Free Improv Block Ideas to Inspire Your Next Project

If you want to make your own improv quilt but you’re not sure where to start, I’ve put together the improv prompts that I used to make my Quarantine Improv Quilt. You may want to start out reading how I approach improv quilting before you make your blocks.

Here is a list of prompts I used. The goal should be to include the shape/unit in your block in whatever way you want. You can make the entire block from the prompt, or you can add just a single prompt inspired unit to your block. Just remember to have fun and try not to have too much of a plan when you start!

1. Half Square Triangles
2. Stripes
3. Log Cabin/ Courthouse
4. Squares
5. X/ Plus
6. Curves/ Drunkard’s Path
7. Grid
8. Triangles/ Flying Geese

I can’t wait to see what you make! Share your blocks and quilts on Instagram and use the hashtags #quiltfortco and #quiltfortimprov.
