More Blocks from 52 Weeks of Improv Blocks with Cheryl Arkison

by Judy Tucker


Here are some more of my improv block from Cheryl Arkison’s year long Quilters Playcation Adventure Sew Along on Instagram. #qpadventuresewalong

These are all blocks with water themes.

The block above is 31/52. The inspiration for this block was a glacier in a mountain pass. Initially I sewed patterned strips all the way to the top of the block. But when I saw someone else’s block which clearly had a sky over the glacier I realized that made a much better glacier block. So, I took my block apart and added a bit of sky.

Here is Block 35/52. The inspiration Cheryl Arkison had for this block was Ripples on Water.

Block 17/52. The inspiration was a segment of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge.

And finally, here’s a link to a post about one of my favorite blocks, Sailing at Sunset.

So far I’ve shown blocks which are mostly representational. Next time I’ll share some blocks which are pure improv without a specific theme.
