Since my goal this year is to use up scraps, I may have to do this one. I thought I saw an email that they were going to shut down planet patchwork.

OMG, I am such a sucker for mystery quilts. I have 7 or 8 quilts in progess, am losing count. But I printed the instructions just in case.

This looks interesting. I'm already planning to do a New Years Day mystery - I wonder if I'm crazy to consider doing 2?

I've never seen this mystery before. The directions seemed really clear and easy and if I understood correctly, you'll be finished the top in a day? That might be fun to do. I'm working on the Bonnie Hunter Celtic Solstice right now and there is a lot of cutting, sewing, pressing, cutting, sewing, pressing etc. Definitely not a quick mystery, so this might be a nice side track from that one.

You do finish the quilt top in a day. I can say that. New directions every hour for 6 hours and the best part is there usually is a chat that goes along with it.

I saw that email too. I did not know if they were going to have this and I'm super happy they are going to have it. I love these mysteries.

This may be a good idea. I have heard how you start the New Year is how you finish the new year. So if I could finish a quilt on the New Year perhaps I will continue finishing quilts throughout the year.

Sent you a pm. I think you need a total of 240 squares 2 7/8" and 120 of the 2 1/2" squares. If I read the directions correctly.
