Teresa Duryea Wong demonstrated this Improv method on the PBS TV series Quilting Arts. I thought I would give it a try since I’m using up my scrap fabric.

The simple method is cutting thin strips of fabric (no ruler needed) and then sewing them together. This strip is now a piece of fabric to be cut any size you want.

The top was pieced in a Courthouse Steps pattern and quilted with stitch in the ditch method on my domestic machine.

I wanted to stretch it on a canvas so I added a wide band to cover the canvas edge.

I wrapped the quilt around the canvas and secured the band edge with staples on the back.

The back of the canvas.

I laid out the strips in a Courthouse Steps quilt pattern design.
