New Project...
I, like, so needed another project that I just jumped in with both feet when this one presented itself! A few months ago I joined one of those interactive online groups where everyone has their own page on the group's website, and once you're a member everyone can interact with everyone else, you can post and share photos, participate in group discussions, and and join a small group within the larger group, thereby getting even more involved, and making new friends all over the world, and it's just all so very wonderful. ~8-))
Anyway, a few days ago someone started up a mystery quilt project, and since I can't resist a mystery quilt, I simply had to get involved. It's relatively short term... lasting only six weeks, with a different step each week. It's one of those so-called "Modern" quilts, which is a relatively new thing out there in Quilt Land. I have yet to discover just exactly what a "Modern Quilt" is, but the concept sounds kind of like art quilts, so my interest was piqued. The first installment was posted on Wednesday, and it was wonderfully vague, thereby giving most of the participants the vapors, because Traditional Quilters are accustomed to explicit directions in such matters as size, cutting, measurements, etc... things I just don't pay any attention to in my style of working.
Here are my ten blocks...
As my good friend, Michele, likes to say, "More will be revealed..." so stay tuned.

I love the colours! Looking forward to see how this one ends up.
Yep - no rules for modern quilts. Have you seen the definition on the MQG site? http://themodernquiltguild.com
We're very inclusive in the MQG we started here in Northern NJ - members of all ages and from thread painting to wonky, no-rulers quilts. Such fun!
You're on the right path with those units.
