Improv quilting is all about embracing the unexpected, playing with colors and patterns, and letting your intuition guide you. Whether you're a seasoned quilter or just starting, remember that there are no rules—only endless possibilities. So, gather your fabric scraps, lock up your rulers, trust your instincts, and let your imagination run wild.

Happy quilting!
