My theory is that a quilt ultimately will become what it is meant to be. My favorite quilt is one that ended up with 5 major changes from the original plan to its completion, and the changes made for a much better quilt and more interesting than it would have been without those changes. -- soparkaveataoldotcomElleenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5477364673330685923.post-7871727519382808462015-05-17T21:04:13.026-07:002015-05-17T21:04:13.026-07:00I have done some improv piecing and so far have se...I have done some improv piecing and so far have several finished quilt tops and one finished quilt using improvisational or liberated techinques.
