The only way I can avoid buying more fabric is by staying out of places that sell fabric. Brenda sent me. I just subscribed. I love the Potato Chip blocks(quilts). Thank you for showing me another wonderful idea and quilt.
Oh gosh, you made my day!!! Thank you so much for subscribing!!!
Oh, this ticks all the boxes for me. I love a scrappy project but I also love symmetry. Thank you for showing this variation. ❤
Wonderful!!! I'm so glad you like it! We just put the pattern for it on our website, AmericanaLongarmQuilting, if you are interested! Thank you so much for commenting, it really helps us out!!!
Sarge is a handsome assistant! I love this, and the quilt is beautiful! Thank you!
Hi Amanda, Thank you so much for your comment!! He is awesome, however, he knows how to open the door but not how to close it!!! I'm always having to get up and close the door! He is worth it!!!
@AmericanaQuilting lol, I have a Border Collie, named Maggie, that does the same thing!
I’ve never watched you So glad you came up on utube You are so fun!!!! Just barely watching and already love you and your channel
OMG!!! That is so kind of you to say!!! We will be uploading a new video next friday so stay tuned!!!
same.....I am subscribing.
I'm already a fan of Brenda's potato chip block, and it's an ongoing thing with me. As I finish a project, I cut more pieces and the tub is getting pretty full - almost time to start sewing. I never thought of doing this quilt your way, but I love it and I might just give this a try.
Hi Beth, High praise indeed!!! Remember to tag us in any of your social media posts so we can see your version!!
Thanks for the shout out! I hope you have a great week ahead!
I absolutely love your channel, you are so much fun to watch!!! The potato chip block is so much fun to make, that you for sharing it!!! This will not be my last Potato chip block for sure!!! Have a wonderful week yourself!!! Micheline
I just went to Brooklyn fabric to buy the mystery fq bundle, and NOW the bundle of 20 s $45.99! I hate it when companies get word-of-mouth from content creators and jack up their prices. You send tons of business their way, so they double the price. Not a good look for them.
Also the 100 charm squares are $9.
Hi this is Lisa from Brooklyn Fabric Company. Her prices are from when we had them on sale. We have them on sale during our Scraptastic Sale a few times a year. What you are seeing is our normal everyday price.
Hi Lisa, So sorry for any confusion I may have caused!! I am making a short video to address the fact that no one can see my drawing and will cover that I purchased the 100 charm squares on sale. Great everyday price by the way!!!
@@brooklynfabriccompany4394Hi Lisa, I’m glad you commented. I made a purchase from your shop anyway, because I do believe the price is worth giving a try. In all fairness, yours was the 3rd company I went to after an influencer made a purchase at a great price, and the prices were immediately raised. I suppose supply and demand warranted a price raise. Disappointing, but I suppose from a seller point of view a good business decision. Had I known it was a sale, I would’ve been less shocked to find the drastic price change.
I’m not blaming the influencer as she was giving a great tutorial and most likely the omission about a sale was just a simple slip of the mind.
I’m excited to check out your fabrics, and will happy to shop with you again if your fabrics are as nice as Americana Quilting says they are. 🌸🌼
This is a great idea! I’m making charity quilts for kids and have 2 1/2” strips to use!
Thank you for sharing. I went to your website to purchase the pattern and support you. You have great free patterns on your site. Thank you for being so generous and taking the time to share your talents with us.
Oh gosh, thank you so much for saying all that!!! You have made my day. The patterns will not always be free because some of them are so intricate to write and I have to pay for my fabric addiction, but a lot will be free!!!!
Jelly roll friendly too. Thank you for your scrappy, cute quilt design and the plan to chain piece the cutie together.
Thank you for commenting, it really helps our channel! Chain piecing is the best, thank you Elenore Burns for coming up with it!!!!
I just finished a one block court house step. Used a 20 piece jelly roll . 34.5 " sq. Some pieces left. Purple and green.
In the beginning you say 1 cut. First time you say 2 1/2 by 4 1/2", 2nd t me you say 2 1/2" x 5 1/2. Looks like you cut 2 1/2 x 5". I'm confused.
Lovely quilt! Thanks for showing how easy it is! Love your hints!
What a sweet comment, thank you very much!!!
I don’t even know how to quilt but here I am watching and learning! Thank you so much! I am going to teach myself how to do this one day lol,
Be careful you will get hooked in no time at all!!!! This is a great one to start on because there are no seams to match, just watch those 1/4" seam allowances!!!
