Modern Mini Challenge!

This is something quite fantastic.  Jennifer who blogs at Ellison Lane Quilts is hosting a Modern Mini Challenge.  It all starts on Monday with a blog hop for inspiration.  I already have an idea, I just have to pick my fabric!  I am really super excited about this because I haven't really made a mini quilt before.  I have made doll quilts but not minis.  I have to confess that I am not just excited about making the quilt, I am soooooooo excited about the prizes.  You just have to check Jennifer's blog because The Fat Quarter shop is giving amazing prizes for this.  It just makes me giggle to think about it.  I totally encourage you to think about taking part in this because it sounds like a whole pile of fun!



This is what Jennifer has to say about the challenge...
"The Modern Mini Challenge is a 5 week series that kicks off with some seriously inspiring work from some super talented bloggers. Spark your creativity with ideas and inspiration from some amazing mini quilts and mug rugs. 

Get ideas flowing for color, fabric, technique and style. This is your opportunity to try something new, something fun, something on a small scale. 

Take that big idea and give it a try in mini form. 

So here’s how it will work: 

2/6/12 - 2/19/12
