If you've stopped by lately, you will know I've been playing with a little touch of improv! I spent a fun afternoon today getting this colourful 'strings' improv quilt top together. In the end, the result is nothing like how I first envisaged ... but that's ok! and a few closeup pics of the fabrics... - a little bit of bright sunshine on a cloudy day I enjoyed the free form cutting and fortunately, trimming up the blocks to get them to all fit together was quite easy! I played with the arrangement to get a bit of overall balance, and added in some longer connecting strips in the more trickier areas. I used a scrappy selection of Carolyn Friedlander 10" squares, and those connecting filler strips are teal Acacia by Tula Pink. Improv ideas, including using a framework & setting limits, came from this book 'The Improv Handbook for Modern Quilters' and further inspiration from Ashley from filminthefridge. Linking up with Cynthia for 'oh scrap' here and with the April AHIQ over here - where others are sharing more improvisational projects
