A week ago, I started sewing blocks for a quilt for my brand new great-niece Evelyn. I planned make improv stripes in pink, purple and low volume prints.\u00a0 I started making blocks about 13 inches square, thinking that would make a quick quilt.<\/p>\n

Here are a couple of possible arrangements I posted on Instagram.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \u00a0 \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But looking at the blocks on my design wall, they just didn’t seem bright and colorful enough.\u00a0 I decided to add some yellow and orange to the mix, and some darker neutrals to add contrast.\u00a0 Then I decided to add some wonky crosses.\u00a0 This is where I am now – still just making blocks with no real plan, just sticking them on the design wall.\u00a0 But I’m much happier with how it’s looking.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I won’t finalize the layout until next week, because this Sunday I’m taking an Improv Letters Workshop<\/a> with Felicity Ronaghan.\u00a0 I think some improv letters (saying something like ‘Welcome to the World, Evelyn’) will fit in well with the wonky crosses and improv stripes.<\/p>\n
