When I first stumbled on Bonnie Hunter I had never done a mystery quilt, but she had just finished Carolina Crossroads. So, I saw it, loved it and made one in just her colors. I've done all of her mysteries and never been disappointed - I do have favorites and one I wasn't wild for, but it taught me something, so that's fine. But I was a member of another group who did mysteries and I was going to do their latest mystery, but was busy with another project. I picked my fabric and right away, the first block or so, I saw this was lame and did not start mine. Boy was I right. The plume ugliest quilt ever. So you have to look at the previous mysteries. If you like them then go for it. If not, be warned!! Bonnie has never let me down.
