Improv Neon Threads // Finished Modern Quilt

Project-Improv-886x10241.jpg

Project ImprovI really enjoy improv piecing, especially after working on more traditional paper-piecing. I made this quilt while I was working on Vintage Quilt Revival. Sometimes the technical pattern writing or precision required in paper piecing was too much for my brain, so I would work on a section here or there.

I also used this piece as a sort of free motion free-for-all. It is fun to see how much my skills have improved. I used a neon yellow Aurifil thread my good friend Kim had given me; I also appreciated her "you can do it" pep talks while working on the book. And before. And after.  Thanks, Kim.project quilting_neonthreadThis checkerboard is my very favorite section, in one of my very favorite colors.project improv_favorite partI have an improv quilt on my design wall right now... posting pictures of this quilt finished over a year ago makes me want to finish it up!  I"ll post a work in progress shot next week.Project IMprov: quiltingHappy Sewing!p.s. we have a ton of snow right now! School has been cancelled for a few days, but it feels okay because it is an actual *snow day* with snow. I have had a bit of time to do some updates I have been meaning to do for months. More on that next week.
