Improvisational piecing is playful approach to quilting. However, while the process of improv can feel liberating, quilters who are new to it can sometimes find it difficult to integrate this technique with their usual quilt-making processes and design sensibilities. This workshop combines the no-holds-barred process of improvisational piecing with the more planned, disciplined piecing of of traditional quilt designs, producing projects that are based on students' favorite quilt blocks but feature a jolt of improvisational whimsy.
