It really is hard to find a free mystery. I am used to using small pieces there is no way around the extra yardage needed when using small pieces. I have fun w/ it and make it my own so the extra expense of the fabric amount doesn't bother me enough to quit doing it. I figure it is one quilt a year so if you average it out it really doesn't cost that much for the whole year.
I saw 6 yards of background fabric, and said "hard pass". I don't want to waste that much of my precious backgrounds on seams, which I'm assuming is the reason why it calls for so much fabric. Of course, if done non-scrappy, it wouldn't take so much. I'm always curious to see how her mysteries turn out, and who knows, maybe I'd make a non-scrappy version after collecting all the steps.
I'm too stressed of a person for her quilts, anyway, ha-ha. And it's apparently all my fault, from what I hear, LOL.
But good old fashioned, interesting mysteries are few and far between these days, it seems. I know people need to make a living, so I can't get too upset with them for charging in some way. It's hard to pay for something, if I don't know what it's going to end up being. Maybe I should try Edyta.

There is another group on Facebook called Mystery Quilts Anonymous she does a lot of mystery quilts and can choose what size she gives options and they are free. She leaves them all on there in the files so you can take a look at her past ones and she has a couple coming up.

She does a lot and it is fun to follow along with all the other posters progress, although I haven't done one of hers yet.
I've done two of Judy's here on the QB and they are great with lots of camaraderie from the other posters. I think the next one starts in January?
I did the Merry Mayhem New Years' Day quilt last year and it was fun and turned out well.
