Modern Mini Mystery Round Robin Reveal

modernminimysteryroundrobin2013

It’s the Modern Mini Mystery Round Robin REVEAL DAY!!

(It took me a while to find all these pics from previous months)

Thanks to Michele for HOSTING it!!

I’ll be linking up with many others today.

Here’s my starter block. It’s the reverse of one block from the winding ways quilt for Quilt it today.

P1020235

This is the 2nd month (though it looks like a 3rd border, so maybe I missed something??)

P1020511

I never have much brown fabrics, so this took a while to find scraps to match (sort of)

I added a 2 railed border and four patch in the corners

P1020512

The next month I got this one.

It really got me thinking outside the BOX!

March 003

I had recently gotten my embroidery machine, so I got the idea for fish and starfish and got these from EQ Stitch (modified slightly)

P1020973P1020976

Cut out and trimmer they were not 100% flat, but once they were sewn into the quilt, it was fine

P1020977

Here’s the border, I thought a solid looked nice

P1020978

Then I got this one the next month

P1030380

I wanted something to frame it and have it lay flat so I found a nice batik and then solid black strips

P1030381

AND then I got MINE back!!

How FUN and funky!!

My daughter thought it looked GOTH. lol

I found some red and white HST blocks

and started auditioning them for the quilt

Did I want triangles on the top and bottom only like flying geese

june 377

Or all the way around?

june 378

Or pinwheel blocks?

june 379

I picked pinwheels on the top and bottom on opposite sides

june 383

I quilted with white thread and just did a simple meandering

Here’s the binding attached to the front

A few close ups

july 158

I used a red dotted fabric for the backing.

july 159

It was a fun Round Robin!

I really enjoy thinking outside the box each month when I’d get a squishy package in the mail and had to think about WHAT to add to it.

(Or how to fix certain things or have it lay flat- sorry)

If Michele hosts another one I’ll jump on board again…..

Let me know too if you worked on mine too  Smile

  1. It turned out great and Yes I'll be hosting another round robin sometime in the future. You'll have to follow along (I know you already to) to see the announcement.

    I love what you added! It's so amazing to watch them grow, row by row! Aren't the ones that make us stretch and learn something new, or think outside the box the best??! Jealous that you finished yours already!

  3. That seems like alot of fun. I would like to join a round robin if someone hosts again too!

  4. Yours was the first one I got, so I can't believe how different it is! It looks great. I can't believe you finished it already too. It is so neat to see what everyone does with them.

    Love the winding ways block with the black and red. I think the pinwheels are to happy to be goth 🙂 What fun!

  6. This one was fun to work on – I have to admit I am not a big fan of red and black so it was a little tough to figure out what I wanted to do, but I think the border (#2) helped add a bit of spin to the center. I am happy to see someone mimicked that on the outer border and you finished it off awesomely! Great finish and I loved beiong part of your group!

  7. I have participated in round robins and have always been challenged and had fun while doing it. I love how your winding ways quilt turned out!

  8. Wow! I adore how your's turned out, and I'm not just saying that since I'm partial to black, red and white! What a stunner!

  9. What a great piece you got back! And you've completed it as a quilt!! Fantastic.
