Today's post is all about Improv! Hurray, my favorite category in the whole show deserves a post all to itself. There were lots of improv quilts in the other categories, but this was the highlight for me. For those who don't know, the categories were decided by the QuiltCon folks. So, one would submit quilts and not know what category they'd end up in. It made it a bit like a treasure hunt to go looking for your quilt.
Remember, these are all clickable to see more detail. Also, remember this is my take on the show and I don't have photos of every quilt. Please alert me if you notice that I've made a mistake on the attributions. Enjoy!
