Improv Stripes Revisited

Ever since I made this little quilt back in the summer...

during Debbie's Improv Stripes QAL, I've known that I wanted to play more with this kind of sewing.

When a sweet friend gave me a bunch of Kona scraps leftover from a quilt she recently finished, I decided I would use them to create some more Improv Stripes!

Although this isn't all of what she gave me, this is what I started with.  I wish I knew the names of each fabric, but I don't!  Kona is so creative with their names.  There are two shades of blue - a royal and a periwinkle, two turquoise-y fabrics, and two greens - a darker and a lighter sort of lime.  They are really pretty together!

First, I cut a bunch of wonky, wedge-shaped stripes out of the 4 inch wide pieces.

Then, I began sewing stripes together, randomly matching colors until I had groups of seven stripes sewn together.  Two of these blocks were sewn together to form a roughly 5 x 6 inch rectangle.

I also added some longer, skinnier stripes to the sides of a couple blocks, just to see what might happen.  

This is definitely just meant for playing with, and is a "Who knows where it will end up?" kind of project!  The blues and greens are refreshing to sew with, after finishing up my Christmas projects!