Unique take on Brenda’s PCB. Love it. You have a wonderful sewing space. Drool! Hiya, Sarge - handsome assistant. 😊
Thank you so much!!! I am truely blessed to have such a wonderful workroom!!! I plan on making a video of my space very soon!!! I will give Sarge a scratch for you, he is the best!!!! Love all my four legged helpers!!!
Oh my goodness! I love your quilt. It is beautiful. I would love to make one like that for my bed. Thank you for video.❤
You are so welcome! Thank you for your wonderful comment!!!
That quilt is SO PRETTY 😍
Thanks love bug!!!
Love this. I made a potato chip block quilt abt a year ago and still have some of the left over pieces that I use from time to time but might just pull them out now and cut some more and start one of these now. Thank you for the warning about keeping everything straight and I could see that it might really show up if they got wavy.
Oh gosh, thank you so much for your comment!!! I would love to see your finished product!!! If you use social media please tag us in you posts of your project!!!!
Your quilt is just lovely! I like it much better than just the blocks. Just amazing. Thank you so much for the tutorial.

So kind of you to say, thank you very much!!!
This turned out amazing. Thank you for showing us how to make this big block, I just love it. So fun!! I have been saving my scraps that are this size, not knowing what I was going to do with them, but now I know. Don't have near enough yet but will keep adding until I do. Thanks again! Have a wonderful weekend!
Hi Diana, thank you so much for your sweet comments!!! I made a potato chip block quilt with just a few rounds then sashed them and made a nice big snuggly quilt with it. That didn't take too many scraps at all!!! Be careful, potato chips are addictive!!!
Very clever. Love this block and technique. Your fabrics are so much fun. Thank you for sharing. ❤😊
You are so very welcome! Give Brenda's potato chip block a try, you will be addicted!!!!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this idea. I will be making this! So glad I happened upon your page. It would also be an adorable baby quilt, with smaller rectangles. I'm a follower of Brenda's as well.
Hi Joy, absolutely! And i have often thought of doing the block with smaller rectangles!!! Brenda is just the best!!!
I am so thrilled to have discovered your TH-cam channel . I am looking forward to watching, learning and making the quilts. I am also a "dog lady", although mine weighs 12lbs. Thank you for having such a pleasant way of showing how to do the quilts. Ready to get started!
Wow Anne, those are kind words indeed!!! I will try to live up to your expectations!!! I am so excited to have started down this journey and its comments like yours that keep me excited about it!!! Thanks again!!!
I really love how pretty this turned out ! I need to get to cutting my rectangles to try this myself. Thanks so much for sharing.
Hi Connie, you will be addicted!!! Truely like a potato chip, you cant do just one!!!!
oh love the quilt in the background. Beautiful.
Hi Jackie, the pattern for that quilt is Lavender Fields by Christine Quilts. It was really fun to make! Thank you so much for your comment!!!
@@AmericanaQuilting Oh Thank you. I am excited to make this one.
What a fabulous quilt. I do quite a few quilts for babies and this would be perfect.
Hi Jean, this would be a fantastic baby quilt!!! Tag us if you post your quilt on social media so we can see it!!!
I really enjoyed your video, thank you for showing how easy it is with chain piecing. I can't wait to make a potato chip quilt.
Go for it Ann, they are so much fun!!!
Great job. Your quilt is lovely.
Thank you Geraldine, that makes my day!!!
I love the look of your block/quilt! I have several jelly rolls that I think I will try this with! Thanks for sharing!❤
Hi Laura, jelly rolls are perfect for this block, your cutting is half done already!!! Be careful, potato chips are addictive!!!!
I love your plan for chain piecing this pattern. The Potato Chip Blocks have so many great color layouts! Thanks for showing us your process.
Thank you for the kind words, very much appreciated!!! Potato chip blocks are just a wonder that keeps on giving!!! Thank you Brenda from Conquering Mount Scrapmore!!!!
Looks great! I love the dog too!❤️
Thank you Cathy, hope everyone enjoys my sidekicks!!!

I like this version. With all the different styles of prints and colors it looks more cohesive . I’m in the process of making my own quilt. I love not having to put much thought into it to make it look good.
Thank. you Judy! I would love to see your quilt, please tag us if you share it on social media!!!
