I have... and I love improvisational piecing. I took a class with Denyse Schmidt... we started out grabbing little pieces from a bag blindly sewing them together and then getting larger & larger pieces.. the idea of the excerise was to trust the process and not try and control the outcome of the block. I can say it was liberating. I now make both traditional/pattern/precise blocks and improv too when the need arises ;-)

Has anyone else tried this and if so, do you like it better than traditional piecing?
