I have been following "Brenda at Conquering Mount Scrapmore" for about a year now and have made more than one Potato Chip quilt. Her videos are lighthearted and the common everyday mistakes are left in so we can see how she corrects her oopses. I usually check on on Friday mornings for her "Free Block Friday" presentation.
The potato chip block is just as easy as the presenter in the link indicates. If you like to play with your scraps this is a nice way to mindlessly put them use or lay them out in lights/darks in a log cabin style. Scrappy of course! And an easy to make donation quilt. Great leader/ender project and a good way to diminish the scrap bin.
