I suggested a Potato Chip fabric strip swap in one of my Facebook Groups, alot of them had not heard or seen one, but OMG over 100 people signed up to do swaps and they are hooked.
PCBs are such fun to make and hard for quilters to resist, Lawayne! That's awesome that you've introduced so many folks to this wonderful block. Thanks so much for following along. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Omgosh I just love you!!! In a perfect world no cooking cleaning washing etc just quilting Thank you once again for spending time teaching and creating new ideas ❤❤❤
Oh Girl, you need this one bad!! 🤣🤣🤣 Luckily it's very easy and incredibly forgiving, Annette. Good luck with all those scraps! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
I think the “hot pad” you made is a great idea for placemats. Love all the fun things we can make with the potato chip block! Thanks for sharing all your ideas. Your enthusiasm is infectious! ❤️
Absolutely great for placemats! Then use some smaller rectangles and make matching mug rugs. OMG, there's another video I need to make. 🤣 Thanks for following along! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Yay, thank you, Lesley! That's what I love about retirement - more time to do my thing!! It seems I'm always thinking about quilts. 😊 Sure appreciate you following along! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Definitely love my new HST PCB! There will surely be more to follow as I'm already thinking towards the holidays. Be sure to to give these blocks a try. They are quite fun and a great way to us up scraps. Great to have you following along! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Glad you like it, Andrea! This is such a fun pattern to use and I'm excited to try some other ideas. Thanks so much for following along! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Me, too, Phyllis! The ideas start spinning and my little handwritten notes are scattered every where! Then there's the fabric...I have an 8' sewing table that's piled high!! I'll be on a scrappy quilt kick for some months to come. That's okay though, scrappy is my favorite! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Thanks to Brenda from Conquering Mount Scapmore, where I first saw this potato chip thing, I have been saving up 2.5 by 4.5 rectangles. I am going to make Brenda's Version #2 blocks.
So amazing how many ideas we can come up with for those little bits of scrap fabric, Kelley! This is a perfect scrappy quilt that all quilters can have fun with. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Thanks, Bobbie! Blues and Greens are my favorite and remind me of the ocean colors. But then I certainly don't discriminate against any colors! I use them all. 😂 Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
That sounds like fun, Debee! Does everyone make the same size blocks and switch it up? What fun that would be. Sure appreciate you following along! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
It certainly is! It's a Courthouse Steps Log Cabin made with pieced 'logs' instead of long strips! What an innovation!! Thanks so much for watching. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
So fun, gosh you did a lovely job, doing the Block & explaining it. Thanks so much!!! I just learned this Block a week ago & I can't stop (the 1st PCB here). I made 12 Blocks & am now auditioning Borders, thanks again!!
It certainly is one of the best scrap busters I've ever made, Brenda! Not to mention how easy and fun they are to make. Thanks so much for watching! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Hot potato hot potato. I laughed out loud 😂😂. On my goodness how will I ever be able to make all these items. I’m nearly 85 and you know the old saying; “the ole gray mare ain’t what she used to be.” I’m making a North Star log cabin now. Leah, I’ll think of you when I next have chips or a baked potato ❤
Oh, Betty, I'm glad you enjoyed my silliness! You're right about eating chips and baked potatoes - it just won't be the same. 😊 But what fun it is to have a laugh with it all! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Welcome to the party, Kim. Now it's your turn to give it a try! They are fun to make and quite easy to sew. Glad to have you following along! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
I first saw it named in a quilting book as 'Scrappy Rectangles' which is exactly what it is. That quilt was made with the smaller square. The larger blocks are my favorites, but they all look awesome! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Me too! It was all just to much for my mouth and mind to get out correctly. 🤣 Great that we can all laugh about it! Thanks for watching. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Just bought the pattern for that beautiful blues and white pinwheel block❤❤❤❤ got finish making 2made charity quilts and then going give my Self I beautiful quilt 😂 love love love it ,Lea you really pump me up lol thank you again🙏
Thank you so much, Neva! This is a fun pattern and it'll be wonderful to see the different color variations everyone comes up with. Thanks so much and have fun with all the quilting you're working on! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
You're welcome, Bobbie! It really helps me a lot. Plus if the s.a. is going the wrong direction, I know I've probably mixed something up! Thanks for watching. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Oh my ... This technique is so happy! Just makes me smile!!! 😊 Not sure but I'll blame it on being in hospital for an extended time, that I've missed the 'how to' so I'm on a mission! Thank you Ms. LL! ❤️
So glad you're recovering and ready to take on some quilting for it's therapeutic qualities, Manda! Handwork and How-to projects are so calming and comforting to do. You'll feel great just getting some fabric cut! Have fun with your quilt. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Good Tuesday morning to all! I love the potatoes chip quilt. Lea I love how you use your fabric and how it all comes together. I really I bigger block in the center. Love all your teachings thank you for your inspiration🙏🙏
Glad you enjoyed this tutorial, Linda! I can't wait to dig into my red and green batiks for Christmas. I'm working on a PCB just for that. It should be fun!! Thanks for watching. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Lea Louise, you have me ADDICTED to Potato Chip blocks! I have 2 at the longarm quilters now and I can't wait to see how you made the new pattern. I love the diamond quilting you've done. As always TY for the inspiration❣️ I love the higher contrast in the pinwheel potato chip block.
Yes, I agree re the contrast, Marsha! It definitely makes a bold statement and these colors really turned out great. Sure appreciate you following along! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
It sure has some potential, Sheila! There will be more coming. That quilt grid in the pattern is great to doodle on and see what designs develop! Thanks for following along. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Hi Lea I've been so busy cutting strips for potato chip blocks. . I'm really anxious to start sewing them together. I'm I. Delaware and my friend Diane is in arizona. She's making one also. Thanks for showing us how to make these. Have a great day.
You and Diane have fun with your quilts, Debbie! Do you both know that QuiltCon will be in PHX this coming Feb? I'm planning on visiting and looking forward to seeing lots of great quilts. It'd be great to see lots of PCB quilts on display!! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
I have been trying to draw this on graph paper. How you ever figured this out is beyond me. Thank you for this video. I'm wondering if your big one block quilt could be turned into a quilt-as-you-go project (where you end up with a quilt on each side. If it were kept to a small size it might be possible.
That would be a fun idea to try, Arvetta! QAYG isn't something I've done a lot of but it could certainly work. It'd just be a matter of sewing in rounds and would sure be a quick finish! Thanks so much for watching. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
That is so awesome, Diann! What a fantastic way to thank our soldiers for their service. You and your friend are bringing smiles to so many! God bless your for your kindness. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Cada rectángulo mide 2.5 pulgadas por 4.5 pulgadas. El bloque será de 12.5 pulgadas y terminará en la colcha como un bloque de 12 pulgadas. ¡Diviértete haciendo el tuyo! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
You've got it, Janet! The PCB is actually a Courthouse Steps Log Cabin made with joined rectangles instead of longer strips. It's had many names over the years but one of the newer ones is Fractured Courthouse Steps. They're all fun, but Potato Chip Block...because you can't make just one, is perfect! Thanks so much for watching. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
This was made with 2.5 x 4.5-inch rectangles, Sandra. They finish at 2x4-inches. There are quite a few different videos I've done using this method in larger squares. You can use any size as long as the length is twice as long as the width before you add the seam allowance. You can really do a lot with this block. I hope you get to give it a try! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Yes, that's what happens when I try to talk when I'm tired after hours of quilting, Neva! But it was a good laugh. Maybe I need to come up with the Hot Potato Block?! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
You know mine are Fully Loaded!! 😋😂 Now I want to buy a few jumbo Idaho potatoes and get them cooked up. We've got to laugh at ourselves sometimes and this really tickled me. Thanks so much for following along! Happy Quilting, Lea Louise

