One of my favorite things to do is help a new quilter to get started. Over the years I have had the opportunity to do some one-on-one teaching that has turn out some really good quilters. Well, a couple of weeks ago on our mini-retreat one of the ladies who went with us was really a beginner. I along with the other two ladies helped her make this quilt. I find this "Potato Chip Quilt" to be a great beginner quilt.

In my neck of the woods we call that a Rainy Day Quilt - you start and finish it in a rainy day afternoon.
Same idea - you can't eat just one Potato Chip.
It is a fabulous beginner quilt.
For a different take, you can make an awesome looking quilt with very little effort. I like to use two big prints together - and then see what happens.

Love it! I haven't heard that design called 'potato chip' but I do like the way it highlights fabric design. Good job for all 3 of you -- and how satisfying for a newbie to get something nice accomplished right away.
