Just a gloriously sunny day outside so I was able to snap a few pictures of Improvisational Quilts, no. 7 & 8. Very pleased! I love how the colors sparkle against the blue background. They remind me of little pieces of wrapped candy.
These are a few of the improv strips I sewed Saturday. When I had a layout in mind, I sewed 3 more narrow strips. Doing that put a good dent in my small sized scrap pile. Once I trimmed up these two improv quilts, those trimmings went into the pile so it's never ending. But I do feel like I am making headway.

So much loveliness! I feel blessed to be surrounded with wonderful colors!

This is an outstanding piece of work. Look at all those fantastic colors. I just love those blue colors and their blending into the quilt makes it standout.
ReplyDeleteThe blue popped those colors!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous work. You are so talented
ReplyDeleteGreat designs, but wouldn't it be great to actually have a black tree silhouette across the side like some of the pictures do? I really like these.
ReplyDeleteInspirational and Improvisational! Viewing this 5 years after the post. Such wonderful use of fabric. I would love to know your thought process and how you decide to place things. I understand sometimes it's simply instinctual and not easily explained.
