The Improv Handbook for Modern Quilters: A Guide to Creating, Quilting, and Living Courageously

Forget step by step instructions and copycat designs In The Improv Handbook for Modern Quilters, Sherri Lynn Wood presents a flexible approach to quilting that breaks free of old paradigms Instead of traditional instructions, she presents 10 frameworks or scores that create a guiding, but not limiting, structure To help quilters gain confidence, Wood also offers detailed lessons for stitching techniques key to improvisation, design and spontaneity exercises, and lessons on color Every quilt made from one of Wood s scores will have common threads, but each one will look different because it reflects the maker s unique interpretation Featured throughout the book are Wood s own quilts and a gallery of contributor works chosen from among the hundreds submitted when she invited volunteers to test her scores during the making of this groundbreaking work.
