My Reflections On The Process of Improvisational Quilting

My analysis of the process is to think music. Listen to the electric Blues guitar of Jimi Hendricks perform Hear My Train A Comin’. (Web Link)

Problems to Solve.

  1. Fabric puckers. Because we are cutting against the grain and bias of the fabric, puckering happens. Be flexible and open to trying experimental solutions. Make it work!
  2. Angular shaped fabric after reassembling. Fabric tends to create complex shapes with angular shaped edges. Cut large sections and reassemble. Cut through triangles.
