Project Improv

On the right you will find the Project Improv button! I joined in and there are two parts. One is creating squares for charity quilts and the other is to make something...anything...quilt, wall hanging, table runner....using no pattern and doing something you haven't done before. In other words....out of your comfort zone! Out of that little box you live in. Scary???? You bet ya! But intriguing and because there are others out there doing the same thing there is the support. You can't make any mistakes because there are no rules. Won't you come join us?

Here is my block... I might even try a few more. Who knows...maybe even a whole quilt!

decisions....sigh!!!!

I hate it when I have a plan in mind and then halfway through a project I decide that maybe I should change it....then maybe I shouldn't.....then maybe.....oh heck....you all know what I mean. Been working on this baby quilt. It is a combination of vintage chenille, flannels, several different minky textures. Wanted touchy feely for the baby....know what I mean? Also want pretty. Originally I was going to do a row of white ribbed blocks around the outside edge. Note the stack of fresh cut squares to the right.

Then I just happen to think that maybe the white would be too much so looked at maybe a border of the darker green flannel. That's what it is laying on to the right. The back will be a heavy white flannel and it will have warm & white batting in between. Here's another photo. Any thoughts are welcome.
