QAYG Meets up with Improvised Blocks

In this next quilt I am still using the narrow, joining strips, as in Crazy Shortcut Quilts, but the blocks are liberated or improvised.....which ever term you prefer.

Playing with Stripes 2008
By using oversized blocks and random or improvised joining strips, the overall design of the quilt is no longer dominated, by the joining strips. 



I used a mix of wovens and flannels.  There are those spirals again, many are off center to add to the wonkiness.


No matter how you fold the quilt, you get a different look. It's like each block is a mini art quilt on it's own.

    Hi! I'm your newest follower. CSCQ posted a link to your blog on Facebook & that's how I found you. Love your style. I've made a couple of t-shirt quilts using the QAYG method. Love it! You are welcome to check out my blog, too @ www.sewmuchbeauty.blogspot.com. I also have a love affair with circles & dots. Don't know what it is...they just make me happy :)
