It was nice to have the freedom to make the blocks whatever size we wanted. Then a challenge at the end to make them all fit together. I have done a little bit of improv piecing before but this qal gave the opportunity to really get creative with just a few guidelines.
This is the quilt back.  I had this fabric in my stash.  It was in two pieces so I added a green strip to make it long enough.   
I did improv quilting too.  Most of the quilting is regular machine stitching.  I also included some Big Stitch hand quilting.  I have been wanting to do that and this was my opportunity.   There is some Sashiko stitching on some of the blocks.
