PART 3 - Sashing & Bordering the Funky Cat Improv Blocks

IMPROV: the activity of making or doing something not planned beforehand, using whatever can be found. Watch me use improvisation or “improv” as applied to quilting. I take a panel and a few other fabrics to create quilt blocks “on the fly”. Enjoy! (My quilt finished at 64 x 85)

Your sashing really made a big difference in the looks of your quilt! I really like it! The accent fabric is perfect! The whistling bird sounds like he approves, too! Such nice weather!

[@genawalter401]

The swirl fabric adds so much! I love it! ❤

[@patricialoomis9682]

Love the gray and black with the colorful fabric. Fantastic quilt.

[@coquetscache]

Wow those kitties are going to be a hit with the Cat People! Very nice!

[@Sewwithdebee]

The sashing really pulls it altogether, I design on the fly😊

[@tiffanycollier54]

That looks great!! When you first brought out the sashing fabric, I thought it was going to be a little much! But then as it came together, it's really spectacular!! I see some kind of an improv quilt in my future! Thank you for sharing this with us!!

[@jonifotheringham5436]

This turned out so cute🎉. I love how the background adds balance to the blocks as well as the floating effect. Really nice ❤😊

[@Kaylene16]

I love how this funky cat top turned out, great job!

[@annamoreau457]

I’m so trickled with this project. Now, I have an official name for what I’ve been doing for years, “Flying off the seat of my pants “ , it’s “ Improv quilting and freestyle piecing”. Thanks!

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Yes! It sounds much more official 😉

[@sharonspencer6486]

What a beautiful quilt. Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge with us.😊❤

[@chrisclark9862]

That turned out fantastic! You make it look so easy. I know I would overthink every block.

Good job I love cats and it’s nice how all the blocks are different. Thank you for sharing that with us.

[@elizabethamis9376]

Brilliant result! My hubby just doesn't understand. He's suggested your next video should be improv fighter jet building! 😂 What a rascal! ❤👍from Somerset UK

[@lessonslearnt5966]

🤣 I could probably do that!

I love your cat quilt! You have such a good eye for blending such dramatically different fabrics! Everything looks like it belongs together now. Just perfect and beautiful! BTW, where's Blue today? He's such a sweet little guy!

[@lessonslearnt5966]

Blue was right there, but I guess he didn’t get in the frame this time

[@patriciaemeigh4370]

[@SandyDenney-so5ms]

Cool. I like it.

[@veraweeks8534]

What are you using for the ruler handle? I have used command strips but I like your round knob.

[@lessonslearnt5966]

I use Quilters Select rulers and the little handles are by the same company. The best price for the rulers is from Sewing Parts Online. The knobs are very affordable.

[@helenfields2318]

Love the results...each block is so cute and your colors are just right!
