Every Fall, Amy Ellis hosts the Blogger's Quilt Festival. Lots of blogger's link up their favorite recent finishes - so it makes for a great place to find inspiration and new blogs to follow.
I always look forward to this event.
It really is amazing to see all of the lovely finishes that get shared!
I thought I would share the #improvstripes quilt I made following Debbie's (A Quilter's Table) quilt along. I wasn't sold on the quilt when I first started out, but now that it is finished, it is one of my favorite quilts.
I restricted myself to bright blues, red and a bit of bright yellow. Love those primary colors! I paired those with black, whites and a few bits of gray.
For the quilting, I used a black thread and quilted squares/lines all going in different directions.
Improv geometric quilting!

I think sticking with some basic colors makes an improve quilt "hold together."
This is an awesome quilt and the colors play well together. I surely would keep it if it were mine.
oh I'm so glad to see this! I love your choice of primary colors and your finish is really awesome! :-)
What a great improv quilt!
Great color combination
I really love this quilt.
Great quilt! I love how the quilt is random but very cohesive due to your color palette.
Beautiful quilt!
Wonderful improv quilt! I love it!
Such a bright, zingy quilt! Love how it has so much personality!
I really like this quilt. The patterned fabrics give it such zing and the variety of the stripes makes it sing.
It's such a bright and fun quilt. Isn't it funny sometimes how you can hate a project at first and then when it's finished find that you love it?
This is a fun, bright quilt. Love the color combinations you chose.
I commented when you posted this quilt on your blog. Good choice for the Blogger's Quilt Festival entry!
This is a great quilt. So colorful and love the improv.
This is one my my favorites of your quilts! It's so quirky and unique.
What a fun scrappy quilt Cynthia! Thanks for sharing.
