Improv Kintsugi

These uncertain times resulted in, among other things, a cancellation of a planned quilt retreat this week, and a restlessness about what to even work on here at home. I finally settled on a table-topper of sorts for a vintage table in our living room that needed a little protection.

I flipped through Nicholas/@quiltsfromtheattic's Inspiring Improv to see what else might be fun to try and boy did I find it. Actually, I found a couple of things and asked hubby to pick one. That helped me settle on Improv Kintsugi - another thing I knew nothing about!

Picking fabric was really fun, as I worked to coordinate with our living room. I came up with an assortment of Carolyn Friedlander prints in brown and orange, a beautifully rich Kaleidoscope Persimmon from Alison Glass, and for a background, a textural Natural Essex Yarn Dyed Homespun.

Soooo, after measuring my table's top, I figured out that a 4 X 7 arrangement of 6" finished blocks would be perfect. So that's where I am now, piecing them together and thinking about quilting. This kind of diversion is the best!
