Thanks so much for that how-to. I’ve got a whole lot more excited about modern quilts and improv having seen a couple of demonstrations (including yours) and tutorials, and really looking forward to seeing what I can do with these blocks.

I’m nervous about things like parking and food too (being disabled plus coeliac) which also makes me a bit nervous sometimes about going new places. WE WILL BE FINE! We will thoroughly enjoy ourselves and even if things don’t go according to plan it will work out. See you there!

Yes, please! I’d love a series of modern improv blocks!

Thank you for sharing your trip and the pictures. Brings back a lot of memories for me. There is something quite special and different too about quilting in the antipodes – I suspect it is a bit like NZ regionalist painting – the light is different, and so the way light and colour is used in quilting is quite different too.
