I've got some vintage printed panel pieces that are so very staid and traditional by themselves, but could be much more interesting incorporated into an improv arrangement.

I wasn't a big fan of trimming the squares at first either. For me both my laziness and not wanting to waste fabric were the reasons for it. Your version of Tipsy Geese was one quilt I wanted to add to the book but clearly ran out of time and pages after 15 patterns. Glad you tried your improv quilt using my book. That baby is lucky baby! The basket quilt with triangles all around looks fantastic too! I enjoy your in-depth posts. This was even more fun ;-) Happy Thanksgiving!

Your basket with triangles looks very 'you', which can only be a good thing, and your idea of sashing the little improv blocks makes a lot of sense; if you can get them to 'glow' you are really onto a good thing. I have just come to terms with more than one project at a time and now you introduce the idea of more than one quilt in the hoop at a time - it's a slippery slope...Kajahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08417544341324291385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5297789041481934828.post-37359445813174617192015-11-24T23:27:13.198-08:002015-11-24T23:27:13.198-08:00What a way with words.

Flying geese are one of my favorites - so many ways to put them together.<br />I've been stalled on my scrappy improv blocks. Your method of sashing them looks like a good way to handle them. There is a point where they simply become a mess.
