I don’t do mystery quilts any longer either but it is because I have such a long list of quilts I really want to make. Several years ago when I still loved McCall’s quilting magazine they had a quilt that took most of the year to do. It did let us see what the finished quilt would look like when finished. I couldn’t wait for the next issue. McCall’s has never been the same. It is now about the size of a comic book. Sad
