The teacher was particularly good at explaining and demonstrating the free flow and acceptance of consequences. I realised that even though it is improvising, starting with the right materials can make a dramatic difference.

I would have liked to have seen how that piece builds into a full quilt... does one continue building on that piece? start a whole new segment?
