Modern Improv Quilting, Project 3 -- The Vikings

by Judy Tucker


I've started to work on my third quilt using Sherri Lynn Wood's book, The Improv Handbook for Modern Quilters--A Guide to Creating, Quilting and Living Courageously.  This quilt is based on Score # 10 from the book--"Showing Up".   It an amalgam of several of the Scores in the book--it's up to each quilter to choose which Scores to use together. 

With the crenelated turrets above and the blocks comprising the castle wall shown below, I've done a riff on Score #5 "Rhythmic Grid."

The pennant flags are an element found in Score #4, "Patchwork Doodle." 

 

The patchwork sky blocks are based on Score #1 "Floating Squares".

And finally the Viking Ships at Sea are based on Score #7 "Layered Curve."

I found the great Viking fabric at JP Knit & Stitch. It's a Alexander Henry Fabric from the De Leon Design Group and is called The Vikings.  It's so much fun to work with!

I still don't know what the final quilt will look like, but I have some ideas!  I'll keep you posted on my progress!
