Night Trees Quilt

Something different this time around. This quilt started in Sherri Lynn Wood’s Scrap Doodling class at Quiltcon 2015.  The improvisational process created the first tree shape, and I chose to continue making these fun blocks.  I think I officially beige-d myself out and reached for blacks and blues for the background, and bright, fun tree colors.  It was a bit tricky to photograph the tones, but here are a couple of shots:

All quilted on my home machine.  The trees are left unquilted.

Improv Arrow Quilt Block Tutorial

A group within the Ann Arbor Modern Quilt Guild is working together on a charity quilt featuring improvisational arrow blocks.  Today I grabbed some scrap fabric and experimented with a piecing strategy.

For my group, these are not instructions and certainly feel free to create your arrow blocks however you’d like!  But let me offer this Improv Arrow Quilt Block Tutorial just in case it’s useful.
