Revealing!

     Thanks to Michele from Quilts From My Crayon Box for a great swap THE MOD MINI MYSTERY.  The premise is ingenious and I would join another round any time. There were several groups of 8 each.  We were charged with providing a "mod" block of a certain size which we mailed to the next participant in our group.



Here is my "mod" starter.
     As in a "normal" round robin, we were to add a border to the entry we received for the month and then send it on to the next "groupie", but here the "normal" ended!  We were limited to up only 2 inches on each side and here the LIMITS stopped!  We could decide to add up to 2 inches on all sides, 4 inches on two sides or all of it on one side. The borderer (new word) used her own fabric and what ever style she chose for each addition.  WoooHooo! The sky's (almost) the limit.
     Then there's the MYSTERY part!   We could post sneak peaks of our month's work on our blogs as long as the owner of the original block could not see it and say "Hey that's my bock". Sadly I didn't start blogging until late in the swap and even more sadly I neglected to take pictures of the works in progress. DUH!!?? (next time)
     Michele masterminded the entire show, including setting up the groups, letting us know where to send our entries each month, keeping us on time (which proved to be no easy task) and organizing our reveal.  Some of the reveals will be on her blog here.

DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!    

Here is what my humble block looks like after my groupies worked their magic!
I placed it on the gray strip so you could see the white border

    That Modern Mini Mystery is a fabulous concept and the one that came home to you is stunning -- I love how the block ended up "off-centre"! (PS I came in from Caribou Crossing blog)

    I really, really like the way this turned out. Off center is so much fun.

    You can bet there will be another Modern Mini Mystery Round Robin. The planning is already in the works. I fully expect you'll be on the list.

    Thanks for playing.

    I don't know why I did not see your quilt reveal?! Well, I'm glad to see it now. This was one of my favorite little quilts while it was visiting here with me.
