Quilt Improv - Lucie Summers

From Lucie Summers, Quilt Improv is a paperback quilting book that takes everyday objects as the starting point for 12 contemporary quilt blocks. Designed to encourage a more interpretive approach to print, pattern and shape, it shows how each block can be developed into an original quilt and adapted to suit your own style. Alongside the creative inspiration, the book explores a range of techniques aimed at achieving polished, professional-looking results.

Across 128 pages, you’ll find guidance on methods including square piecing, basket weave, half-square triangles, chevrons, quarter circles and portholes. It also features unusual and innovative approaches, including the author’s award-winning ‘porthole’ technique, making it a considered choice for quilters looking to experiment with modern design ideas and improvisational construction.
