I have been working on a Burgoyne Surround quilt off and on for 4 years and I'm still not finished it (get frustrated and put it away). Mine was also a mystery quilt. I wished I had had the opportunity to peek ahead, because if I had I would have never started it. I have made a vow that this is the year to finish it and by the end of this summer! (I'll keep you posted).
One of the nicest and easiest quilt I have ever made was called a "Floral Fantasy". I made mine scrappy but you can make it in a "selected" colorway. It's fun and easy and the result will boost your confidence to make other types of quilts.
Don't give up......quilting can and is fun........
