Improv for Everyone :: Perfectly Pointless

It's been a couple of weeks now since I took another Improv for Everyone workshop with Maria Shell @mariashellquilts, this time "Perfectly Pointless." We were to pull a full range of solid fabrics in preparation for the workshop - purple, blue, turquoise, green, yellow, orange, red, and pink and neutrals (black, white, brown, and grey). I started with a pile of colors, figuring I'd pull neutrals as I needed or wanted them.


During class, I was able to at least begin piecing several kinds of triangle blocks, with no end purpose in mind, other than giving them a try.


Then after class, I continued on to make the triangle strip below.


And then my blocks hung out on the design wall.... until yesterday. For one of my classes at QuiltCon, I need to bring several 'orphan' blocks of various sizes. So I cleaned up what I had started from the workshop, and will take these. So like the arcs from my recent post, expect to see these again. One can hope.


Meanwhile, Maria has another Improv for Everyone (AKA very affordable) workshop coming this summer, and you can sign up for it now and get it on your calendar. The session is recorded, so even if you end up not being able to attend, you'll have some good info in hand. So check out Improv for Everyone—The Scrap Buster Edition–Virtual Workshop scheduled for July 12, 2025 if you're interested.
