I am with you...not sure I like mystery quilts at all. I plan ahead and I guess it is because I've been a nurse for more than 50 years and learned that I must do so. I get very anxious when I don't know what the next step is and if I waste my time on something that I don't even really like the pattern, colors etc. I get very upset. I wait for the final clue to see if I even like the quilt before I waste my time and fabric on something that I wouldn't even let my dog (if I had one) sleep on. Not referring to this mystery quilt but the idea in general. I know that there must be some others out there that feel the same way.
