I made one about 10 years ago at an all day class. Actually the two teachers told us we would finish the top in one day !!! Ha..! Midway through the class they realized that we wouldn't finish a top and told us to just keep following directions until we made one block !! We'd spent so much time on making so many blocks at the same time that when they changed the instructions to making just one block I was one of the few that got one done!!!! . I'd been fortunate enough to have fabric on hand that I could use...3 colors needed.... and didn't have to buy more. But I was so glad that I hadn't bought fabric because after I'd finished with all the blocks I really did not like the top at all and gave it to a local charity project. I'm one of those that would rather know in advance exactly what I'm making. Mary

I've been busy googling for Mystery Quilts.... and I've found several that are out there at no cost. But how do you know which are "good ones"?
I've never done one.... but I'm assuming that what makes one "good" first and foremost is clear, consise, accurate instructions (since you really don't know where you are going!!)
Do any of you have experience with Mystery Quilts? Are there any out there free on the web that you have done -- and have found fun to do?
I'm open for your suggestions!
Thanks in advance!!!
