Improv Sampler – Melissa King

Improv Sampler was my first improvisational quilt. I wanted to explore putting a spin on traditional quilt blocks. Several artists imcluding Victoria Findlay Wolfe, Cindy Grisdela, Maria Shell, and Sherri Lynn Wood gave me inspiration to explore this type of quilting.

In the quilt one sees circles, wedges, curves, triangles, and squares. The quilting was done by free motion and straight line using rulers.

There is a preconceived notion with some quilters that a quilt should be perfect.

Improvisational quiltingallowed me the freedom to create and play without perfection.
