This modern improv scrap quilt took me just two and half evenings to finish.

Then you will have these units or blocks and it becomes a kind of jigsaw puzzle operation of trying to fit them together.

The aim at this point is to build and build into larger sections that can be joined to eventually make the quilt top.

Combine some of the smaller units you have made to each other and then trimming off one side or another to make a straight edge.

(Improv Style)

This modern improv scrap quilt took me just two and half evenings to finish.

Supplies Used:

– Ruby Star Scrap Bag – Fabric Remnants – Fabric Strips – Accent Color Scraps – Backing Fabric – Quilt Batting

‘Designing’ my Quilt Top

I started by laying out some low volume large remnants on the floor. To make out the basic background of the quilt.

On top of the low-volume fabric I just randomly placed some of the Ruby star scraps from my scrap bag.

Joining Sections to Make Your Quilt Top
