From all impro I have seen this pleases me the most!

My small group met and we made black and white prints with a pop color and did improv type squares that all ended up about 9 inches. Some worked fast and some slower but all enjoyed seeing results of our work. We did this for about 5 or 6 months at our meetings for several hours then lunch. We put the quilt in state fair.

Fab! Thank you😊

[@themirrorimagestitcher]

I really like how you emphasize that fun is the main ingredient 😊

[@dcinrb8538]

Thank you for your informative video. Especially the 3 finished quilts shown in the end. Sashinko quilting would also be great for those unpieced areas. 💕

Some good info there and I bet the book is fun

[@skulls6660]

Interesting. I have a lot of scraps; might try to make an improv log cabin type of block. Thanks for the video.

🥰 Keep Rocking 🤙 the good stuff 👍 Beautiful person 🤗 now l go book 😉

[@LoriFeldmanTheDatabaseDiva]

Cindy, is there a reason you prefer solids vs prints or batiks?

[@maggiehallinan1771]

Just discovered this and I’m super excited to get started! Only trouble is I’m such a newbie that I don’t have scraps 😂 So I guess it’ll take a stack of fat qrts to get me going 😉

[@p.a.turner8240]

could you talk a bit about how you quilt these types of quilt tops? is it done on machine?

[@CandTPublishing]

Cindy quilts both by hand and by machine, depending on the quilt. There is a whole section on quilting in her book, Artful Improv.

[@danettecross8608]

Isn't this basically just crazy quilt blocks with a different name?

[@CandTPublishing]

Usually, the name 'crazy quilt" refers to quilts with stitched embellishments on top. Improv quilts would look absolutely beautiful as a "crazy quilt" but Cindy doesn't usually finish her quilts with embroidered seam designs.
