Quilting Modern: Techniques and Projects for Improvisational Quilts by Jacquie Gering, Katie Pedersen
5.0
Reread the book. Sometimes it pays.
It seems a good way to be introduced to improv piecing.
At first it seemed an oxymoron: patterns for improv quilts. But Gering and Pedersen make it work. There is enough structure for the uninitiated to feel secure enough to experiment; the experimenting is personal improvisation.
Techniques are introduced, variations given, then projects using one or more of the variations. When a project uses techniques from other sections of the book, there is adequate cross referencing.
Good for beginners and there are enough hints that someone already improvising would find something new as well.
