I'm ready to start work on my next large quilt project, which will be an embroidered linen quilt. I have to iron this pile of scrap linen this weekend, and finally decide on what patchwork design I want to use for the quilt top before I begin cutting and piecing. I did some sketches, and looked through a ton of block patchwork patterns, but nothing planned feels right to me. I might instead improvise the patchwork as I did with the first linen quilt I made.
I've been looking through my photo archives from 2018 to see how I did the improvised patchwork. I seems like I just cobbled different size rectangles and strips of different colors together.
This is what the quilt top looked like back then. I like the look, but I want to refine my process. Since I have a lot of linen I might go bigger, too. So thinking some more.

I really liked that 'cobbled' look though. It was free and artistic. Sometimes that makes for a cozier, prettier look than a structured top, but that's me.