Your quilt top turned out beautiful. I've been a subscriber to Brenda's channel for a while now. She's so fun. Thanks. I'll keep this in mind. I have MANY jelly roll scraps.
Hi Katie, thank you for the comment, they are much appreciated!!! Jelly rolls are the perfect things to use for the block!! don't forget to tag us if you share!!!!
Looks very nice!
Thank you so much for your sweet comment Nancy! Comments really help our channel grow!!
Love the chain piece idea. I’ve done three potato chip patterns and will make the round the world pattern as number 4. Thank you for idea. Marge
Oh Marge, that just makes my day!!! Please tag us if you share on social media, we would love to see your version!!!!
I’m in LOVE with this quilt!! I’m going to watch it over again to try and figure out how you did some of it as a beginner still learning but, think I grab get it!! Thanks for this beautiful pattern!!❤
Thank you so much Angie!! I have had a couple of people ask for the pattern so give it about a week and I will write it up and get it put on our website, AmericanaLongarmQuilting!!!!
@@AmericanaQuilting thank you I’ve been trying to watch the video and draw it out on graph paper I really appreciate that your sharing it!! Also I use to live by Brooklyn Fabrics and last year I made a bargello the helped match fabric there! Tomorrow a friend and I are going to try and go there if they are open!! Many good bargains!
Thanks for showing a different version of *potato chips* 🤩
Hi Lesley, You are so very welcome! Thank you for your comment, it really helps keep our videos reaching more people!!!
@@AmericanaQuilting All the way across the pond - Greetings from England 😁
I love this. Definitely, going to give it a try. ❤😊
Hi Nancy, be careful, like potato chips, these are addictive!!! you may make so many you will run out of scraps and have to go buy more!!!!!
@@AmericanaQuilting So true. I've started Brenda's #3 potato chip quilt. It's in darker Fall colors. I want to make yours in bright, cherry colors. That will probably be my next one. We have a lot of fun and laughs on Brenda's Zoom. Sometimes, I get there late in the day and don't get to talk with everyone. If you haven't yet, think about joining us. You can sign on and sign off to whatever fits your schedule. 🙂
Great quilt mom!
Love my sweet daughter, I couldn't do this without you love!!!
Very pretty quilt top.
Thank you! 😊
Love the pattern I’m working on 2 inch f them now, I have got to clear out some scraps! Thanks for sharing!
Hi Jeanette, terrific scrap buster!!! Thank you so much for the comment!! Tag us on social media if you post your work, we would love to see you quilt!!!
Will do …. I’ll post on Pinterest when I finish them
Great quilt!
Thank you so much!! I subscribed to your channel!!!
Wow, when you started the quilt I wasn’t sure it would turn out. But buy the end it looked fabulous 😊thank you for sharing. From Sydney Australia xx
I didn't know how it would turn out until I was about half way done myself!!! Can you imagine it in just two color ways!!! I might have to do that!! I just love seeing where everyone is watching from!!! Hello and a big thank you to you in Sydney Australia!!!
Thanks. I've signed up with them. Thanks again.
Hi Janice, you will love them!!!! Have a great day!!!
Brooklyn is great! Enjoyed your video. Subscribed. PS Brenda is a good friend and absolutely delightful in person.
Thank you so much for subscribing! She seams like she would be an absolute joy to be around!
Who is Brenda you guys keep mentioning?
Listening to you extolling the virtues of your fabric shop and their prices had.me in tears. I just purchased 20 fat quarters (on sale at 50% off) for $70 AUD. and I regularly pay up to $26 AUD per metre for fabric, so your ‘end of bolt’ special for less than the price of one metre really tore me up! Love your pattern.
Oh gosh Denise, those are some high prices!!! Have you ever thought of going to the thrift stores? I have found some great 100% cotton sheets and pillow cases that I have used in many quilts. Another great source for fabric is to shop the thrift stores for 100% cotton mens button down shirts, the larger the size the better. They have some fabulous colors and patterns!!! I am always looking for deals!!!
@@AmericanaQuilting I regularly buy men’s shirts etc. from the op. shop (and here we seem to equal or exceed you, mainly paying round $4-$5 per item, though I tend to wait till the $5 a bag or 10 items for $5 sales), but there is always that special colour you need, or the quantity in a shirt is not sufficient etc. Economic considerations do tend to bring out the creativity though! And I will continue to enjoy your videos which boost that creativity. Thank you.
