So.. I am attending a workshop with Denyse Schmidt tomorrow on her style of making improvisational quilts .. and just found out I am supposed to have a WIP ready .. which I don't because I dont do much of this style sewing.. so I made up these today.. we'll see what they turn into tomorrow :-)

I like it so far. :lol: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I will definitely be watching this thread. I look forward to hearing how the workshop goes and what you'll do with the blocks.

Love the colors. Hope you post more!!

Nice start. Can't wait to see what becomes of them.

Nice ones

Love the look! Can't wait to see the finished quilt!

Wow, love that yellow you included! I bet you find you are ahead of the rest of the class! Hope you let us see your results after the class.

Love the colors

This should be an interesting class. I had never heard of her so went to her website. Will be watching this thread with interest.

OK well.... I am on a break at work and don't have the pictures with me. We started with a warm up excerise making an improv block using Denyses scraps and after that experience I decided to abandon these blocks (for the class purposes) and continue the block I made during the warm up. I loved the blocks I made in preparation for the class but in the warm up, we had to basically let go of controling the outcome of the blocks by not choosing our fabrics (just grabbed from a bag blindly) and we had to NOT use our rulers. So.. these blocks now looked too forced to me. I want to finish them.. maybe just sash in yellow or?? Anyway.... more when I post the picts.

Interesting. I hope that you'll post the blocks soon. I look forward to seeing them.

Those are cool, I like them!!

Well here are the improv blocks ... I think what I really enjoyed is the process of making them and learning to 'trust' the process.

Love your colors. Can't wait until it is finished

Really? Gosh I really like the blocks only because of I enjoyed making them.... but if I saw these without making them I might not think there were so nice ;-)

Nice.

If Denyse Schmidt ever does any workshops near me I'm going to have to do one. It seems like it was very informative and fun.
