Today, I'm over at Sew In Love With Fabric, Benartex's blog, with a improvisational block tutorial (Wonky Piano Keys) for the Burlap Brights Blog Hop. If you've never tried improvisation, this is a great way to get the hang of it. Plus, you can play with these pretty textured fabrics (which look like burlap but are actually quilting cotton). I enjoyed varying up my warm vs. cool colors, and it would be so fun to make a whole quilt of these, don't you think? So many options, and it comes together quickly. I hope you enjoy the tutorial!
For a chance to win
a fat quarter bundle of the six Burlap Brights I used in my block, you can complete any or all of the following:
1. Followers of my blog can leave a comment. Just let me know how you follow (Bloglovin, Feedly, Instagram [@quiltyhabit], etc.).
2. Head over to Sew in Love with Fabric and sign up to follow their blog by email or blog reader. Then leave me a comment letting me know that you did so.
