QM Patterns: Stars of the Improv

Designed by Theresa Eisinger. Fabrics from Northcott/Monarch and Timeless Treasures. Sewn by Mickie Swall.

Stars of the Improv is a crib-size series quilt that you can make at your leisure as the improvisational construction techniques are featured in the May/June (No. 85) and Sept/Oct (No. 87) issues of Quiltmaker. The directions for this quilt are given only on our web site but, as mentioned, you'll need these copies of the magazine for reference. To order these issues of Quiltmaker magazine as they become back issues, call 800-477-6089. (Outside the U.S. call 303-604-1464.)
