Improv

Many photoquilts are created with an initial plan in mind. For example, I knew how many photos I would need and which way to cut the pieces before I began every photoquilt in the Ohio Stars series. To make the improvistional photoquilts below, I took the opposite approach; I began cutting pieces of photos and sewing them together which slowly revealed how they would come together in a final form. This approach requires decisions to be made almost constantly, which is an interesting challenge.
