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. 🐝

Easy and powerful - this controlled improv method quilt pattern will stop folks in their tracks. No need to limit your color palette either. This pattern is beginner friendly and fat quarter friendly.

Pattern Cover uses Bundle No. 13, curated by Mitzie here at Jittery Wings Quilt Co. Outside the US, you can check with Cow and Giraffe to purchase that bundle.

I love this pattern I haven’t started it yet but plan to in the new year. I have a few UFO’s to finish first, but yhey have given me lots of scraps so I’m alm ste there.

Beautifully written Easy to follow. I’m currently making this quilt and am at the “piecing the blocks” stage. Making a large throw. Can’t wait!

Looks fabulous! Can’t wait to start.

Love this design! I haven't begun to make the quilt yet, but the references to 2x2 1/2 strips are confusing. I think I know what you mean, but not entirely sure. I hate to sound stupid, but maybe there's a way to clarify this? Thanks!

Try it!
