My favorite tool for clipping threads when chain piecing:
Bladesaver Cutter amzn.to/3ZvN7Q2
Cut your scraps into pieces quickly using Accuquilt! I cut my rectangles with the Accuquilt 8" Qube but you could also use the 2-1/2" x 4-1/2" Rectangle Die or other sized rectangle dies as long as the rectangle finishes twice as wide as it is tall (2x4, 3x6, 1-1/2x3). If you like playing around with geometry and putting together your own block designs, the Qubes are an awesome investment. You could play with them forever!

[@mike1968442]

I’m so glad you showed this system. I wouldn’t never use it because my favorite part of sewing is the cutting and done part. Tfs!

Thank you so much for showing how to do the potato chip block on the Accuquilt. This is a game changer. 😊

[@arvettadelashmit9337]

Brenda did tell us about snowballing some of the corners; but, you made it happen. Your quilt is going to be beautiful.

[@CopycatQuilter]

Thank you! I like how the corners gave the look of some curves! Hope you come back!

You can also do a strip piece for the center and save even more time.

[@CopycatQuilter]

True… I was actually thinking of going the slow route and putting a pinwheel in there maybe. Thanks for watching!

[@SoPatch33]

Love the bright colors and how you show to use the strip die in a different way.

Thanks! I’m glad you got some new ideas! Thanks for watching!

I just finished another potato chip quilt and said no more for now. Now that I’ve seen a shortcut, I LOVE IT! Like they say…Never say never.

[@CopycatQuilter]

That's how they got their names... you can't do just one! :)

[@BrendaH289]

I love this method but I sure love scrappy ❤ yes I’m binge watching today, trying to catch up on things I’m wanting to save

[@CopycatQuilter]

I like scrappy too but kind of consider fat quarters scraps I guess. The blue potato chip quilt was literal scraps cut down to rectangles. Thanks for watching and subscribing! I really hope you enjoy the channel.

[@judithp6257]

The sashing really framed the blocks beautifully!

[@CopycatQuilter]

Thanks! I don’t do sashing a lot and now I’m wondering why not! Thanks for watching! I hope you hang around!

@@CopycatQuilter I will! 🥰

[@dianewilliams5271]

I love the bright colors with the black.

[@CopycatQuilter]

Thanks! I don’t use black a lot in my quilts but I’m reconsidering that. In fact, just picked up an order from Joann of a bolt of black Kona cotton because they had a great sale if you bought a bolt (8 yards). Thanks for watching! Every viewer and view is appreciated! And subscribers especially! 🤣💚🤣

[@peterivkovich2314]

from Gerry- I've made the original potato chip quilt. I now have one going with a neutral batik square in the center. Your quilt is stunning. Thanks for sharing. Be blessed.

[@CopycatQuilter]

Thank you so much! It’s really a fun block to play with! Thanks for watching!

[@patriciaguevara8793]

This is so awesome! I never thought of making the “chips” this way!

Thanks for this video. I have the 2.5” strip Accuquilt die!

[@CopycatQuilter]

I love Accuquilt and won’t make a quilt if I can’t convert the patterns to dies! 😄 Thanks for watching and commenting and spending time watching. I appreciate that!

[@millennialscribbles]

S P I C Y 🔥

[@sharontuch3405]

Very pretty, Black as background or sashing or middle!!? Always makes a quilt look more rich. IMO Wish I had an accuquilt !!

[@CopycatQuilter]

Thanks for watching! Yes, the black really lights up the bright colors. AccuQuilt is awesome… I didn’t think I’d like it because I thought you could only make their patterns. But I haven’t made one of theirs yet! I just use the shapes to put together all kinds of blocks. Now I don’t make a quilt without it! Please stick around 💚😎💚

[@conniegreen4337]

Your ideas for strip piecing the blocks is great! I've seen a lot of different versions of potato chip quilts. Just what makes a quilt a potato chip quilt?

[@CopycatQuilter]

I am all about the fast and easy! Lol Brenda called them that… I think it’s just because of the old commercials “betcha can’t make just one!” Lol. You can check out her channel at Conquering Mount Scrapmore if you don’t know about her already. She does tons of free patterns and gave me permission to use the block in my videos. Thanks for watching… I hope you subscribe and hang around!

[@KelleysQuiltsandCruises]

I love your version Ginger!

[@CopycatQuilter]

Thank you! I love these blocks and easy it is to make them look entirely different! Thanks for watching!

[@harryburkett7754]

My next potato chip quilt will be patriotic with the 4.5" red square, surrounded by a layer of white, and then a layer of blue. I want sashing but not sure if it should be black, gray, or white.

[@CopycatQuilter]

That sounds beautiful! I think the gray option could be nice because the white would mix with the rest of the white (if that makes sense, lol). A light gray would probably set off the navy nicely! Thanks for watching! Please subscribe if you haven’t or thank you if have already!

[@sandramagill3877]

The problem with not trimming the snowball triangles is, if the quilt gets a lot of use, the fabric on top may wear/rub off. Had it happen.

[@CopycatQuilter]

Thanks for the info Sandra - I haven’t had that experience. I appreciate you sharing your experiences. Thanks for watching! 💚

[@janetbullard1105]

Im not sure if I missed if said how much material you needed for this quilt.

[@CopycatQuilter]

You didn’t miss them… I don’t plan my quilts in advance so I don’t know how much fabric I’ll need in advance. But I think on this one I used a fat quarter of each color and then some strips of black… probably close to a yard of the black. Sorry I can’t help more with that… I have enough fabric to last forever so I don’t worry too often about running out. Thanks for watching! I hope you try the pattern!

[@barbaraford1780]

I can’t download the pattern

[@CopycatQuilter]

Thanks for watching Barbara. There isn’t a written pattern. The pieces are 2-1/2” by 4-1/2” and you arrange them the way the video shows. If you need more instruction you might try Conquering Mount Scrapmore with Brenda videos… I think she has several. 😎

[@megfreeth4377]

I love the quilt so pretty but don’t understand why it is called a potato chip quilt (called crisps in Britain).

[@CopycatQuilter]

I think it’s a combination of the blocks being regular in shape and then the fact you can’t just make one. It’s a pop culture reference to an old potato chip commercial that said “you can’t eat just one.” I’m not sure but I AM sure appreciative you watched! Please subscribe if you haven’t! 💚

[@wam0357]

don't cut your first strips 4 inches! they are 4 and 1/2!! She calls them 4 inch I guess because its the finished size, but, boy it made it confusing. Yes, she does correct it in very light print, at about the same time, but a lot of us LISTEN to the instructions. You could do a voice over in this 10 seconds of your video. Fair warning to other beginners.

[@CopycatQuilter]

Thanks for letting me know. I hope it doesn’t mess people up and I’ll see what I can do

[@peggyrogers6992]
