An Improv Sampler

Today is the day to link up my progress on Elm Street Quilts' Play Improv QAL.   I'm calling mine "Improv Sampler" because that is what it is - each week I'm making a different type of block in an improv or wonky style.

We started with a wonky log cabin -

I made this block into the center of my quilt, medallion style, and have been adding on to it with each week's new blocks.

Improv triangles -

Stack, cut, and sew rectangles -

And then, this last week was improv flying geese.  I started by working on three of them, small, medium, and large.  

Just cutting, sewing, and trimming up - very liberating!

I knew I would need some more geese, to make this block fit in with one side of my sampler, so I ended up with a column of five, and used up a few scraps to add in those stripes.

This week's prompt is wonky stars!  I'm excited to give them a try.  It's so fun to mull it all over - what size do I want to make them, what colors, where will they fit on this piece?
