A couple of weeks ago I attended an Improv Letters Workshop<\/a> with Felicity Ronaghan (felicityquilts.com<\/a>).\u00a0 My plan was to make some words to include in the baby quilt I’m making.<\/p>\n

The workshop was great!\u00a0 Here are some of the letters made by participants.<\/p>\n

Now I just have to build a quilt around the words using the the wonky crosses and improv stripe blocks on my design wall.<\/p>\n
