Okay, so here's a quick outline for our Modern Mini Quilt Challenge
Size: minimum 6" x 6" to maximum 24" x 24" - doesn't have to be square
Design: Modern (your interpretation), challenge yourself with a new technique. You may combine this with your Starry Night mini, but you don't have to, it is up to you.
It must be finished. It can be a mug rug, a pillow, a mini wall quilt, etc.
Pat is donating a charm pack and Bonnie is donating 2 glass buttons to the "viewers choice".
Guidelines: Have some fun!
Completion date: July 7, 2013
