In my garden the sun is changing it's shifting light. We live under a mountain (well a sort of hill with lots of tall rainforest trees), which means that in Winter our sunshine comes later in the morning and leaves earlier in the afternoon. We become a little like hibernating animals, snuggled by the fire and scuttling about the garden seeking patches of sun. 

Improv quilts sometimes meander where we haven’t quite planned, which can mean a mess that isn’t really inspiring. This can be good for the journey of learning. But a great way to help with this is to choose colours colors before you begin that help with the focus on the quilt design.
