Thank you :)

I created “carnival” this weekend. Just playing around more with Gelato ombré by maywood studios.. next piece will be more inline with my SST style. #art #improvquilt #madewithmaywood #thekingslacker

Here’s a what I created this past weekend. Believe or not this is improv as I started with 4 x 18 inch squares of Gelato Ombré from Maywood studios. Then I “Stacked and Whacked” them then arranged them.. #improvquilt #thekingslacker #madewithmaywood #modernquilt

Looking forward to see what you come up with.

I’m going to finish quilting it then I’ll probably working on quilting some of my older tops. I have greatly more tops than finished quilts. I’m also going to start practicing more on my Bernina Q20 sit down . I bought a few years ago and haven’t really used it.

Thank you so much.

Thank you.

We’ll see how I feel about when I get through most of quilting and before I do my signature on the front then I decide the final orientation of it. :)

Thanks, i figured that I should post my works from the past to this platform

So I finished the top and decided rotate it. It roughly 80 x 94 inches.. #improvquilting #thekingslacker #modernquilting

I created this back in 2023, it called “Descent into Chaos”. #thekingslacker #improvquilt #modernquilt

I started with a base image that I “designed” in ChatGpt. Then just let me improv brain takeover.

Flashback.. this one of my first quilt tops called “Focus” that I created back in early 2016. It’s the Floating Square prompt from @sherrilynnwood.bsky.social book “The Improv Handbook for Modern Quilters”. It was one of my kick start into improv quilting #improvquilt #improvquilter

Looks very interesting.. I've put my meta activity on pause for the forseeable future.

That’s amazing. Beautiful work

I’ve created a Feed called “Improv Quilts” that should display bluesky posts from the past 7 daysrelated to improv quilts if the post mentions “improv quilt” or a couple hashtags related to improv quilting

I’m going to start by tracing the black lines with black thread. I will using matching top and bottom thread. I was also match thread to the top fabric so the piece will stay Vibrant.

Your book helped me get started down my improv quilting journey. Thanks you. I’m also working to shift social media platforms.

Love this.. beatiful work!

This is an improv quilt top that I created in 2017.. it’s called “Love and Loss”. #improvquilt #modernquilts #QuiltArt #FiberArt #ImprovisationalQuilting #ModernQuilting #GeometricDesign #TextileArt #ContemporaryArt #BlueskyQuilts #AbstractArt #VibrantDesign #ArtInProgress #TheKingSlacker

latest.. the top is almost complete. Debating whether or not to add about 6 inches to the right 3rd so that the black dot will be the center or leave as it is. My concern is that adding to the right might be obvious that I had to do that since there would be a top to bottom seam for a narrow chunk

Our minds is our biggest obstacle beside circles and Y seams… LOL
