Potato chips






Long time coming!  All 86 by 98 inches of it.  I saw these tiny, as in crazy tiny nine patches on Crazy Mom quilts last summer.  For 2 days I kept thinking about them and finally thought, I gotta make one.  And that folks is how you end up sewing on 5 quilts (or more) at one time.  I spent alot of last summer making these.  I enjoyed sewing them more than I've enjoyed sewing in a long time.  When I remember last summer, I think of a trip we took to the ocean, the pick-up truck we bought and these nine patches I spent so many quiet nights making.   I call this quilt, potato chips because apparently I couldn't make just one.

Thanks Amanda Jean for the pattern and the inspiration

    Wow, this is so cool. The pattern is really simple but the small pieces make it really special. I like the quilted leaves in the corner.

    Wow! When Amanda Jean came up with the idea, I thought it was very nice and I wanted to make some tiny ninepatches. Never got around to it, but now I HAVE to try. Awesome!
