This book is here to change the way you think about quilting with stress-free, beginner-friendly projects that will help you create one-of-a-kind, modern improv quilts!

Discover the Magic of Improv Quilting

With improv quilting, it’s all about the process. Instead of rigid patterns and precise measurements, Shannon Leigh Roudhán and Jason Bowlsby invite you to experiment with fabric, color, and design. Their approach empowers you to create stunning quilts that break the mold. What’s the secret? By embracing imperfection, you’ll discover that your unique creations are more expressive and vibrant than ever before. This course teaches you how to develop a keen eye for design while respecting traditional quilt styles.

And don't worry—it’s not all freeform! You’ll learn to strike a perfect balance between improvisation and structure, so your creations will still nod to classic designs while being wonderfully “wonky.” No experience needed—all skill levels are welcome!

Create Modern Improv Quilts with Confidence

Scrappy Wonky Quilt Block Extravaganza breaks down the complex art of improv quilting into easy-to-follow steps. Using odd cuts, scraps, and even those small fabric pieces you thought you’d never use, you’ll learn how to turn fabric odds and ends into stunning, contemporary quilts.

Each chapter of the book builds on the last, helping you to develop your skills and confidence. You’ll start with simple block designs, and as you progress, you’ll tackle more complex concepts like curves and slash-and-insert strips. The best part? These deceptively simple techniques make it easy to create modern improv quilt blocks that have the look of carefully planned, abstract designs—without all the hassle of traditional quilting rules.

13 Beginner-Friendly Projects

The book features 13 projects that are not only beginner-friendly but also incredibly rewarding for quilters of all skill levels. Each project invites you to experiment with different block styles, allowing you to make each quilt your own by selecting your favorite fabrics and personalizing the design.

With this book, you’ll be able to create iconic quilt blocks like half-square triangles, curves, and much more, but with a fun and wonky twist. By the end of the book, you’ll have the confidence to approach any quilting project with a more creative, freeform mindset—making quilting a joyful, artistic experience.