Great idea. Just found you. Love Brenda❤
Hi Elena, I'm so glad you found me!!! I hope I will continue to give you great ideas!! Speaking of ideas, I just got inspired again by the fabulous Brenda and will be posting that video soon!!!!
Hey, I subbed your channel. I really like this Quilt! It's Gorgeous Wow, I know how I am too on controlling the scrappy fabics ! It's the perfect size ! No border just binding.
Hey Sewhapi!!! Thats exactly what I did, just a binding and quilted it with big swirling circles! i will share some finished photos on facebook and instagram! AmericanaQuilting!!!
Fun idea
Hi Sandi! Thank you so much for your comment, they really help our channel grow!!!
You could do a skinny black border. Or a black polka dot border or a red polka dot border. Would just make it pop! Looks great and looked like a fun quick quilt to make!
Oh I love a polka dot!!! Thank you so much for your wonderful comments!!! Stay Quilting!!!
Love this potato chip block 🎉 sewing many blocks, sewen many quilts
Hi Madeline, it really is a perfectly fun block to make isn't it!!!
As a member of the Aussie Chippettes we do chip block swaps. Its a great way to increase the variety of prints. I try to press seams outwards because that distributes the bulk nicely. Happy sewing.
Hi Anita, great tip and happy sewing to you and your friends in the Aussie Chippettes!!!!
Fun version of this quilt😀❤️ block/idea! You dog doing quality control on the hanging quilt was cute. I am saving up rectangles to make potato chip blocks. Brenda and I and 2 other quilters are in a collab together right now.
I have a lot of help from the dogs!! I just love Brenda, she is everything that we quilters love!!! Cant wait to see what comes of your collaboration!!!!
@@AmericanaQuilting the official start is in July, but we are already talking about what is going to happen on our channels.
I actually thought, at first, that your design wall was a border. I think the tan that is on your design wall would work great as a border. It looks great.
It did look like that didn't it!!!! I just use another quilt to hide all the drapery bolts hanging on the rack. Believe it or not that quilt is actually a potato chip quilt too!!!
I love this project. I think it would be perfect with a border just like you have it hanging in front of. I thought that beautiful neutral was actually a border at first.
Oh thank you so much for your wonderful comment, it really makes my day to hear what so many of you think!!!!
If you could use a dark pen on your patter, we could see it a little better. Can’t see yellow at all. Thanks for the video, though, I’m going to try this one!
Just finished redrawing the pattern and am going to shoot a quick short video. I am learning more and more with each video I make. Although you would have thought I would have known not to use yellow!!!!
Haha, you can’t think of everything! Besides, I’m sure you could see it fine and it just looks different on the camera. 🌸🌼
Great lesson ty I did this quilt by hand .. but used 1/2x2 1/2 pieces lol hand work to take along on trips and made blocks .. then put the blocks together with lattice .. lots of hours by hand and little pieces… yikes 😳 one and done 😂 this size pieces are better .. I have lots of scraps already cut in squares … so maybe a summer quilt would be nice … yours looks great 👍
Wow Arlene, thats a great deal of hand work indeed!!!! I'm afraid that arthritis has worked it's grip on my hands to such a degree that hand sewing that much might not be in my future!!! A summer quilt sounds really nice!! Tag us in any social media post if you share your quilt, would love to see it!!!
Great idea but can't see your example at the start of your video that you keeping showing (too light) with the design.
Hi Sierra, yes, that was definitely a newbie mistake!!! luckily the design becomes clearer as the quilt comes together!! I learn something more each time a make a video, hopefully you will stick with me until I'm a pro!!!
U r pleasant to listen
Awww thank you Nickie, I really appreciate that!!!
I will be trying this. If you are using a jelly roll you get about 380 blocks from one. Not quite enough but close enough to add to it or just make it a little smaller. So many jelly rolls I don't know what to do with. I'd use my stripology ruler to cut them all. If you are using a jelly roll then at least you could fine a fabric in the line for a border to make up the difference. Sarge is awesome. I have a Great Dane and a Labrador who keep me company and a parrot that sits in my lap to watch videos.
Jelly Rolls would work great for this quilt!! If you post your finished project (animals included please) on social media please tag us so we can see it too!!!!
