I've never seen this mystery before. The directions seemed really clear and easy and if I understood correctly, you'll be finished the top in a day? That might be fun to do. I'm working on the Bonnie Hunter Celtic Solstice right now and there is a lot of cutting, sewing, pressing, cutting, sewing, pressing etc. Definitely not a quick mystery, so this might be a nice side track from that one.
