Improv Your Own Adventure
Take your first steps with improv quilting! This block is structured, yet created on impulse with just a couple of rules that you decide for yourself. It can be difficult to try improv when you’re used to following precise block patterns, so this is a great start to loosen up. The final result is a unique quilt with a modern aesthetic. Instructions for a matched binding are included. This PDF download pattern is foundation paper pieced, with templates included for both home and copy shop printing (letter and tabloid).

2 1/2m off-white solid
2 1/2m black solid
1/2m each of six other solids (Cover quilt uses Kona colours - Quicksilver, Lilac, Petunia, Deep Rose, Chartreuse and Celestial)
2m of 90” wide batting
4m backing
1/2m binding (optional – included in white/black fabric quantity for a matched binding)
Previously published in British Patchwork and Quilting, March 2020.
