Improv Sampler Quilt

Improv Sampler Quilt

At the beginning of August, there's another Camp Stitchalot coming at you!  I get to teach (yay!)  But even better, I get to teach alongside Dan Rouse, Amanda Jean Nyberg, and Jacquie Gering!  Four quilters that love improvisational piecing.  Last week  I got to play with the sample blocks from each teacher and make them into a little quilt top! Camp Stitchalot sample for August 2013 Camp Blocks are by (starting in the upper left and continuing clockwise) Dan, Jacquie, Amanda Jean, and yours truly! Campers will get a chance to learn each technique and they can either make a block of each and put it together into a baby quilt like this or they can make it much bigger, combine the techniques, and go their own way. I had fun with the blocks a bit as they were coming in and even toyed with a layout like the one below...

Ultimately I decided it would be clearer to lay them out in a standard block arrangement, but I can't wait to make my own quilt in August and play with different layouts and combinations! Oh, and one last look at the backside of that improv sampler quilt: Camp Stitchalot Sample for August 2013 Camp Stitchalot Sample for August 2013
