[@janschubart4419]

I'm an old quilter, also just found you. I just love your voice and your tutorials are just excellent the way you explain so clearly.

[@CarolThelen]

My pleasure. Thanks for watching.

[@lynnehill4608]

Wonderful tutorial! I wish I had someone like you putting these tutorials together when I was learning. Thank you, Carol.

[@CarolThelen]

You are so welcome! It's never to late to learn! Every time I teach a class, I learn something new! Thanks for watching.

[@poohbear101]

I applaud your helping beginner quilters. Sometimes getting stuck and no one to ask, can result in them quitting altogether. Sewing is so rewarding and takes your mind off the day to day problems. I have been teaching my granddaughter to quilt and showing her things I have learned through trial and error. I love this jelly roll buster pattern. A quick fast quilt, great for beginners. 👏

[@CarolThelen]

Thanks!

[@MiMi-si5nk]

[@CarolThelen]

You are so welcome!

Hi Carol, today’s block is another easy peezy one and fantastic for those scraps we all have. Your information about the app is great, I never knew it existed. So off I go to check it out. Thanks so much for sharing all you do. 👍❤️😊

[@CarolThelen]

Have fun and thanks for watching.

[@conniewinkler4838]

Carol thanks so much for the app info!

[@CarolThelen]

My pleasure. Stay tuned for more and thanks for watching.

[@frontofficed.burnell-power6288]

Now I know why I love you so much. I am en engineer that sews. I love your direct, clear videos. You put in so much time. Thank you so much. I'm likely very close to your age. It never occurred to me there was an App. Of course there is. This is what I do in my head every time I look at a quilt LOL. It is why engineers love quilts. Thank you for nudging this engineer along systematically on this journey. I appreciate you so much.

[@CarolThelen]

There are so many quilters who are engineers. My degree is Mechanical! Thanks for watching.

[@carmenbailey1560]

I have to say I’ve never purchased a jelly roll yet, I’ve purchased two layer cakes, lots of fat quarters and yardage is my main purchase. But all good I have plenty of cutoffs that I’ll be using. Thanks Carol, for sharing, right now I have some catching up to do. 👍❤️😊

[@CarolThelen]

I really haven't purchased many jelly rolls. Most of my "jelly rolls" are strips I've cut from fabric left over from other fabrics, especially the narrow WOF pieces. Thanks for watching.

[@callierandall8522]

Brenda from Mount scrapmore shared this as a potato chip block, as they are all the same size. It makes a useful block to use up those strips and other scraps. Thank you for sharing your tutorial on how to make this. Appreciate all the blocks so far and looking forward to new ones.

[@CarolThelen]

Thank you. I've seen many of Brenda's videos and never saw this block! Thanks for letting me know and thanks for watching.

[@sandybruderer2084]

So glad I found you. 🇨🇦❤️

[@CarolThelen]

Same here! Thanks for watching.

[@TheJAG1357]

Such an awesome instructional video. Wow! Thank you for taking the time to teach us this! I truly appreciate what you do for us. Thank you ❤❤

[@CarolThelen]

My pleasure. Thanks for watching.

[@debrarevay7493]

Thank you for the block and letting us know about the app. Wish they would have had this 35 years ago. It's amazing how far technology has come.

[@CarolThelen]

Thanks for watching!

[@marlenethompson864]

Great information! Going to make that scrap quilt in the demo... I have tons of leftover jelly strips. I love squares & rectangles!

[@CarolThelen]

I agree. Love the scraps and the right angles! Thanks for watching.

[@nancisailormoy9135]

I started making these last year as a potato chip block but I don't do the final round so the blocks end up 6" finished. It is a great block and you have done a great video on this cute project.

[@CarolThelen]

I had never heard it called the Potato chip block until I released this video. It's a great block! Thanks for watching.

[@chrissyluna8183]

Omgoodness thank you for sharing this.❤

[@CarolThelen]

You are so welcome

[@jeancombstock5201]

Brilliant love this and your calculator I’m not up on tech and this helps even me and I’ve now in my 70s thank you so much love following it’s so well done

[@CarolThelen]

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching.

