Improv Handbook Test Quilter Blog Hop
The Improv Handbook For Modern Quilters by Sherri Lynn Wood, photo by Sara Remmington
Over 250 people signed on to test quilt the ten scores for The Improv Handbook For Modern Quilters - without visual references. There were 165 quilts completed and submitted for inclusion into the book.
Only 22 of the test quilts were published in the book, but all 165 of the test quilts can be viewed in the online test quilt galleries linked below. I hope you agree that all of them are worthy examples of the scores, each in their own way.
Score for Floating Squares
Score for Strings Gallery
Score for Improv Round Robin Gallery
Score for Patchwork Doodle Gallery
Score for Modern Block Improv Gallery
Score for Rhythmic Grid Gallery
Score for Layered Curves Gallery
Score for Bias Strip Petals Gallery
Score for Get Your Curve On Gallery
Score for Showing Up Gallery
The efforts and feedback of the test quilters significantly shaped the ten scores, or flexible patterns, featured in The Improv Handbook For Modern Quilters. As you view the galleries, may you feel inspired and encouraged to know that there are an infinite number of interpretations for every score.
