Improv Quilting by Irene Roderick

Improv Quilting by Irene Roderick is an inspiring guide for quilters who are ready to trust their instincts and create something entirely their own. Whether you’re just starting out or have years of experience, this book offers a refreshing take on design that puts play and experimentation at the center.

With 176 pages of instruction, tips, and mindset shifts, Irene shares a process that helps you quiet the inner critic and embrace the unexpected. You’ll learn how to work without a plan, build confidence in your choices, and develop a unique visual language rooted in your personal style.

At Glass City Quilt Co., we love how improv celebrates every scrap. This book pairs beautifully with our reclaimed fabric packs, string scraps, or any stash you want to breathe new life into. No templates, no stress—just you, your fabric, and the freedom to make something meaningful.
