I’m playing with improv Orange Peel blocks for the VMQG Round Robin challenge. This is our last round, and the theme is Curved piecing. I’ve always admired Orange Peel quilts, the wonkier the better. Obviously, I haven’t settled on a size yet – I’m experimenting with various sizes. Maybe I’ll use them all – that’s the freedom of improv piecing!
I found lots of inspiration on the Internet, especially these three quilts.

Very cool! I love your inspiration quilts. They’ve sparked my interest to but this type of quilt on the “bucket list” of quilts to make. Thanks for sharing!
What fun blocks. Can’t wait to see how you’ll use them.
Neat! I only tried the applique way and these improve looks pretty cool too!
I’m lovin’ the improv look, Terry, with multiple block sizes. And that ‘wedding ring’ version is very cool — especially with that splash of orange. Great fun! Best wishes for Christmas, Terry, and a healthy, happy, creative New Year!
Ooh, I love your improv piecing. I’d love to branch out from applique and try this. Thanks for sharing my quilt! 🙂
Your Orange Peel blocks look like a lot of fun! The inspiration quilts you show are so pretty. Can’t wait to see what you end up going with for your setting! Merry Christmas to you and yours!
