Bonnie Hunter's mystery quilts have 100's if not 1000's of small pieces to them and I would not recommend her mystery quilts to a first timer. Just my humble opinion. I believe Connecting Threads may have another mystery quilt going on.

michelleoc you can do a search to find plenty of them. There is a mystery train ride on this board that is a lot of fun and plenty of support. McCalls quilting & Merry Mayhem also does mystery quilts. I completed one for both online mysteries with others from this board and they were simple enough and fun to do. Choosing colors can be a challenge at times but.... you have to go with your instincts.

Bonnie Hunter posted on Facebook today that she will be giving the yardage and colors for her next Mystery (which starts the day after Thanksgiving) on October 15.
