Into the unknown I go.
Michele of Quilts From My Crayon Box blog is hosting a Modern Mini Mystery Round Robin. I've always felt drawn to try a round robin but the quilts were always bed sized. That's a size that doesn't interest me. So when I saw Michele had thunk up a small scale wall quilt, I jumped in.
I only have until the 18th to come up with my center block. I'm not a fast thinker upper so I had to get started immediately. Good thing cause I made rejects!
First reject block is this one...
I like the block, but I decided it was too busy for this project. It most likely will soon be a fun potholder.
My next reject block is this one...
These are four 3" log cabin blocks. (They aren't actually sewn together yet) I liked them and thought I'd make some more with mixed colors. That plan didn't go so well so I moved onward.
This is the next block I tried...
This one could be fun to play with. It could have more colors added or it could even go in a Fall or even a Halloween direction. But I'm still not quite happy with the simplicity of it to be my focal point.
This is the block I've decided on...
A bit dull and boring looking here all by itself, but I actually have a plan for it when it comes back to me in December. Well, of course depending on what my border partners add to it. Possibly their border decisions will change my plan in the end. I'll just have to wait and see.
I do love a good mystery.....
Annie
