I had a bit of fun on Sunday making the third improv word block for my wall hanging. The others will I hope be supplied by my bee buddies from Sew & Bee Happy ! They are certainly signing up for the brave souls and some seem to be looking forward to the challenge...?
This time I tried something a little bit different from the other two! Might be getting a bit wilder as I go along, throwing caution to the wind cos it's fun!
Anyway here is a fuzzy rendition of the new one
When I met Janine in Lewes recently I spotted the Lynette Anderson "Stitches" fabric which I have used as a tapered sashing on this block and went with the blue colours for the rest of the block! I love graphics and stitching so this word had to shout about itself a bit - though now I wish I had made it shout a bit more!
And here are my three blocks :
So if you fancy doing a bit of improv words believe me - they are not as tricky as they seem. If you go wrong you add a bit on or chop a bit off - my kind of piecing! I have posted links to my previous posts, which attempted to show you how, on the tutorials page and am happy to answer your questions if I can!
In fact improv means there is no wrong - I think!

I concur!
ReplyDeleteI agree - they look great!
ReplyDeleteYour Improv Words look great! I really love words in quilts! It adds a touch of whimsy!
ReplyDeleteYou're building up a great collection there :o)
ReplyDeleteYou got me thinking.....if you had to pick one word as your own....one word to comfort you and inspire you...one word to live by.....what would t be.
ReplyDeleteI asked my dh as he was falling asleep last night.....he wasn't impressed. He was falling asleep after all, and he is a bit of an engineer. He just doesn't think that way.
Fab!
