the mystery quilts i have seen/participated in have all stated what (experience level) they are geared toward- they have also had (help available) if you signed up for one that is a bit (over your head) often you can contact the host & ask for guidance---they will help you- there are designers who tend to create quilts for very advanced quilters- i (tried) to do one once that was way above my skill level at the time- when i contacted them & started asking questions i was told---maybe it would be better for you to set you kits aside & learn these techniques first---then when you have more experience come back to them- it took me a couple years but i did manage to learn the techniques and go back & make the quilt-
it never hurts to ask for help & if it is just something way outside of your experience level set it aside & start with something simpler to learn the techniques first- sometimes the patterns are just not written well- once you understand the way it's written it may 'click'
no---mystery quilts are not always difficult- some are actually quite easy- designed for a beginner quilters- don't give up on all mystery quilts because of one-
but contact them & ask for some help/guidance- or ask for specific help here- or set it aside & learn the techniques- then go back to it...you have options