[@janrichardson8331]

This also as a potato chip block. The lady that does KZbin video called Mt Scrapmore started this a while back. It is a great way to use scraps. 🦋

[@CarolThelen]

Yes, apparently, I'm the only one who didn't know that! Love Brenda's videos. Thanks for watching.

[@shadowmom]

Fantastic tutorial and brilliant information. Love this block x

[@CarolThelen]

Thanks so much 😊

[@hillarymacabare1820]

I love this pattern. I made this for my bedroom but used coordinated not scrappy strips Thank you for sharing all these blocks

[@CarolThelen]

I think that would look lovely! Thanks for watching.

[@rebeccaaguilar9550]

Thank You So Much!

[@CarolThelen]

You're welcome!

[@sharonlyman3029]

Ah! Potato Chip block. Love 'em.

[@CarolThelen]

I just found the picture of this block recently on Pinterest. No information on it but now I know. Love the name. Thanks for watching.

[@manuelashannon1369]

I like this more lengthy contact. I’d like a quilt as you go (QAYG) one. That’s on my list to try.

[@CarolThelen]

Since I have had a longarm machine for decades, I have not tried QAYG but I like the concept. This would be a perfect block for that. Thanks for watching.

[@marlenemichel3640]

Thanks so much for showing how to use the quilting app. I will be anxious to see further videos on this app. Thanks again.

[@CarolThelen]

Glad you like them. I wanted to give little bits of information at a time so no one's head explodes! Stay tuned and thanks for watching.

[@shellyculver4239]

Thank you!

[@CarolThelen]

You're welcome!

[@traceyhonig4461]

Carol!! Have you been in my sewing room lately?! 😂😂 I was just going through my boxes last night thinking about a good “throw everything in but the kitchen sink “ type project. This is perfect!! And God Bless You for explaining the math going into figuring out these blocks. I left you playing when I went outside for a second, but when I came back you were explaining that. Was it an app? Thank you for inspiring me everyday to try and clean out these boxes! Happy quilting! 🧵

[@CarolThelen]

How do we end up with so many scraps!!?? They multiply overnight. The app is on my blog. Check it out here - quilt-notes.blogspot.com/p/quilt-calculators.html I will be releasing about 2 videos each week with more information about what you can do with them. Thanks for watching.

[@Amal2365]

Thank you so much for sharing this information 😊

[@CarolThelen]

My pleasure. Thanks for watching.

[@suzyroy3360]

you are wonderfull thanks soo much!

[@CarolThelen]

My pleasure. Thanks for watching.

[@pamelamiller3215]

Thanks Carol i know this block as potato chip. Conquering mount scrapmore with Brenda has called it that there is also severyeasy with Laura called it a scrap buster. I do enjoy making it i just use my left over scraps which is cut into this size there could be more names for this block these are the names that i know them as.

[@CarolThelen]

Thanks for letting me know that. I had heard of the potato chip block but never saw a picture of one. The picture I found was just the block with no information. I love Brenda's videos and especially that roll of scraps she cuts from to make things with. Thanks for watching.

[@pamelamiller3215]

@@CarolThelen Thats ok they make lovely charity quilts i also enjoy Brendas videos

[@jimmieknighten7960]

This is great thank you for the app

[@CarolThelen]

My pleasure. Thanks for watching.

[@maureentaphouse5206]

I'm really enjoying this series. As for the app I do the maths myself every time for my charity quilts which I aim to make 45" x 70" or thereabouts. Apps are new to me so that should be interesting. Accuquilt also helps. The aspect I struggle with despite my background is laying the pieces on the die so that I get accurate cuts. Some I gave cut wrong as they aren't as big as they should be. This aspect of using dies is always rushed on the Accuquilt die but essential for us beginners to learn to get good results. Any help would be appreciated.

[@CarolThelen]

I starch the heck out of the fabric before cutting it on the AccuQuilt. Sometimes when I get lazy and don't do it, it is always harder to piece them. I use liquid starch, Sta Flo, and dilute it about 50-50. Be sure to shake it each time. Hope this helps and thanks so much for watching.

[@victoriapaetow4376]

Great info. Thanks;)
