This colorful improv quilt uses scraps of all sizes, Jelly Rolls, Fat Quarters, or yardage. It uses a “controlled improv” method, meaning you will have a plan and boundaries to help it flow even if you feel improv is difficult.
Materials
Choose from solids, blenders, & small print fabrics that don’t include contrasting spots, lines, or objects. Each piece should read a single color after cut to size.
NOTES ON COLORS & FABRICS
A “Color” would be a light blue, a dark yellow, or a medium purple.
A Color Group is “all” Blues or “all” Purples. (ROY G BIV)
You may need different fabrics to equal a single “color” when using scraps.
You may have all the ROY G BIV color groups in your quilt or just a couple, like Y (yellow) and G (green). If you only have Y and G, you should have lights to darks for each color group.
Regardless of the number of color groups, you need a variety of lights and darks in your quilt.
