    I started one .... I abandoned it partially through it... I knew I was not going to like the finished quilt.. so I did not want to spend any more time or fabric.

    I love Bonnie Hunter. I am going to try her mystery quilt. Iam so new to quilting. I have a lot of different blocks that I have tried. I did make a sisters choice small quilt. I was so proud of it. My oldest daughter just thinks it is so beautiful, she has put it in her old pie safe. it does look very nice. you know quilting keeps my mind busy and and my hands.
    Boy I have cut up a bunch of fabric I know I waste alot buttttttt I am trying as long as it looks ok to me I have fun with it maybe I will be ok I have lots of scraps if you know what I mean everyone have a real nice day and be blessed I will try to put on a picture of MY quilt I got so excited I did not put a border on itand did very little quilting which I am also learning.

    My LQS does mystery quilts and supposedly - according to them - part of the fun is seeing how people's quilts look so different from each other because of the fabric choices. Great, I guess, if you have the time and energy, but I agree with QuiltE on wanting the fabric choices set up for success.

    And I would wait to see what the final product would look like before spending my time on it, never mind my money!

    Good luck!

    I can't imagine doing a mystery quilt I'm too picky about colors and pattern

    This is a true scrappy quilt that reminds me of the old days! Great job!

    It can be a wonderful experience or so-so. If you can talk to anyone who has done a mystery before with this teacher/group. However, if it is not expensive and you can use mostly your stash you might consider it just for the comraderie of sewing with a group of friends or making new ones.

    Sophia: I am not going to copy your photo again, but just wanted to say: WOW WOW WOW! I love your quilt! Am I correct that this was the very first quilt you ever made? Wow again!

    Ditto here on the Bonnie Hunter mystery...I believe it starts on Nov. 29th.... I've made several and all in all am happy with them...one turned out to be a dud...but a finished quilt is never a waste of time. I'm also doing Linda Thielfoldt's Stashbuster mystery BOM....you can find it at the Quilted Goose blog. I'm a huge fan of Linda's...she is absolutely one of the nicest people on the planet and her quilting is the best I've seen.
