A New Take For the Potato Chip Block!

I saw this version of the quilt on a Facebook post and really like using the white.  I did change it up a bit and used  4 1/2 x 4 1/2 squares to buiod on instead of sewing 2 1'/2 x 4 1/2 strips together.  It went really fast.  I had literally taken 3 bags of random left5oers from other quiots that I had made into 2 1/2 strips and cut them into 4 1/2 and 6 1/2 lengths (I use the longer ones for another quilt I made).  They are really random scraps.  All these baby quilts I have made are 40 inches by 40 inches as that is what is required for the club's neonatal quilts.

This is the backing fabric!

This is the beginning of a more controlled version using just blues and greens.  I am liking this but am actually beginning to run out of strips!!  I will have enough for this quilt but not sure if there is enough for others and I don't have enough of any other colors from these random leftovers.  May actually have to go into my color sorted bags of strips to cut up some more!!!  These were literally made from leftovers from other quilts that Ihad gathered up in overfull bags!
