I love the freedom Sherri Lynn teaches in this class! I even improvised more on my 'squares' and my husband said, can you do that? and then HE started to say there are no rules. For someone who loses interest in repetitiveness or simply cannot do or dislikes perfection, this is a wonderful method! I'm just having SO MUCH FUN! Thank your Sherri Lynn for a great class! I love the other 2 you have here as well AND I bought your book. All fabulous!

I enjoyed watching her process toward the improv quilt. Very engrossing. I wouldn't have used the same colors, but she communicated the process very well to me.