Ooooh, did I see a Bullmastiff walking into your sewing room/camera area? ❤
Hi Annie, yes you did, his name is Sarge! If you want to hear his story it is included in the Wonky Four Patch video, its really a frustrating story and one of the reasons I always say "dogs make better humans than people do"!!!! I also have a younger mastiff, he is the lighter of the two. And lets not forget the three great danes!!!!
Such a great scrap quilt. Thanks for the video. Is there any reason you couldn’t have just cut the 5“ squares in half and made the bricks 2.5 x 5? That would cut out the step of trimming the rectangles at the beginning
Would love some comments. Thanks. 0:07
Hi Linda, thank you so much for your comment. 5" definitely won't work. The length has to fit the finished width. I know it seems like it should work but it won't!!! I did make a pattern for this one because so many asked questions just like yours. You can get the pattern on our website, AmericanaLongarmQuilting. Thank you so much for watching our video!!!
Where did you get your charm packs? I tried Broklyn Fabrics but couldn't find anytjing but yardage. Could you supply the infirmation for yoye finds? Thanks . Can't wait to make this!🎉
Hi Janice, I got the charm pack from Brooklyn but it was during a semi annual sale. Sign up for their newsletter and you will get notifications on all the sales. Also, there is a spot on their newsletter for a giveaway each month so I always click on that in hopes that I will win!!!! Thanks for watching and commenting!!!
Can I ask what kind of rotary blades you like? And also where did you get your cutting mat? I’m frustrated with my cutting mat … it’s big and from a major name brand but it’s not self healing (even though it’s advertised as such) and I tried a “Titanium” blade that’s just garbage. If you have any recommendations I’d love to hear them. Thanks so much ❤
I am searching for the perfect cutter and blade set up too! Thought I would try the titanium blade but am now discouraged!!! I think the key to blades may be changing them more frequently! I purchased my mat from Hobby Lobby years ago, it was on off brand, so, much less expensive than the name brands. It does ok self healing but I think there isn't going to be a perfect mat either, gimmicks all!!!
Well at least I'm not alone with the issues...lol... Love your videos, and thanks for the answer :)@@AmericanaQuilting
I love this quilt and I sure do have enough charm squares to do it too! I am so math challenged so could someone help me out? Why are you cutting off 1/2" from your charms, Couldn't you use the 5" by 2.5"? It would come out the same just a little larger, no?
Nope it has to be 2 1/2" by 4 1/2". That extra 1/2" will make your strips too long to fit with the across rows. You have, however, given me an interesting idea! Stay tuned!!!
@@AmericanaQuilting Thanks for the reply. I actually cut up a stack of paper at 5"x2.5" and sewed them trying to understand and came to your conclusion. I did say that I am math-challenged, right!
@@pjdowell2 What a great idea! I hate wasting any fabric when I'm trying to figure out a different size or how a different sized block goes together.
What’s the quilt pattern called hanging behind you. Just came across your channel very informative thankyou
That is a quilt called Lavender Fields by Christine Quilts. It was really fun to make. Please subscribe!
Hi, if this was discussed in the video or comments, my apologies. What is the quilt in back of you in the beginning of the video? Love that one….
That is a quilt I made a couple of years ago, before starting my TH-cam channel. Its called Lavender Fields by Christine Quilts. Thank you for your comment!!!
@@AmericanaQuilting thank you …. Ordered!
I have the same problem with random, mystery fabric bundles! They are almost impossible to resist. Then I have to figure out what to do with them. I guess it keeps my brain active!
Thats a great way to look at it, these purchases are keeping us cognitively sharp!!!!!
Maybe you could take a picture of your plan for this quilt and add it to the video. I could only see a blank, white page. Thank you.
Judith, you are so right, I think I'll make a short video and post so that everyone can see it more clearly. I made the video some months ago and have learned a lot since then!!! basically its just concentric rows of lights and darks.
Question: At the start, you cut your 5" blocks into 2 1/2" x 5" oblongs. Then at the end of the demo., you say they were cut 2 1/2" x 4 1/2" oblongs. Which is correct?
Hi Susan, yep I misspoke when I said 5", definitely cut them 4 1/2"!!! I have written a pattern for the quilt and it should be uploaded this weekend if you are interested. Sorry for the confusion!!!!
Can you please tell me where you got the charm pack mystery pcs and the other mystery pcs My first time to your channel
You are very formative and a pleasure to watch
I am 73 years old and I have a hard time following
Hi Pam, I'm so glad you are enjoying the channel, that makes me so very happy!!! I got all the fabrics that I showed on the video at a place called Brooklyn Fabric Company. Now, I misled folks accidentally because I didn't say I got all the fabric on sale. So, don't be shocked when you go on their website and can't find the charm pack for $6.99. The regular price for the charm pack is $9.99 I believe, still a great price.
