We've seen the pattern for free at a few of the LQS. They call it Potato Chip because noone can make just one. It is super fast to put together and only requires 2 complementary fabrics for the top.

Love it! Especially love the fabrics!! :thumbup:

As far as the wavy borders are concerned make sure the quilt has been squared up, and I always baste the edges before putting on the binding. That keeps the edges from stretching. I also pin the binding in place to keep from stretching it, too. Hope these bits of advice might help. I'm sure there are many others on the board who can give you expert advice, and since I consider myself a novice, I'm not sure if what I said to do will help. It seems to work for me so I just thought I would pass it along to you. :wink: From the pics, I don't see any waves, but that is probably because it is laying flat. 8-)

The only advice I have been given over and over for the wavy borders is to measure the length and width of the quilt through the Center of the Quilt before cutting the border pieces. Told to me from both quilters and some pattern instructions I have read lately. I hope it helps.

You make a total of 24 blocks that are 12.5 x 12.5. From each of your 2 fabrics (A and B) cut the following:

12 squares @ 8.5 x 8.5
24 strips @ 8.5 x 2.5
24 strips @ 12.5 x 2.5

Frame the Fabric A squares with Fabric B strips, and the Fabric B squares with Fabric A strips. Sew your blocks into rows, alternating A blocks and B blocks. This one doesn't really need a border since the blocks are bordered, but you can put one if you want to.
