Get Started in Improv Quilting

If you want to get started in improv quilting (improvisational quilting), you'll find the book I'm reviewing in this video very helpful. Artful Improv by Cindy Grisdela takes you from choosing the colours to considering design principles when making this type of project. You'll learn to make several different improv blocks and then discover how to arrange them into an effective quilt.

Another great read! I love the controlled chaos name. Thanks again!

[@lesa6399]

Oh, gosh! I do this to piece the backs of my quilts! Thank you for sharing!!! Looks like a wonderful book!

[@maggiehallinan1771]

I love that book! I bought it awhile back and it inspires me to try a modern approach to art quilts. Thanks for highlighting this gem Kim!

[@Chatterboxquilts]

You're welcome!

[@cindycolvin2916]

Kind of like crumb quilting?

[@Chatterboxquilts]

Yes and no. You do use scrap fabrics, usually, but you might not be using really small pieces of fabric.

[@helenpeddycord2241]

My entire Quilting Studio is Controlled Chaos! Can’t create any other way. TY Kim for explaining and sharing. You seem to always share great info!💕🧵

[@Chatterboxquilts]

You are so welcome!
