Previous Improv Prompts

Kaja and I started AHIQ in 2015 as a linkup for improvisational quilts. In 2017 we issued our first invitation - simply an idea or prompt to encourage improvisation. That year we had a prompt every quarter but quickly realized that was burdensome.

Life is busy. We may not have the time or interest when an invitation is published but after percolating around our brains it frequently emerges in a wonderful way at a later date. We want everyone to feel free to work on any prompt at any time. Sometimes several merge into one quilt.

For simplicity, here are the previous invitations with links to the original post.
