It's hard to believe I haven't played with
Improv Piecing
for almost a year...
I pulled out my very meager stash of
solid fabrics...
I sliced them into strips of random widths:
Darks on the left.....Lights on the right
I decided to create 9 patch blocks:
No measuring....freehand cutting
I don't want the seams to match up...
Improv 9 Patch
I want the blocks to be a bit wonky...
Yes, this is what I want...
Here it is on the design wall...
I also added in a few improv square blocks
to keep it interesting...
We are heading into a busy summer
of making hay...
this is a good little project that I can
pop into the Thread Shed for a few minutes
here and there and make a square or two.
Looking forward to pecking away at this
over the next few months !
Just had to show off the pink rhodies
in front of the Thread Shed

Fun quilt to pop in to work on throughout the summer when time permits! Your Rhodies are gorgeous!!! Do they require trimming or can you just leave them to grow wild?
ReplyDeleteRhodies do really well here in Western Oregon, especially here in the coastal mountain range. You can trim rhodies or just let me grow wild if they have the room.

Looks like some of the chunks you are cutting off the blocks would be good parts to use in another block along the way, too! Not much waste in improv, is there?
ReplyDeleteYes, Kathy, that little pile of trimmings is yummy. I am thinking they could be incorporated into some sort of border treatment?
