Here’s a what I created this past weekend. Believe or not this is improv as I started with 4 x 18 inch squares of Gelato OmbrΓ© from Maywood studios. Then I β€œStacked and Whacked” them then arranged them.. #improvquilt #thekingslacker #madewithmaywood #modernquilt

I’m going to finish quilting it then I’ll probably working on quilting some of my older tops. I have greatly more tops than finished quilts. I’m also going to start practicing more on my Bernina Q20 sit down . I bought a few years ago and haven’t really used it.

We’ll see how I feel about when I get through most of quilting and before I do my signature on the front then I decide the final orientation of it. :)

Flashback.. this one of my first quilt tops called β€œFocus” that I created back in early 2016. It’s the Floating Square prompt from @sherrilynnwood.bsky.social book β€œThe Improv Handbook for Modern Quilters”. It was one of my kick start into improv quilting #improvquilt #improvquilter

I’ve created a Feed called β€œImprov Quilts” that should display bluesky posts from the past 7 daysrelated to improv quilts if the post mentions β€œimprov quilt” or a couple hashtags related to improv quilting

I’m going to start by tracing the black lines with black thread. I will using matching top and bottom thread. I was also match thread to the top fabric so the piece will stay Vibrant.

latest.. the top is almost complete. Debating whether or not to add about 6 inches to the right 3rd so that the black dot will be the center or leave as it is. My concern is that adding to the right might be obvious that I had to do that since there would be a top to bottom seam for a narrow chunk

Our minds is our biggest obstacle beside circles and Y seams… LOL
