Tuesday Talk

Happy Tuesday!
 
Hope your day is starting off great!  This is just a quick post.  I am running out the door for a busy day today.  I have lots to do and I hope to get some sewing in later today!
 
Question for the day?
Do you do a lot of improv piecing or do you usually follow a pattern?
 
I used to only follow a pattern because that was the only thing I knew to do.  Now, I am venturing out, and trying improv.  Below are two blocks I made for the charity quilt for our guild.  I had these colors and some strips left from a recent project, so I decided to make several blocks.  Now these blocks are not real funky or wonky.  They are just pretty straight forward, but they worked out perfectly for the quilt.  I like clean lines, so this is what I came up with.
 
 
Let me know if you do any improv piecing.
 
Hope you have a Terrific Tuesday!

  2. I usually don't follow an official pattern, but I always have a plan. I love your blocks though!
