Curious About Improv Piecing but Not Sure Where to Start?

In this class, you’ll explore the art of abstract design through improv-style paper piecing. Using photos of plants, animals, or natural scenes as inspiration, you’ll learn how to create your own unique paper piecing blocks—more abstract than literal, driven by shape, rhythm, and movement.

You’ll design multiple blocks from a variety of photos and resize them into different proportions to add visual interest. The images won’t be copied exactly; they’ll be simplified and act as springboards for your creative interpretation. Then we will use them to design a larger piece adding in some improv connecting strips.

We’ll simplify color choices by using just two main colors: one for your subject and one for your background. Each should include 6–8 (or more) shades or values of each.

⭐️ Made by Seattle MQG member, Clare!

🔁 reposted: A fun little scrappy quilt. Most of these blocks were made in 2021 but I just finished the quilt a couple months ago. I’m a fan of the blue-green, yellow-green, and rusty-brown palette. One bonus of not making blocks in modules that fit together is the necessary opportunity for adding coping strips.

This is a good one, friends. 🎨 We got together with the team at American Patchwork & Quilting to dream up something fun for 2027, and we landed here! Scrappy goodness + controlled color...there’s so many ways to go with this. We imagine everything from modern traditional to improv quilts - dig through your scraps (or make new ones) and show us your modern takes on this single-hued scrap challenge. Check out the full challenge rules on our website - link is in our bio!

2 mini-palettes + HSTs + 100% of proceeds supporting children’s art programs in Atlanta = a total win. Members, have you seen today’s Modern Monday? We just announced the 2027 QuiltCon Community Outreach Challenge.

Gather your guild or group, choose one mini-palette, make a design featuring half-square triangles, and get to sewing! This year, we are partnering with Paint Love to support art programs for kids in the Atlanta area. Mark your quilt “for sale” at QuiltCon and join the scaled impact our Community Outreach quilt sales make on the local area.
