Improvisational Scrap Quilting Workshop


Buffy and I led a workshop yesterday for our local quilting guild. Ten talented and enthusiastic souls showed up with their scraps. We gave them 20 minutes to make each block, with Buffy's advice, "Don't think. Sew!" Look what they made in the first hour! We couldn't get it all in one photo.




Buffy added the dark and light strips, with Anna Williams inspiration. Aren't these gals amazing!

  3. The only rule was that they had to blindly choose their scraps. This is from of the Grocery Bag School of Design. It shows that chance may be a better designer than a more or less conscious quilter. I didn't share that theoretical bit. That is for the advanced class. Buffy

  4. And a good time was had by all.

    Hope the workshop attendees take off and make more improv blocks and quilts.

    Their first efforts were fabulous. Love the stripe used to put together.
