This was the first Mystery Quilt I ever pieced. It was a New Year's Eve Challenge where you got one set of directions every hour for 24 hours, with the goal being to have the entire top completed in time to ring in the new year. I actually did two of them in different colors at the same timeFor different reasons, I didn't like the way they turned out, so I could never bring myself to pay to have them quilted.

After hiding in one box or another for well over ten years, last week, I finally decided my "ugly" quilts would be perfect for teaching myself to FMQ.

This is the first of the two. I like the simple backing I quickly stitched up out of my scraps, so I'll most likely use it "wrong" side up, lol. Most of all, it feels so good to finally have it out of my way!
