Good day, and welcome to my blog.
I recently pulled out all sorts of scraps and cut pieces for potato chip blocks, and also cut 2 inch strips and pieces. Last week I sewed potato chip blocks, and this week it's time for the pattern I picked from the Quilted Twins website, under their free patterns section. It's called Clean Up, and you need 2 inch strips, sewn together, cross cut, sewn together randomly to make a central block of 10 by 10 squares, 15.5 inches unfinished, and 15 inches, finished.
My block is about 15 to 15.25 inches now, which tells me my seam allowance is a little wide. Normally this doesn't make a difference, but adds up over 9 seams.
You also need border units of more 1.5 inch squares, and I have started on those too. But I am concentrating on those big blocks.
Three down, many more to go!

Wow that block sure has a lot of seams! But I love how it makes the little scraps look so pretty together. Can't wait to see the final quilt. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

Oh so pretty. That is going to be a heavy quilt. Thank you for sharing in Put your foot down.
Love this scrappy... but!! with your potato chip block and this one you are leading me astray from the projects I should finish haha!!
I clicked through to see the pattern -- love the Twins' designs! -- the white and black borders will make these scrappy squares sparkle.
