i would rather participate in a free mystery quilt party and reduce my hoard of scraps and yardage. $12 per month sounds a little expensive, and $5 registration on top of that? you don't say how many blocks a month you will make, and will it take 10, 11 or 12 months to complete? if you can calculate how much you will spend in all, is it worth it to you? will you have a quilt when you are done, or do you still have to buy backing and batting? figure those in also. do you appreciate the fabric choices? will someone be available to answer your questions and concerns? is there extra fabric available if you make a mistake? know what you will and will not be getting.
