With much excitement, I signed up for Tina\u2019s<\/a> Fabulous Improv Workshop two months ago.\"2015TsFabImprov\"<\/a>Now, after my sweet kitty lost his battle with intestinal lymphoma just a few short days ago, I feel lost myself. I\u2019m certainly in no shape to face the world, even full of dear Quilty friends.<\/p>\n

But as Miss Molly would say, \u201cI paid my money and I’m gonna finish this race!\u201d<\/p>\n

Okay then. I need to do something.
\nFirst, I must choose fabric! And I finally have enough of a stash to pull out something fun that will hopefully give me that extra boost to face the world.
\nThis is what found me: \"2015TsFabImprovA\"<\/a>Hawaiian fat quarters paired with a rainbow jelly roll of 2-12\u201d strips (bought simply because it was pretty). Kinda looks like a unicorn went on a bender… but better him than me.<\/p>\n

After a rocky start, I pulled out the jellyroll and started sewing colors together. And just as I began to loosen up and have fun, my Husqi had a hissy-fit and seized up on me.<\/p>\n

Okay then. I need to do something else.
\nAs it turned out, this little J and I became fast friends. Zip.zip.zip.
\n\"2015TsFabImprovB\"<\/a>\"2015TsFabImprovD\"<\/a>
\nFrom there, I simply sewed strips to blocks of fabric and cut things apart and made a bunch of \u2018seeds\u2019 as Tina put it. There was no plan for size yet. There were no complicated layouts. It was just, enjoy the freedom of watching fabric happen.
\n\"2015TsFabImprovC\"<\/a>At some point, I added my primary orange fabric and the blocks whispered \u2018queen-sized\u2019 in my ear. Now, I was cooking with fire! They also let me know my quilt\u2019s name. Let me introduce you to the first 3 (plus the lower left unfinished & soon to be amended) blocks of my \u201cOrange You Glad I Didn\u2019t Say\u201d Quilt.<\/p>\n
