“Coconut Ice” Potato Chip Quilt

image

Cassandra Philpot has taken my directions for the Potato Chip Quilt and made it her own. I’ve lost track of the number of Potato Chip quilts she has made.

 

She’s used soft colors with just enough contrast and accent to make a great quilt.

Her use of two spacer squares between each strip adds color contrast and value contrast.

The narrow inner border with the diagonal inserts is another detail that enhances the overall design.

This still is one of the fastest quilts you’ll ever piece.

It’s so quick and easy you still have time to make one for a Christmas gift!
