Both of you will have a great time and will have exciting, colorful quilts as an extra. I've attended dozens of Mystery Quilt/Classes/Retreats/get-to-gethers/Bee Play Dates and have always had a great time. In fact, I've taught six or seven mysteries and still had a great time! I discovered early that if I wasn't sure what fabric I needed. I used Christmas or Patriotic or Summer or Autumn fabrics and was never disappointed. I just signed up for a Mystery Class taught by a quilting student of mine who might very well surpass her instructor. The class is Friday, Oct. 28 at our guild's Late Nighter.

I wanted to choose from my stash, I found a dark blue with a gold filigree pattern. The gold filigree happened to match a gold fabric in my stash and the filigree was also on an off white that I'm using for background-talk about luck! Also, we received "do ahead" cutting and sewing instructions for this 65" x 80" quilt, so I'm sure we'll finish it in one session.

Tell you what, when mine is finished, I'll show you mine....if, when yours is finished, you'll show me yours! Belles

I am jealous, it does sound like so much fun!!! I'd love to see a photo of your and your friends fabric choices, too.
Too bad you can't lead the rest of us on the same mystery challenge due to the copywrite thing. :(

It sounds interesting and a lot of fun - go for it.

It does sound fun. Kind of like a really little mystery class. lol.

We'll all be watching this! Enjoy.

Good luck! I've never heard of mystery quilts before. Please do keep us posted!

Sounds like it will be fun! A gal who works where I frequently shop told me the store owner did something like that with the gals who work in the store...in order to finish her design of a pattern. It was kind of an experiment to see if her instructions were written clearly for people of various sewing skill levels to follow. They had a lot of fun with it and I am sure you will, as well! Be sure to let us know how it goes!!!

Have fun!!! Let us see your mystery project!

That sounds like so much fun. Keep up up-dated, please. :thumbup:

Very intriguing.(sp?) I've seen mystery quilts in monthly installments in Quilter's Newsletter Mag. but not heard of a mystery project before.
Did you have to buy the fabric at the store where she works? Does she want to display them in the store when you are finished?
Was this a challenge for both of you to gain confidence in selecting fabrics on your own?
Post pictures; fabric selection and then project when finished. Very interesting indeed.

For those interested ... here's an online mystery for tomorrow/Sunday that someone posted .....
