Modern Improv Block with Curved Piecing: Crazy Quilt made with Solid Scraps (More is More!)

Greetings All! In this video I take you with me on my journey of scrappiness and curved piecing as I make a stunning modern quilt that I call "More is More," because in Dave's Craft Room, "too much" is never enough! This project uses scraps from my Crayola Fabric (by Riley Blake) quilt "Lovely MacIntyre." (My hair looks really weird in this video 😂😂😂👨🏻)

I don't think I mention this in the video but I used an old blanket for batting; it was something I had in my craftroom and wanted to get rid of. I didn't soooper love the results but... it did the job :P

You are one of the most creative quilters I’ve come across! Innovative & Inspiring! 🤩

[lisafuller]

Dave you are so liberating! A breathe of fresh air with your creativity, good sir😊

Watching this made the improv quilt finally make sense in my head. I like to imagine the girls at the quilt shop (who comment often on my obsessed precision) watching me chuck my ruler back in my bag and just get to work. Haven't mentioned in a while how much your videos make me smile. They do, every time. ☺️❤️

Your creative mind is so un-inhibited by rules and pre-conception. That's what all artists stive for. And you've got it!!! Keep creating for as long as you can. With the best music ever!

[lindanonnenmann]

Your color choices and improv block designs really zing! But what I really love about your work is the way you assemble your blocks. There is no agonizing...you just do it and it all comes together beautifully. Great idea for making strips to fill in the cracks. Artistic and inspiring work. Loved this video!

Hands down the best musical accompaniment to a quilting video on the internet!!!

[lucillebarnes]

You're a true creator, an artist. That quilt is a work of art! Thank you ❤️

OMG I loved this. I've never colored outside the lines in my 65 years and it's something I've been wanting to do but had no idea how. So enjoyable watching you work, the process and the music was so fun. I just found you going to check out your other videos . Ty Dave ♥️

oh my god this is my favorite video I've ever seen I have never made a quilt before and have barely sewn but I have really been wanting to handsew a mini quilt and then use it to make a heating pad to give to a friend, I have been confused before about how to join up two curvy edges of paper or fabric but I can't believe it's so simple lol I'm saved!!

And I loooove the quilt, it reminds me of my habit of editing photos to use as phone wallpaper that's very More is More (like, getting obnoxious playing with rgb curves until it's high contrast and has a million colors and is unrecognizable. And it's like always unique to the image and today's milieu)

I also love the way you use language hahaha

I really enjoy your work! Also, your music selection and video editing. Very enjoyable to watch AND inspiring! 🥰

[shaneencalade]

Another amazing piece. I have learned so much watching you and you have given me insight and hope 🫣🤔 to step outside the box. I can't believe you haven't been approached by a major company to be an influencer and educator. There's so few of people like you out there doing what you do.... especially with a multi billion dollar industry. Do you sell online.... you are at the point that you could stay home and design, make and sell and make a fortune.

Love this! I’m a scrappy ‘make it up as I go’ sort of quilter, and I love your style. Thanks for the inspiration.

[poodlegirl]

Reckless abandon I would call it. Glorious.

[helend]

Fabulous. Love the music. Your best design wall creation so far. Don't stop Dave.

[renee]

One more thing… you do more in 13 minutes of film than most creators do in an hour and a half!

[nzshauna]

More is more might be my favourite of your quilts…

[lisam]

More is absolutely more, what a fantastic quilt! Just discovered your channel, I LOVE it. I love watching an artist's process and what you create is mind blowing . I'm so inspired to grab a bunch of colors and just go for it. Thanks so much, an excited new subscriber.

2:49 you crack me up - I really did lol on that one 😂💕

[kateh]

Every video I think “wow, this is my favourite” and then I watch another and go “wow etc” but I think this one really may be my fave of yours I’ve seen so far

[janinec]

OK.! This is now my favourite of your quilts apart from the jungle one.