Great question, Sandra! This pattern goes way back and has been used for years under various names. I first saw it published as 'Scrappy Rectangles' and loved it. If you'll notice, it's actually a variation of the Courthouse Steps Log Cabin Block. The difference is that short strips are sewn together to create the longer pieces. The new Potato Chip Block name was given a couple years a go by Brenda of Mount Scrapmore. The idea being that 'You can't make just one'. That was a huge advertising tag line years ago so lots of people recognize it and the name stuck. It's a fun and easy block and incredibly versatile especially with how you place your colors. That's the story and it's been incredibly popular. I know I love making it! Thanks for following along. Happy Quilting, Lea Louise
Lea, I’m very curious, is there any particular reason you have never responded to my emails? I was at least hoping for a reason why you ignored my questions. Well, thanks anyway.
@@genawalter401 I got an initial one saying I won the fabric kit, but someone else claimed it and apparently she didn’t check the email address. Even sent me a second one, but using the other person’s name. I told her that wasn’t me be have not received a response ever since.
Please send me an email LeaLouise@inspiredquiltingbylealouise. If possible please forward a message using one of the previous emails you sent me as I can't find the emails you're talking about. I'm not sure what's happening but want to get it figured out. Thanks!

Lea Louise

Is it the size of the fabric before stitching?
This was made with 2.5 x 4.5-inch rectangles, Sandra. They finish at 2x4-inches. There are quite a few different videos I've done using this method in larger squares.
