$43.00

A Playful, Intuitive Approach to Improv Quilting Improv quilting is an art. The more you understand how to respond to what’s in front of you, the more comfortable you will feel working in an improv manner. Some of the advantages of improv quilting are that there are no patterns, no mistakes, no stress. You simply enjoy the rhythm of sewing, feeding two pieces of fabric under your needles again and again, finding an almost-Zen rhythm.

Note: because all improv quilts are different every time one is made, the photos here are representations of some I have made over the years. The two last photos (the pink and green row quilt and the fall-colored medallion) are quilts I made using the same directions for blocks.

A Playful, Intuitive Approach to Improv Quilting

Improv quilting is an art. The more you understand how to respond to what’s in front of you, the more comfortable you will feel working in an improv manner. Some of the advantages of improv quilting are that there are no patterns, no mistakes, no stress. You simply enjoy the rhythm of sewing, feeding two pieces of fabric under your needle again and again, finding an almost-Zen rhythm.

Basic improv skills include sorting and preparing scraps, building improv units from scraps and pieces, trimming with intention, combining units, and solving layout challenges.

This beginner improv course will also help you to understand concepts of color, value and proportion; how to use variation; how repetition supports your personal style; how to have a conversation with your quilt, and how to trust your instincts.

Especially helpful is that these skills and concepts will also support your interests in both modern and traditional quilting.
