I have always loved the concept of a mystery quilt. My first, and only one so far, was by Debbie Caffey called Guilty as Charged. I was pleased with my colors and that was it. It was themost difficult thing I've ever done and turned into my first UFO.

I still like the idea of them. I found a couple online that were table runners that I want to try. The hardest thing for me was all the flying geese units in mine because all the triangles were cut before pieced. I like making mine with squares and rectangles as it's just easier to do it that way. I think I want to get better at piecing and become more an intermediate quilter instead of a beginner before I try another one.

Maybe, if I see that things will be flying geese units, I can make them differently instead of the hard way. I don't know.

Most of the ones I've seen are beautiful. I kept all the pattern pieces and hope to try again on it someday.
