How Controlled Improv works

If you've made traditional quilt patterns, this one will feel a little different, in the best way. Controlled Improv patterns don't include a placement chart telling you where to put each color or block. You won't find "Fabric 3 goes here."

What you do get is a plan you can trust: clear cutting instructions, step-by-step block construction, and guidance on choosing colors and balancing lights and darks so your quilt flows. Then you get to play. You decide where each piece lands, and your quilt ends up uniquely yours.

If improv makes you a little nervous, you're in good company, and you don't have to figure it out alone. In HIVE+, you can get color and layout feedback from me, join a monthly LIVE where we practice controlled improv design together, and work through full companion courses for select patterns. You'll also get free shipping on every Jittery Wings order, all with a whole hive of color-loving quilters cheering you on. No quilt police, just process over perfection. 🐝

This fat quarter friendly pattern uses the entire fat quarter with no waste. It also uses the Eight-at-a-time half square triangle method to avoid bias and wonky triangles. This pattern uses my method of controlled improv: you can arrange your blocks and colors in countless ways, but the pattern will walk you through some key options.

Materials:

Baby: 12 Fat Quarters

Throw: 24 Fat Quarters

Queen: 52 Fat Quarters

Choose from solids, blenders, and small print fabrics.

Just finished cutting my fabric for the Caper Quilt. I’m loving the detailed instructions in the pattern guide. This is my first project with Jittery Wings and I’m very impressed with their design choices, fabric and delivery.

I love color and I was excited to see the pattern and bundle from Jittery Wings. The order arrived early and it was just as described. I also love the name of the shop. ❤️❤️❤️

I bought the Caper quilt pattern from Jittery Wings and received so much more. Mitzi's tutorials are extremely helpful every step of the way. I'm almost finished with this quilt and I'm looking forward to my next quilt.

I prefer written patterns and although the PDF version printed off my printer is fairly good, it would have been better for me as a paper pattern
