I attended a workshop with Sherri Lynn Wood today from 8am until 1pm - long day.
We worked on making an improv project. Sherri Lynn likes to 'make do' using recycled garments and fabrics from your stash. I made do with a few things from my stash and pieces from my scrap bin.
Sherri talked about changing up the way you think about making a quilt.
For instance:
Change the value placement, instead of balancing the values all through the quilt, try putting all of one value together.
Change the shapes, using different kinds of shapes in different areas.
Change the sizes, use small pieces in one section and large ones in another.
Change the color, introduce an unexpected color in a section.
After the workshop, there was an Open Sew. Several of us attended and had a great time talking and working on our projects.
