Improv Challenge 2020!

CMQG Improv Challenge 2020
Sponsored by Winter Creek Cloth!
 

 Here are the guidelines... there aren't many. Hey, it's IMPROV!
 
Quilt top only: no need to quilt and bind, so give yourself the freedom to play and experiment. 

Choose your size and shape (but make it at least 24" x 24").

Select a minimum of three from the following improv piecing techniques and incorporate them into a quilt top:

  • wonky stars
  • triangles/flying geese
  • free-form curves
  • inserts
  • rings/roses
  • slabs/floating squares

Other techniques you want to try? GO FOR IT! Just include a minimum of three.

This challenge is voluntary and for personal growth only, to apply what you've learned about improv piecing-- and specifically to get yourself out of your comfort zone! There are NO judges, so relax and enjoy the creative process.

Everyone who finishes a top and submits a photo by November 9th will be entered to win a $50 gift certificate, courtesy of our improv challenge sponsor, Winter Creek Cloth!
