Expanded Potato Chip Block

 After  I made a Potato Chip Block (2.5" x 4.5") , I wanted to make another one.  I learned of this expended version from SewYeah Guys (6.5" x 12.5") Blocks.


 

These lovely blocks make a softly pretty Baby Quilt.  These are some of the Fabrics called 'low volume' with which I am experimenting.

Lesson in Finishing Other Peoples' Projects


I found these Blocks in a Project Bag at my Quilt Guild.  Seems someone had abandoned it.  There were 8 Blocks with errors in 2 of the Blocks.  I corrected those 2 Blocks, and made a new Block for the center position.  

I found a nice, small Brown print and used it to make Sashing between the Blocks.  Then I rumaged among my Fabric leftovers and found those strips of similarly bright colors (mostly yellows) and added them top and bottom to enlarge it a bit and make it rectangular.  The Brown Sashing Fabric is also used on the back of this Quilt.  A lovely, bright, & quickly made Quilt to donate to Charity.  Good lesson in working with Brights.
