30 Days of Improv QAL – Curves

This week for the 30 Days of Improv QAL – Curves! I love to sew improv curves, so I’ve had some fun with my blocks so far. Here’s a peek, for those of you who may not have seen them on Instagram.

Before we get to my improv curves, I should catch you up on the rest of my improv triangles from last week.

Some of my triangles showed up better than others, and some of the blocks turned out differently than I expected. When I make my blocks, I don’t really have a plan in mind. I start with a cut and see where it leads; however, some cuts make me think the block will look a certain way, and then it changes the whole look. I enjoy that!

Now to this Monday’s blocks, just simple curves, actually more like waves.

With the second one, I added a few more curves and some pieced bits from scraps of other blocks.

For the third one – my least favorite of these three – I added in more bits from other blocks to see how it would work with the curves.

Tuesday’s blocks went together quickly. We were encouraged to play with small curves, which was pretty easy to do with 5-1/2 inch blocks.

Just a few more blocks and it will be time to play with the layout. I enjoy looking up at my design wall and seeing all of the blocks – 26 of them so far – on my wall. I have a few more to make for the 30 Days of Improv QAL – Curves week, and I’ll share those in another post. You can see my other blocks in this post.
