    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'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.

    And don't forget to keep an eye out for QB's own PaintmeJudy. Her mysteries are fun.

    This is the link for the Facebook Group Mystery Quilts Anonymous. https://www.facebook.com/groups/460909094374306/
    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.
