If you love a project that uses up the pretty leftover pieces in your stash, this potato chip quilt block from Sew the Distance is a real treat. It is part of her Christmas quilting in July series, a lovely way to get a head start on handmade gifts, and the block itself is quick, forgiving, and quietly addictive to make.
Here is why this one is worth watching:
- It is a joyful home for your smallest treasures. Each block only needs little pieces of fabric, so those bits you have been saving from past projects finally get their moment to shine.
- It is wonderfully beginner friendly. The block comes together with simple stitch and flip sewing, so there are no tricky points to match and it is very relaxing to sew.
- It is perfect for getting ahead on gifts. Making a few blocks now means your holiday quilt is quietly growing while the weather is still warm, and December feels a little calmer for it.
