Improv vibe ✅
Scrappy ✅
Maths sorted ✅
A Sunday afternoon's “I need to make something NOW” improv session all started with a quilt idea from missmake and a FQ bundle of Unruly Nature by @jenhewett.
I began making up 16-patch blocks, adding in a few blending fabrics and a few strategically placed smaller 36-patch blocks to bump up the scrappy improv vibe. After a couple of days, it started to look a whole lot more exciting ...
Oh, and just before I finish... thanks for all the feedback & +ve encouragement regarding my last post about my GT&SB quilt. I'm now joining up all the sections and it's looking super too - I’ll save the glamour shots until it's quilted!

It looks great Linda! Love it.
In this case having the precut bundle ready to go helped jump start the project - color mix already established rather than rummaging about trying to develop one on your own. This will be lovely!!!
I love those colors together. I always enjoy your blog posts. Belated Happy New Year!

The little patches kind of catch your eye...fun! How are you pressing the seams -- each row one way, or alternating every patch?
This is so pretty - what a great idea to add in the smaller pieces. The colors and palette are wonderful.
Pre-cuts can be a great time saver if we just want get on quickly, also one patch is a quick make.
Mixing 36-patch with 16-patch blocks adds sparkle. Your random placement looks lovely. Mine rarely work out but you inspire me to try again. Congrats on a quick and pretty top.
I definitively like the random placement of blocks. What a lovely fabric range.
Really pretty! How great that you could just sew this up, like it's no big deal, and took no time at all. You have some nice scraps to work with, and you pulled them together well.