😅 Sound familiar to me, i have the same problem. My sewing room is Fall of fabrics, bit is there is a New one on my way i need to buy it 😅
Don't get in the way of a quilter and her fabric, right!!!!
Pls do your diagrams in black, pls. I can't see the yellow.
Love your channel and thanks for the buying tip.
Hi Sharon, boy isn't that the truth!! So many people commented on that yellow, what was I thinking, that I made a short video you can watch that has it displayed much clearer. I also made a pattern and posted it to our web site, Americanalongarmquilting. Thank you so much for watching!!!
❤I'm sorry I cannot see your pattern. Thanks for the video!
As you might imagine that is a common comment!! Hahahaha. I made a short video that depicts it very well, I don't know what I was thinking coloring it yellow!!! I am also going to make a pattern for it that will be available on my website in about a week. AmericanaLongarmQuilting
Good evening. May I ask where you bought the fabric cuts from for those prices please?
Brooklyn Fabric Company! They are fantastic!!!
Thank you for your prompt response!
Do you have any patterns where you have uneven amounts of blocks? Like 2 all the way up to 14
Hi Valerie, we are in the process of getting a pattern for this quilt uploaded to our website. Give us a week to get that done. In the meantime, yes, the rounds go back and forth between even numbers and odd numbers. Hope that helps.
A flanged border would be striking if you use white as the flange and black as the border.
That would be wonderful!!! Thank you so much for your comment, they really help our channel grow!!!
How does the potato chip differ from a log cabin?
Hi Joyce, the pieces in the log cabin get longer with each round. With the potato chip block the pieces always stay the same. Now I have made a potato chip block look like a log cabin by placing the colors in a log cabin like order. That video is the Goldilox Potato Chip Block quilt. Thanks so much for your comment!!!
I love your videos. I saw an orb just to your left. Have you seen it too ?
Hi Michelle, I rewatched the video and didn't see it!!! Can you let me know at what point in the video it is at. Maybe its my mom watching over me, God knows if she would be anywhere it is in my workroom with me!!!!
Watch from 3:30 minutes… it comes in just to your left but for us watching we see it to our right. I look forward to your next video ❤
I found it! Way to go mom!!!
U said cutting 2-1/2 by 4-1/2 then u said 2-1/2 by 5-1/2. Which one is it. I want to do this with jelly rolls. Thank u
Sorry Sandra, my mouth messes up sometimes!!! The cuts are 2 1/2" by 4 1/2"!!!!
what machine are you sewing on
Hi Marlene, I have a PFAFF Expression 710. It has dual feed so its like sewing with a walking foot all the time. The only thing I don't like is that there isn't a lot of room between the head near the needle and the base. I think I notice just because I sew on an industrial machine so much doing drapery's and there is a lot of room on that one.
What if you threw them into the dryer for a mixer?
ohhh good idea!!!!!
Where do you get your bundles
Hi Ruth, I got the ones I used in the quilt from Brooklyn Fabric Company, love them!!!!
The yellow pattern is totally invisible to me and I have a relatively new iPad. How can I see it better?
I know, wasn't that just the dumbest color ever to use!!!! Loraine you can see the pattern two different places. One, I made a short video that you can watch if you go to my youtube channel. Two, I also made a pattern and put that on my website, AmericanaLongarmQuilting. Thank you so very much for your comment and trust me I will never again use yellow!!!
Is there a pattern that has the amounts needed for each section?
I have received enough comments asking for the pattern that I will definitely get a pattern written up and put on our website!! AmericanaLongarmQuilting. Give ma about a week to get it all written and uploaded.
Is there a pattern of quantity of light and dark needed?
So many people have asked for a pattern that I am going to get one written up and posted to my website. Give me about a week! AmericanaLongarmQuilting
Is that a Rimoldi serger?
Nope its a Yamato Z 1500. She is a workhorse, love her!!!
A yellow border would be nice if you decide to add one.
Yellow would have been delightful but in the end I opted for no border and I really like it! I bound it in the same green as the backing. Quilted it in a swirling circle pattern. Ill post some photos on our facebook page. Americana Longarm Quilting
