If your scrap bin is starting to feel like its own little quilt shop, this is the video for you. Debee from Scrappy Quilts With Debee walks us through her "Plaid 2 Potato Chip" block, a playful scrappy design that mimics the look of a classic plaid using strips and squares pulled straight from your stash. It is the kind of project that makes those odd leftover bits feel like little treasures all over again.
Here is why this one is worth watching:
- A plaid look without all the careful matching. Debee shows how to layer simple strips and squares to give the block that woven plaid feel, so you get a graphic, modern result without fussing over precise colour repeats.
- A true scrap-friendly approach. The block is built for the bits you already have on hand, so it is a wonderful way to use up those favourite leftover prints that are too pretty to throw away.
- Easy enough for a relaxed sewing afternoon. The piecing is gentle and forgiving, which makes it a lovely block to chain piece while you settle in for a quiet stitching session.
Would you reach for warm, cosy plaids or bright happy scraps for your version of this block? Tell us in the comments which corner of your stash is calling out to be turned into a Plaid 2 Potato Chip.
