Modern Improv Scrap Quilt

"I loved making this modern improv scrap quilt! I started with a Ruby Star Society scrap bag from my local quilt shop and some low-volume remnants and leftovers. I have a video tutorial and written step by step of how to go about making your own one-of-a-kind modern improv scrap quilt. No need for lots of measuring or planning. Just pick your favorite scraps and get sewing. You will be amazed at how it all comes together and how planned it ends up looking even when it isn't!"
