In our “first exciting episode” about this series, I showed the fabrics and the first set of improvised blocks, which were based on triangles cut from a strip set…
I trimmed each block to 6-1/2″ wide; the length is random
For the second set of improvisational blocks, I set these rules:
- Start with a strip set
- Cut and recombine the strip set in random ways
- Continue to do the final trim so that each block is 6.5″ wide; any length is OK
Here are the blocks:
I wasn’t crazy about these and decided to return to a more planned approach with the next set. The rules for it were:
- Start with a strip set
- Recombine it into loose grids
- Keep to 6.5″ in one dimension for each block.
I’m marginally more satisfied with these, but that 3rd block in this set makes me think that the next set will need some diagonal lines. Stay tuned! And thanks for visiting 🙂
Zippy Quilts 
Fun experiments! I like all of them so far. Will enjoy seeing where this series goes!
And the real question is whether it can all go in one quilt when I’m done!
Fun to watch your experimentation!
Thanks for watching 🙂
Love the experiments!
Thanks!
The improvisational blocks are amazing! You got incredibly creative on them! I love the V shaped one as well as the others!
Thanks!
