Another Sneak Peek from Improvising Tradition
I'm excited to share another project from my new book Improvising Tradition. The Ribbons Placemats are found in the Slice and Insert section of the book. This pattern shows you both how to cut and sew curves improvisationally. These are great skills to add to your toolbox of quilting techniques.
The ribbon-like flow of the curved pieces is emphasized by the quilting on the Essex linen as well as the use of ombré fabrics. All the elements combine to make a very simple design into one that is so dynamic.

I love this!!! I'm not experienced with curved piecing, but I am sure that I could do something similar with raw edges and a blanket stitch!! I hope that I can pin this to my Sew Sweet board on Pinterest!!
Great! It really is both simple and dynamic. Would be happy to receive a review copy of your book when it releases, if you'd like. =)
I really, really love these. Something about them is so inviting.
I can't wait for your book to come out, the projects you have shared are wonderful.
SO, so pretty! Love this design - I'm anxiously awaiting your book to arrive (I pre-ordered from Amazon).
These placemats are striking! You're tempting me to make another set, just so I can have these. Again, your talent just shines. Such a great job!
These placemats look amazing; ordered your book to see if I can make them. Thank you for the inspiration!
