My turn for...Blog Hop for Scrappy Improv Quilting

 

Today is the day........My turn on the Scrappy Improv Quilting blog hop for Kelly Young @My Quilt Infatuation. My quilt is the "Improv Chapel Window" quilt. Very stained glass like improv scraps. Kelly used solids in the book for this quilt and I decided to use whatever was in my scrap bin. I made a sunrise rainbow-like style going from light to dark fabrics. I think it has a sunlight feel!

 Measures 22" x 22"  

Kelly's book is filled with improv mini quilts with easy to follow instructions. Kelly is a hero of mine when it comes to using up scraps after making beautiful quilts and this book really puts those scraps to good use! If you follow Kelly's blog you will often come across a post where she uses up ALL her remaining scraps from a quilt. I dream of being able to do that some day.

 I used the diamond window as inspiration for my quilting for this mini. I think it worked well. 

 

 

I had quite a bit of fun out taking photos of this little cutie. 

     

I had this crazy piece of fabric perfect for a backing to my stained glass window. 

Kelly gives you help on finishing and binding the mini quilts as well as help with displaying. Her directions are easy and I love the beautiful photos of each of the 22 Mini quilts in this book. You can purchase the book HERE.
