I am just finish up my second one. Loved the first from the get go (because of the colors). It is mine!!! The one I am finishing is for my DD and DSL. Wasn't sure about all the colors, but now that is is almost finished it is really looking good. Everyone that has seen it just loves the colors. I really do like the pattern - it has 3 distinct patterns - you could make 3 different sided quilts out it. The colors where partially chosen by me, with a lot of help from the quilt shop. She really knows her color combinations and very willing to work with you. I think that may be part of the success of a mystery quilt.

We did one as a quilt club project, it was fun to see all the
different results due to the different fabrics used.

I like to do mystery quilts also pick from same fabric collection most of the time but once in a while it is good to use from your stash. Bonnie Hunter's mysteries are great and Billie Lauder's are so much fun. great to do with guild or friends. stretches you horizon don't like it give it to charity and you still learned something.

I've done a few mystery quilts & have had fun doing them all :D I just figure that if it ends up being something I dont like, I can always use it as a philanthropy quilt for my guild.
This top that I sent to Jan in VA for the barracks project was a mystery http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-63082-5.htm

I've read all five pages on this subject and one of the problems that is repeated often is the inability to choose fabrics when the quilt pattern is unknown. I've taught several Mystery Classes and discovered the students who were happy with their quilt (no matter the pattern) made holiday quilts (Christmas or Easter or Patriotic fabrics) or seasonal quilts (Autumn or Spring fabrics). Perhaps this may work for others. Belles

I think it's marvelous that you and your MIL sew together regularly, regardless of what you make.

My late MIL and I got together weekly too. We both belonged to the same club. We got together an additional day out of the week to craft, drive around whatever. Time, just the 2 of us. Course, during the summer I had all my kids too, so just the 5 of us. I was so happy to have that time. When my dear MIL passed away suddenly, I became eternally grateful for the time we spent together. It was high in quality and quantity.
