Book Review - Adventures in Improv Quilts

I've been reading through a new quilting book and am excited to share it with you.   (Note this book were supplied to me by C&T Publishing.  The opinions are my own.)

Are you someone who enjoys improv quilting or wants to give it a try?  If so, you will enjoy Adventures in Improv Quilts by Cindy Grisdela.  (affiliate link)


I had the pleasure of attending a guild program earlier this year with Cindy.  She shared so many wonderful quilts during her lecture.  I took a lot of notes to capture her thoughts and insights on improv.  As I read through this book, I realize I can throw my notes away - this book lays everything out very clearly! 


Every chapter is a keeper from choosing a color palette, the basics of design, three ways to create improvisationally, and, most importantly, how do you know when it is finished.  I am really looking forward to following the guided exercises to play with color.  

If you are someone who is interested in exploring improv quilting, I highly recommend this book.  

Have a wonderful day! Patty

  4. How nice that you had the chance to review this book! It looks really appealing to me, though I don't have room for another book to add to my quilting library! These days, I'm inclined to buy e-books, and I know this title is available that way. Also, our Central Florida MQG is adding the book to its library. Yay!
