Has anyone joined a Mystery BOM club?
Only to find out that the blocks were very difficult to make? I finally gave up and now when they come in the mail I toss them in a basket. I wonder if that is why they are called Mystery? Because they are so dang hard that no one would do them if they saw the blocks.

where did you talk the mystery? If you took it somewhere near you ask for help. If not ask here they are very good with helping people. Or go to your local quilt shope and ask for help they are pretty good about helping quilters with any of your quilting.

I haven't done any mystery quilts, possibly because I want to know what I'm making before I start it. It may not turn out the way I envisioned it at first, but at least I know where I think I'm headed. That said, I think one of the best reasons to do a mystery quilt, or any other BOM/quilt-along, is to be challenged each month to learn something new, step outside your boundaries, do something you wouldn't ordinarily do. And what's incredibly hard the first time will be easier the next time, and still easier the next, and finally it will become part of your skill set.

I did one mystery quilt online. I am not crazy about them because I too want to know what I am making so then I can truly make the right fabric choice! I won't do one again.

I love the mystery quilt online here. Others i am leery of due to support. Here was the besst one. It was like having having everyone in my studio talking and sewing.

I did one mystery quilt and really enjoyed it. The instructions were published every Friday for about six weeks. Now I am doing a mystery BOM that is hand appliqué. I had to learn how to appliqué by hand. I found that I really like the hand work. I hope you can learn to do your mystery blocks and that you will enjoy doing them.

I've done numerous (free) mysteries (QOV runs them fairly often) & for the most part, I like them. But, they're hard for me to do because I'm super obsessive about my fabrics syncing up. But I find that they usually are pretty good about giving suggestions.
