I completed my first improv quilt and it holds special meaning for me. I've titled it "There Was That Year." I was inspired to create a memory quilt after reading the Colette Book Club selection for January (read more about that here). I didn't really feel drawn to the type of quilt created in the book, so I decided to use the February Challenge for Mighty Lucky Quilting Club from Lucky Spool as my opportunity to try some improvisational quilting and create the memory quilt. Although I have plenty to learn about quilting and improv, I am really happy with what came together. Keep reading to find out more about the Mighty Lucky Quilting Club and the significance (to me) of this piece, and at the end I've embed a video with further explanation.
