Where can I find this Potato Chip Quilt? I'm curious to see what it looks like. Sounds interesting :-)

the zig zag is easy.. sew strips... cut 2 inch.. 2 1/2.. what ever you need.. the drop one down 1/2 of block to sew.. for each strip.. plan ahead for the heighth and as you drop the strips down you unsew the bottom blocks and add to the top.You drop down for a few strips.. then start back up.. I like to have the point even so at the top position and the bottom, you have two strips the same

Some people call quilts that are fun to sew "potato chip quilts" because you can't be happy doing just one.

I've heard other people call the following two patterns called "Potato chip quilts".

The first one looks like the lazy days of summer and the second one jazz things up . I like both you could do both making a duel quilt. This way you can turn it over and not have to change other item's in the room. Love Both.
