I did find the longer ones were significantly easier to piece; I wonder if that's why she had you making such BIG blocks during the workshop. :-)Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07317319224777774226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6901250017057336746.post-4315808585510546122015-07-03T22:38:53.604-04:002015-07-03T22:38:53.604-04:00I am trying to dip my toes into improv quilting. ...I am trying to dip my toes into improv quilting.

I hate rules in general, and especially in quilting and other arts. :D So of course I love improv!

I guess as a beginner quilter (having done less than 10 quilts), I've stuck to patterns to gain some accuracy and am doing some scrappy work in a postage stamp.

Modern Quilt Bee is another book I've found useful on the improv front. I've made a number of quilts inspired by the blocks in it... I can't say that about all the books on my shelf!Jenn @ A Quarter Inch from the Edgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06657846734631422153noreply@blogger.com
