I love doing mystery quilts. I was very apprehensive with the first one, not knowing if the colors would go. But, it really helps me get out of my little box. I've really liked the ones I have done They have been mostly done in class, so I was able to ask questions of the teacher and show her fabrics that she would be able tell me if they would work or not. I currently doing one and with mystery quilts I tend to use from my stash so I don't put out a lot of money on something I may not like. For this one,I have decided to do a scrappy quilt. Boy is that ever out of my comfort zone. As I started, it was very difficult for me to invision liking it. However, now that I am close to finished, I am very pleasantly surprised. I actually like it. Lots of different fabrics but it looks pretty good.
