Would that bother anyone else? This shop also has a strip club on Sat. You show up, pay the fee and get a kit. No idea of what you will be making. All fabric is their choice.
I want to take classes, but I want to know what I will be making. Do I just have a control issue?
I wouldn't sign up for a BOM when I couldn't see the finished quilt first. Some people like mystery quilts, but for that much money and work I want some assurance that I will end up actually liking the quilt! Unless you love absolutely everything that the quilt shop displays (and I have yet to walk into that quilt shop!), I would stay away from these mystery classes. IMO, it's not a control issue at all.
