I have been the chair person in my guild for the mystery quilt for about 4 years now and I always find my patterns on the internet. I always run my mystery quilt from October thru April. This gives the guild members a chance to sign up in September and work through it until the last clue in April. Then it gives the members from April until June to get it pieced, if they haven't been working on it from October thru April, quilted, a binding and a label. Sometimes they only get the top done and that is ok too, they can still show it at our June banquet. I like to see the different ways the quilt can look with the different choices. If you would like a few hints, send me a message and I'd be happy to share one of the patterns.
