Modern quilting is such an inspiration in terms of pattern, design and colour, and Lu Summers‘ improvised creations are wonderful examples. I love the idea of making an improvised quilt – the thought of making the same block (or similar ones) over and over again is sometimes what puts me off quilting. This abstract, design-as-you-go method would be a lot of fun.
The block in first image was the starting point for the quilt below. You can see the block in the top right corner of the finished quilt.
