E7 Pro. I love it so much 🥰
I had to laugh. I also watch too many YT videos on how to organize, not just scraps, but the entire craft room. I think I have watched too many videos and now have action paralysis. 😢
Yeah, absolutely! It's so overwhelming!!
Ive been organizing for a while now. It does look better but I can’t find anything!
@@nanashouse202 yes, that's my problem when I try organizing them too
😮😢😂
I love the way your quilt turned out... but to my eye it looks more planned than scrappy... when I think of a scrappy quilt... there are all kinds of shapes and sizes of fabric and you really dont notice where the blocks come together
Yes, this is definitely more structured than the usual scrappy quilt. Still a great scrap buster though 😊
I am beyond putting stuff like furniture together anymore, hate it.
If I’m working on a scrappy quilt, I just grab and sew. I can’t be bothered in trying to coordinate colors.🤪🤪
Usually I do that too,. it's the best way,. really. But for this one I really wanted the contrasts to work in the middle of all that white 😀
your pile of scraps has nothing on mine, multiply that pile by about 50
That's a lot of pretty fabric 🤩🤩🤩
To much white in it
Talk less work more 😊
Too tooo much
