Rally is about the experience of being a member of a community. Individuals join together to make a group, and in turn, the group helps them to define their individuality. The quilt uses an improvisational technique to make blocks that are unique and wonky, but when assembled as a quilt top, they form a cohesive graphic shape. This is a quilt for anyone who wants to try guided improv or play with skinny strips to make wonky arrows. For variation, switch up the colors or use a scrappy background. The important thing is to let go of precision and have fun.
