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).
