sharon i have enjoyed the two that i have done so far and of course i am working on the mccall's 3-part mystery quilt also. some of my fears with mystery quilts though is i am not a traditional pattern lover (star blocks, log cabins, etc) so i think that i may get involved in one that is centered around traditional patterns and i know i will not like it.
if it is an established site that is hosting a mystery quilt, i check them out to see what other mystery quilts they have done before and if they are traditional settings or patterns, i opt out. so far, i am having fun though but the first hint i get during a mystery quilt that it's traditional, i am baling big time.

Fabriclovr, I love love love your quilt. Looks Celtic. Sure wish I had know about that one. So please tell me where do you find the mystery quilts at please? Is this pattern still available?
