I too have made a mystery quilt I didn't like. The choice of colors was lights, mediums, & dark's. BUT my lights ended up being too close to the background fabrics. So they disappear into the background & they were supposed to be star points. It remains on our bed & my DH loves it. When doing a Bonnie Hunter mystery you could use a toned down version of her colors or collect all the instructions & do it after you have all the instructions. That's what I've done with her last one. I am color challenged I think.

I made this OBW a few months ago from some striped orange/pink/peach fabric I received in a swap. I didn't have enough of the fabric to make the quilt as large as I wanted, so I added some borders. When it was finished, I decided I didn't care for it after all, but couldn't put my finger on what was "wrong" with it. I finally just slapped a price on it, and took it to the craft fair along with several of my other quilts.
Guess which one sold! LOL!

There are quiet a few quilts on here that I really like! (Yes, I'm also talking to you, Wild8580! I love the autumn colours!)
I decided right when I found out what a mystery quilt are that those aren't for me! I'm picky when it comes to choosing a pattern for my quilts and there are many that just don't appeal to me somehow!
The quilt I don't like I made is the one I'm calling "Falling Waves":

That is so funny, Moonrise.......I was reading this thread and thinking it's the old Goose vs Gander thing....what one person hates, the other loves. I don't see an ugly quilt on this thread, at all.....

DH loves it. He was the one that picked out the pattern and the colors. I love the batiks. But the pattern not so.
