The improv top is coming together. I am thinking about calling it "There's always two sides..." Just because...
It was intended as a lap quilt, a gift for somebody who will be 40 next year. So there is 40 strips or candles lined up. Then I decided to add the solid squares. And at some point I figured out it was the new wall quilt for the dining room I had been wanting for a long time. All that pretty aqua and a bit of sunny yellow:
I am going to add some white both to the top and bottom to complete the design and make it a good length for the wall. The finished size will be 60" * 85". All the white will look nice quilted with straight lines, something like this.
There is still enough time to make the gift. I have a finished quilt top that might work. Or I could go back to one of the two patterns that was a mixed inspiration for this improv top. I like them both...

This is a very interesting quilt - very different! Love the colors and your quilting plan will be awesome. I think that will really finish it well - I've fallen in love with that style of quilting lately. The quilt top looks great on your wall already!
