The consequences of freedom

My improv blocks thus far:



And this is what the process has done to my cutting table:



Now, in the picture, my pins and rotary cutter are out in the open, but that has been a relative rarity in this process. I have nearly severed a digit countless times just today, so chances are I may qualify for our accidental dismemberment insurance policy soon!

I'm sure you have been inundated with examples of improv type quilting, but here is one block that I read regularly that is pretty much all improv:

I have several others if you're interested. Love what you've done so far.

Tallgrass Prairie Studio is definitely where some of the inspiration for these blocks came. Some other bloggers that I read regularly have done some as well.

I'm kind of avoiding looking for more at the moment, because I just want to see what I manage to come up with on my own. Part of the fun is doing it without too much thinking.
