Inspired by both a gifted collection of Newfoundland themed fabric and Jen Kingwell’s Daylesford quilt pattern, Cheryl Arkison takes on the improvisational challenge of designing a quilt as she makes it. Yet, it is all precision pieced.

With stacks of coloured scrap strips and a general idea, these improv log cabin blocks are creating a very bold and playful quilt. The perfect antidote to some rainy days.

Cheryl Arkison talks about the latest two quilts on her design wall. They might look very different, but are they? It all comes down to how you define improv.

Here is the rainbow version of Cheryl Arkison’s Quilters’ Playcation Adventure Sewalong. Each block is a different set of fabrics, each row is a different colour.

This is the 2 tone version of the Quilters’ Playcation Adventure Sewalong 2026 blocks. It really showcases the simple and bold block designs by Cheryl Arkison.
