I did buy her fabric, because as a newbie I have no stash. I liked the ides it was only 1 BOM, so I wouldn't feel rushed.

Hmm, I like Pat Sloan so I'll have to take a look at this. Thanks for the idea!

I am doing it.

I've started aBOM but usually get bored before the quilt is half finished. Plus I'm not a mystery buff, I want to know I will like it before I spend a lot of money I'll end up hating.

I did the Pat Sloan BOM through my LQS last year--I do like her directions. I also am about to finish Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilt from last year--need the borders only. And frankly--it wiped me out! One of the blocks has 52 pieces! I tend more toward modern quilt, but wanted to do this one so I could do a scrappy quilt other than string quilts. Now I'm not so sure I want to do her current mystery quilt--looks pretty involved and I'm having a hard time "seeing" the colors. Think I agree with a few of you--I'm not real confident about my mystery quilts!

But I might check out Pat Sloan's BOM.

Was there a problem with her mystery quit? This summer I took the Marcus Brother's sew along. I didn't buy the kit I just used what I had. It was fun.

Has anyone found all of the fabrics at any particular shop online? I've looked at a couple places and each one only has a few. Then I would have to pay several shipping charges :(

I have started Bonnie Hunter's Grand Illusion Mystery Quilt. I am not sure I'll ever get it done. I've fallen behind during the holidays. Pat Sloan's BOM sounds like it might be slower paced and doable for me. I think I'll try it.

I wish I could make myself do a mystery, I just have sooooo many quilts I KNOW I want to do taking the time and resources to do a mystery I may or may not like is not in the cards for me. But I do love lurking on the mystery sites.
