The holiday season has seemed even busier than usual this year, which has really limited my time in the sewing room. For the past month, almost all of my quilting time has been focused on a single project, and now my Improv Alphabet quilt top is complete!
Improv Alphabet, 53.25" x 55.75"
My alphabet quilt was started in a workshop called "Outspoken" with Elaine Poplin of Huntsville, AL. We learned Elaine's techniques for making scrappy improv letters. Below is one of Elaine's quilts that includes letters.
Be Strong by Elaine Poplin
Some people were making letters for specific phrases, but I decided to make the whole alphabet, using bright colors on a background of scrappy black and dark grey fabrics. I added chunks of bright-on-black prints for the outer border to finish it off.

This is probably my last finish for 2025, but who knows what I might get done between now and the end of the year. I've been thinking about quilting plans for the new year, including UFOs for our guild challenge and which quilts I hope to finish for an upcoming show. There's always plenty to keep me busy around here.
