Improv Quilt Project hosted by Chery Arkison, Halfway Point

Getting this photograph turned out to be a bit an adventure. We just had a 2 day snow storm and the drifts are deep. I thought the dogs had packed enough of the snow down for me to reach the clothes line on the fence. Well, I got there, but my boot sank down, with the snow coming up to my knee. But, I got a daylight picture!

This is the first 15 of 30 blocks in the Quilters Playcation Adventure Sew Along 2026 hosted by Cheryl Arkison. Thirty blocks in 30 days. Lots of improv piecing and a smidgen of precision piecing. Cheryl’s favorite block tend to be improv and feature one curve, or more!

Two more weeks to go to complete the project!

You can see other folks blocks on Instagram with the hashtag #qpas2026.

Improv Quilt Project hosted by Cheryl Arkison

I haven’t been doing any quilting for a while now, but this year Cheryl Arkison is hosting a 30 day 30 block Quilters Playcation Adventure Sew Along 2026 from mid January to mid February. So I jumped on board. Here are the first 10 blocks which make up the first 2 rows.

The star fabric and some of the yellows and greens were purchased as a set I curated myself years ago. Intermittently I’ve pulled out the set, didn’t know what to do with it, but still loved it. This year it had just the amount of yardage of the feature fabric I needed for this Sew Along. I always thought it would be a Christmas quilt. But as it is all stars, it’s perfect for sewing during Epiphany
