Improv Stripes Progress
Just popping in with a bit of an update on the Improv Stripes QAL going on now on Instagram! Over 50 of us are sewing along together and what a gorgeous array of blocks are showing up in the #improvstripesqal hashtag! Not mandatory of course, but if you are sewing along, consider making some 'mixed' blocks if you haven't already. Or in some way, make a few that are different than the others you've already made. Whatever, have fun and don't over think it!

This will be my first "modern" quilt. From the modern quilts I see solid colors seem almost regulation. This may sound silly but I will be using tone on tone. Is that OK? I see you have some blk/wht fabric but to me that is a more modern feel. Let me know. No one likes their quilt laughed at.

Having so much fun with this. I've made 17 blocks. A nice round number, ha
ReplyDeleteI am following along and have several blocks made, but haven't had a chance to blog or post IG photos yet! One question: should we square up the blocks or cut off those uneven ends yet?
ReplyDeleteNo - don't worry about trimming those ends until you get to layout... How you trim may be affected by your decisions then.
DeleteI just found out about this from Quiltswissy. What a fun and exciting quilt-a-long! I have been making improv striped quilts for many years although the technique I use is different from yours. I will be checking in to see the progress your followers make. Just for fun I will email you some pictures of my striped quilts. I have no idea how to use instagram - yes, that is pathetic I know!
ReplyDeleteI am following using scraps. Love doing this. Now I just have to figure out how to use instagram!
ReplyDeleteI'm following and have a some blocks made up. Instagram doesn't like me so I'll post my photos on my blog, crazyvictoriana.blogspot.com. I work slow but sure not fast and whizzy, I hope that works. I think there are many possibilities with these blocks and the variations a person could follow are endless, fun time!
ReplyDeletePS I was in your improv class at Gossypium.
This is my first quilt along in a long time! What a fun project!
ReplyDeleteI just had to join in. I posted photos today on my blog with a link to your blog.
ReplyDeleteDon't know how to use Instagram! Where can I see the steps??
