It amazes me how these potato chip blocks can all look so different. They all are made with the same sizes the same pattern and yet they all look different. I love this. Brenda really came up with something sending you love hugs and prayers and hoping that your appointment went well, I realize it was a year ago, but still, we don’t always heal overnight, OK catch you next time ❤️🙏❤️

Thanks Janet. Going in for a hernia repair on December 28. Hoping recovery doesn't take too long. You can get a ton of help with your machine on KZbin. Search on the brand & model and the problem. I found several series on the Featherweights and on the 301. I'm finding that the vintage machines are so much easier to use and maintain. I love you too! God bless.

Welcome, Karin!! Merry Christmas to you as well. I've seen them with sashing and if the blocks are real scrappy, I think the sashing breaks up the scrappy field of fun.

Yes, Cathy, the size of the pieces are 2.5 x 4.5. If you like to work tiny, there are smaller sizes you can use also. I just learned that 1.5 x 2.5 also works and the created of the block makes them 2.5 x 3.5 and those work too. I draw it out to see if the sizes work cause I don't math!

@@70acres ah, yes, I do remember, and you’re right, crumb blocks are addicting!!!

Is that a Treàdle machine

[@70acres]

Thanks for watching, Tina. The Singer Featherweight and Singer 301 are electric machines. They are amazing workhorses and if you keep the lint out and oil them regularly, they will last forever. I have a new to me 1950's White Rotary machine in turquoise that will be delivered the end of the month by a subscriber. She's driving 16 hours to get here and we're going to spend a few days enjoying our visit. I can't wait to show off this new machine!

WHAT IS A POTATO CHIP BLOCK

[@70acres]

I have a playlist with all my potato chip projects. It is a quilt block designed by my buddy Brenda, from www.youtube.com/@ConqueringMountScrapmoreWithBrenda . The name comes from the Lays potato chip commerical; "I bet you can't eat just one!" Meaning they are so addictive you want to eat/make more and more. These quilts work up incredibly fast and are perfect for chain piecing.

Nowhere to subscribe

[@70acres]

There is a Subscribe button under the video on your computer. There is a subscribe button below the video on your phone as well. If you are watching on a TV you pause the video and arrow up to see the options (back, forward, play, etc) and I believe you would then arrow right to get to the options on the right corner and there you can arrow on to each one to see which one is the subscribe button.
