Improv Quilt - WIP


Spent last Saturday sewing with Sarah (in the picture). I was working on another project but asked her to hold this one up for the picture. I usually have to ask the husband but I think I need some new quilt models. :)

I think I'm moving out of my bright color phase now. Moving towards softer colors and a lot of blues, aquas, and teals. We'll see where that goes!

Improv Piecing - This is Fun!

I'm really enjoying improv piecing - I love not knowing what is going to happen with the piece and seeing it come together is really fun!

Improv Piecing Experiment 2



So I had a bunch of bright scraps from the Grandmother's Flower Garden Flowers I'm making for the store and I've been wanting to use them. This is what I did.

I took a piece of batting (left over from another quilt), cut some backing fabric for it, and a piece of Kona White. I just ironed them on to the batting. No pinning or basting.

Then I took scraps, used my walking foot and sewed them on. Placed the fabric right side down on the opposide side of how I wanted the fabric placed. Sewed a 1/4" seam (kid of approximately... I just used the edge of my walking foot). And then pressed the fabric to the right side. I made sure that I folded in a 1/4" seam if I knew I would be letting some of the white background show.



Added more strips and scraps as went along. 



And added some quilting stitches now and then when I felt like it. 



Squared it up when I was done. Just needs binding. 


I like doing these minis.... I feel like I'm getting some practice and my work can evolve.

Improv Piecing is great!

My first improv piece and quilt as you go project... and all done in an evening! So satisfying. :)


Has some batik strips. Used a backing and piece of batting... ironed out the strips and pieced away.
