WIP Wednesday 3.14.12

I think this little 6.5" paper-piece block turned out cute.  It will be the center for the Modern Mini Mystery Round Robin  In this swap each person makes a 6.5" block.  The block gets sent from place to place and each person adds another round to it.  Should be interesting.  I got the paper-pieced FREE pattern on Quilter's Cashe.  It is called "Notions" and is listed in the 5-6" block section.  Here's the link:  http://www.quilterscache.com/N/NotionsBlock.html

Here's the details of the Modern Mini so that I can remember them...  copied from Quilts From My Crayon Box Blog:

The details you ask? I'm getting to that! Okay, okay since you beg, here it is:

*You will make a 6 1/2" unfinished center block. Modern, Fresh, Fun! Brights? Only a couple of colors? A whole rainbow? Neutrals? Whatever you want! You will mail it to the 1st person on the list in your group.

*To the center you receive from someone else you will add ONLY a border, between 1" and 2" finished MAX. Each border can be a simple single fabric or it can be a mini pieced border, your choice. You could instead add (2) 1" finished borders, again your choice, but no more than 2" finished total. Your fabric additions will be minimal, likely no more than a FQ. You can purchase something that coordinates with what was already added or pull from your stash.

*You will have one month to receive the current month's mini from the previous contributor, add your part and send it on to the next person. You must be diligent on mailing on time so the next person has enough time to do her (his) part.

*Finished size of the top will be between 16 1/2" to 20". 27" to 34" (Oops! Thanks Annie for catching this little math boo-boo). Keeping this small means that it can be mailed in a padded envelope, keeping the postage costs down to a minimum (and hopefully avoiding customs for our international players).

I finished a cute littel quilt that would be great for a Pittsburgh Steelers baby.  It's a basket weave quilt.  The tute for it is at Honey Bear Lane.  I think it turned out pretty soft and fluffy.

I also finished my BINGO card for the May for Me Bingo party that will be here soon.
