Improv Paper Piecing with Amy Friend

Local modern quilter and long-time friend of Proper Bostonian Quilters, Amy Friend came and gave a trunk show on September 26, based on her book, Improv Paper Piecing.

Then on October 20, Amy came back and did a workshop based on the same book. The quilters attending the workshop created their own improv quilt blocks. Amy did bring some open templates which could be used as a starting point, or folks were free to totally design their own.

Amy gave the group some very helpful tips on how to paper piece while saving fabric! It was a great workshop.

Some of the blocks created are shown above.

Below is a photo of Amy at her trunk show.
