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!!
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
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.
You Go Girl! So glad you're enjoying these quilt blocks, Debbie. Thanks so much for watching! Happy Quilting,
Lea Louise
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! 🧵
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
I always use a 6 1/2” ruler and love it! Just how my brain works
Thankfully I can do it now, too, Judy! It just took me a while to get the hang of it. 😂 Thanks so much for watching! Happy Quilting,
Lea Louise
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
Beautiful quilt!
🐝🐝Thank you great idea. I want to make a quilted jacket and might try it out using this potato chip block. ❤️🇳🇿
Sounds like a great idea, Beebee! So many different ideas to try, too. Have fun making your jacket. Thanks for watching! Happy Quilting,
Lea Louise
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.
💕 Lea, I wanted to let you know, how much I enjoy your videos. You explain so well... making it very easy to understand. Thank you 🙏💕
Thank you so much for your kind words, Jodi! Thanks so much for watching! Happy Quilting,
Lea Louise
Beautiful quilt I love the colors. Thank you 🙏🏾 for sharing. God bless you and your family have a blessed day.
I'm glad you enjoyed the quilt! Thanks so much for watching. Blessings to you and Happy Quilting,
Lea Louise
Thank You! I have been watching your series of potato chip quilts and loved how you backed with a 2nd quilt.
Your videos are so full of information! I look forward to your videos.
So appreciate you kind words, Anita. Glad you liked the reversible idea as I think it looks awesome. Thanks so much for watching! Happy Quilting,
Lea Louise
I’m having so much fun working on the potato chip quilts.
Aren't they wonderful, Vera?! Glad you're enjoying these quilt blocks! I have to make myself move on...at least for a couple weeks. 😂😂😂 Thanks for watching! Happy Quilting,
Lea Louise
Your taste in fabric is stunning. Love love love!
Thanks so much, Elizabeth! That's probably the biggest reason why I quilt! I've loved fabric since I started making my own clothes so many years ago. Sure appreciate you following along! Happy Quilting,
Lea Louise
Dear Lea Louise, I just fell in love with your new quilt…… ❤
Both sides are beautiful, thanks for sharing this with the world.
Lots of love, ka de slang (Carolina)
So appreciate your comment, Carolina! Thanks so much for watching! Happy Quilting,
Lea Louise
Like the idea of low volume around the center square. A GREAT FAST Quilt to do for my daughter. Thinking of working in a definitive color palette! Enjoy your videos
Great plan for your next quilt, Carollynn! You daughter will be thrilled. 😊 Thanks so much for watching! Happy Quilting,
Lea Louise
Loved the colours in your quilt top. Using bigger pieces of fabric certainly makes things move along quickly.. Thanks as always for your handy sewing tips 🥰
You are so welcome, Lesley! These bigger rectangles make this quilt sew up fast. Thanks for following along! Happy Quilting,
Lea Louise
I don't really llike potato chip quilts, but I enjoy watching your video 🙂
The first one I made was just to try it out and I liked the results. But then new ideas kept popping in my head I still haven't stopped. I thought I had until yesterday and then this idea came that I just couldn't resist. Be sure to check out my new creation when it's released later today! Sure appreciate you following along. Happy Quilting,
Lea Louise
This is one of your BEST VIDEOS ❤️👍🏻❤️
That's awesome to hear, Sue! This was such a fun quilt to make and I love both sides. Especially the way they contrast each other. I have another reversible I want to work on that'll be gorgeous, too. Quilting is so awesome, isn't it?! Thanks so much for watching! Happy Quilting,
Lea Louise
I’ve made several potato chip quilts and a couple of videos on them too! 💚
You're PCB quilts are awesome! So glad you're having fun with them too. I've added a link to your channel to my 'Favorite Channels' on my channel's home page. Sure appreciate you following along! Happy Quilting,
Lea Louise

Beautiful and easy quilt. For sure, I can make this. Thank you for this video, Lea Louise.
Of course you can do it, Eleste! You'll enjoy this quilt a lot. Thanks so much for watching! Happy Quilting,

