Description
Forget step-by-step instructions and copycat designs. In The Improv Handbook for Modern Quilters, artist Sherri Lynn Wood presents a flexible approach to quilting that breaks free of old paradigms.
Instead of traditional instructions, Sherri Lynn Wood presents 10 frameworks (or scores) that create a guiding, but not limiting, structure. To help quilters gain confidence, she also offers detailed lessons for stitching techniques key to improvisation, design and spontaneity exercises, and lessons on color.
Every quilt made from one of Woods scores will have common threads, but each one will look different because it reflects the makers unique interpretation. Featured throughout the book are Woods own quilts and a gallery of contributor works chosen from among the hundreds submitted when she invited volunteers to test her scores during the making of this groundbreaking work.
Wood offers a series of techniques, guidelines and lessons on color choice for those ready to explore improvisational quilting. Her book is loaded with full-color photos and examples to inspire. Dallas Morning News
