This month, let’s have some fun with improvisational blocks! You can use improv piecing or applique. This goal of this month is to experiment and have fun.

If you’d like to learn more about improv, the MQG site has this great Improv Resource Playlist (requires member login).

A few constraints to give the blocks some harmony:

• Take inspiration from winter, though you don’t need to make a literal representation of something wintery. Maybe take inspiration from a snowflake, a winter storm, an icy river - whatever you like.
• Keep the colours limited to white and cool shades of blue (leave the tropical aqua tones for warmer weather!)
• The blocks you turn in should be 8.5 x 8.5”, or slightly bigger. With improv, it’s often easier to aim for a slightly bigger block and then trim it down.