Great idea , I may try this on my current project ❤
Go for it! It sure makes for a great finished quilt! Thanks so much for watching! Happy Quilting,
Lea Louise
I love the potato chips quilts, so well explained which I appreciate cause I am new to quilting. Could you do a potato chip quilt that is quilt as you go without sashing on front of the quilt
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. ❤
That's a great idea to use all that fabric, Diana! My idea is the more 'stash' we use then the more fabric we can buy! 😂 Thanks for watching. Happy Quilting,
Lea Louise
Great idea, thank you 😊
Glad you're inspired with these ideas, Marcella! Thanks so much for watching! Happy Quilting,
Lea Louise
I can’t wait to try this one!
You should, Ellen! It'll become a favorite you'll want to make more of. Thanks so much for watching! Happy Quilting,
Lea Louise
Did the exact same thing making the "sugar roll" quilt... FORGETTING THAT HALF INCH..... super smart of you to point this out!
You made me smile, Barbara! Sorry it happened to you but also a bit glad I'm not the only one. 😂 Sure appreciate you following along! Happy Quilting,
Lea Louise
Your quilts are always beautiful. Love all the colors!
Fantastic I love both of them. Great job and great tutorial. Thank you so much for your time and effort. You really inspire me. I always love watching you.❤
Your kind words mean a lot to me, Debbie! Thank you for watching and supporting my channel. Happy Quilting,

That's awesome, Madeline! They are such fun and so easy to make. This will be known as my "Summer of PCB's" 😂 Sure appreciate you following along! Happy Quilting,
Lea Louise
Beautiful quilt! I will definitely try this pattern. Are you using a walking foot? Thank you. I do enjoy watching your videos.
Yes I am! I love my walking foot and always use it to quilt. Thanks so much for following along. Happy Quilting,
Lea Louise
Love potato chip blocks but haven't ever made a larger rectangle. Next on my list.
It sure makes a great rectangular quilt, Diann! These larger blocks sure make this quilt go together fast! Have fun with your. Thanks so much for watching! Happy Quilting,
Lea Louise
Love your videos. Do you have a tutorial for using the qayg with the potato chip blocks?
Nice video
Glad you enjoyed my tutorial, Jacquie! Thanks so much for watching! Happy Quilting,

🙋🏻♀️newbie here. I have a bunch of scraps and I enjoy your videos! What’s the measurement for large middle square? Ty
Welcome!! So glad to have you join us. These middle blocks are a 6.5-inch square. Or you can sew two of the 3.5x6.5 rectangles together for the same size. When you go through you scraps, look for a fun print that will look awesome in the center! Sure appreciate you following along. Happy Quilting,
Lea Louise
I am vision impaired thinking of trying 81/2 center and 3 or 41/ 2 by 8 1/2 strips. Your thought?? Reversible great idea love it you are great😊
lol. The piece you didn’t recognize was meadowmere by Moda. I’m working with it right now
Thanks so much for filling in the blanks for me!! It's a wonderful print and looks awesome with this mix of fabrics. Sure appreciate you following along! Happy Quilting,

Ia the center block 6.5 x 6.5?? thanks... Love this quilt and wanting to make.
😊 Yes. 6.5" sq for the 3x6 finished potato chips shown here. (See 7:12 on video.)
Yes, it is, Sarah! It's a great place to use a large piece of your favorite fabrics. These block are such fun to make! Thanks for watching! Happy Quilting,
Lea Louise
Appreciate your response! Thanks for watching! Happy Quilting,
Lea Louise
New to this… so the center block is one 3 1/2 inch square?
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
@@InspiredQuiltingbyLeaLouise thank you for the explanation! Going to try one 🤩
Where did the neon sign go? I miss it!
Me too! It created such a distracting light in the background I took it down. Tell you what, I'll put a Y/N question in the community tab and see who wins. Maybe it wasn't as bad as I thought! Be sure to add your vote. 😊 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?
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!! Thanks for watching! Happy Quilting,
Lea Louise
@@InspiredQuiltingbyLeaLouise Thanks for the etymology. I couldn't see a potato chip but I can see not making just one.
