Potato Chip Quilts - see photos below
Choose the Download button below for printing the pattern.
Use 32 pieces (2"x3.5") or 18 pieces (2.5"x4.5") to make blocks that finish at 6.5", 9.5" or 12.5". By rotating alternating blocks you avoid having seams meet as the blocks are put together. (See the photos below.) You will need 35-40 blocks to make a "nice sized" quilt.
The following pattern, shared at the April 2021 meeting, makes a very quick charity quilt. The file to download the quilt pattern is below the pattern.
