Improv Rings

After completing my little Interlude participating in Nicholas/@quiltsfromtheattic's Improv Triangle Sewalong, I was totally up for some more improv. So I grabbed my copy of Inspiring Improv and settled on Improv Rings as my next little experiment.


To add to the fun, I pulled over the scrap basket and started pulling another random palette together. All the peaches and pinks and oranges, just a purple or two, and a pair of 'pickles'. It all seemed a little off, but then again, I kinda liked it. ALOT. 


So I'm still at it, probably not for long, as my 'long enough' scraps in these colors have been used up, and I need to pull from stash to continue. Now I'm debating whether to keep going for a bit and then 'just' square it up or float it on one fabric as a background. Whatcha think? (no promises, ha!)

  1. I was going to ask what next with this! I could see this turning into a really interesting bag or pouch.

  2. Make several in varying sizes/colours and then add them to a background.

  4. I love all of these ring layers. The block would look great on a bag or floated on a lot of negative space on a quilt.

  8. Beautiful colours! It might be a shame to square it up so I vote floating!

  10. I think by now you already know what your going to do with it! I'm a bit late to this post. Whatever you decide it'll be amazing. It looks like so much fun and the colors are gorgeous together!

  11. I would make more and then try to figure out how to connect them along with some background. You could also play with other colors to add more interest.

  12. I made one similar to this in shades of blue and gold, squaring each one to 12" and then sewing them together into a quilt for the bed. I love how it turned out, and have had many compliments on the quilt. Your rosy shades with the pickle sliver are unique and beautiful. They might make a lovely table runner. Thanks for sharing!
