Explore the freeing power of improvised piecing with Nicholas Ball in his first book, Inspiring Improv.

Improv piecing doesn't have to mean chaotic end results. Look to the eight original projects included to see how to create sophisticated quilts with structure focusing on repeating blocks or large scale scrappy designs. Follow along as Nicholas walks you through his original inspiration and follow his plan through to finished pieces, as he discusses which combination of his core piecing methods he used and how to achieve showstopping, exciting work.

From simple strip piecing through to complex circles and rings, you will be eager to experiment making slabs, gentle curves, insets, triangles and even 9 patch and Log Cabin stacks, and then use them as a stepping stone to sewing original full sized designs.

Nicholas Ball is an experienced quiltmaker from Cardiff, South Wales. He has contributed to blogs, magazines and sew-alongs and specialises in improvisational piecing. He is a regular instructor on The Quilting Company website and on the Quilt Monkey website. You can find him at www.quiltsfromtheattic.wordpress.com.
