Scrap Busters 101 (10:30am-2:30pm)($25)

Scrap Buster 101 – Perfect Potato Chip

No need to print a pattern for this one. Pattern for block will be given in class. Block is designed by Lea Louise of Inspired Quilting. Google “Perfect Potato Chip Blocks” and look for “Inspired Quilting by Lea Louise” You Tube.  Viewing of video is optional. Block is very simple, yet clever.

Note: Lea uses demos various sizes, but we will be using 2 ½” x 4 ½” pieces.  One component block size will be 8 ½” unfinished (8” finished). You’ll need (4) components for one complete block (16 ½” unfinished; 16” finished).

Cut requirements per 1 component block:

Color:  (4) 2 ½” x 4 ½” rectangles for 1 component block 

Neutral:  (4) 2 ½” x 4 ½” rectangles for 1 component block

Prior to class, pre-cut (16) 2 ½” x 4 ½” rectangles of each of color and neutral to make at least 4 component blocks. Scrappy neutral works better for these blocks. Dig out all of those leftover 2 ½” strips. Go WILD!!! Also would look great in just 2 or 3 colors or monochromatic.

Model is 6 x 8 component blocks = 48 component blocks = 48” x 64” without border. Neutral border cut 3 1/2” and finishes at 3”. Used scrappy binding.
