My small group met and we made black and white prints with a pop color and did improv type squares that all ended up about 9 inches. Some worked fast and some slower but all enjoyed seeing results of our work. We did this for about 5 or 6 months at our meetings for several hours then lunch. We put the quilt in state fair.
Thank you for your informative video. Especially the 3 finished quilts shown in the end. Sashinko quilting would also be great for those unpieced areas. 💕
Just discovered this and I’m super excited to get started! Only trouble is I’m such a newbie that I don’t have scraps 😂 So I guess it’ll take a stack of fat qrts to get me going 😉
Usually, the name 'crazy quilt" refers to quilts with stitched embellishments on top. Improv quilts would look absolutely beautiful as a "crazy quilt" but Cindy doesn't usually finish her quilts with embroidered seam designs.
From all impro I have seen this pleases me the most!

Interesting. I have a lot of scraps; might try to make an improv log cabin type of block. Thanks for the video.
Cindy, is there a reason you prefer solids vs prints or batiks?
could you talk a bit about how you quilt these types of quilt tops? is it done on machine?
Cindy quilts both by hand and by machine, depending on the quilt. There is a whole section on quilting in her book, Artful Improv.
Some good info there and I bet the book is fun
Isn't this basically just crazy quilt blocks with a different name?
