I currently started a mystery quilt and I think the biggest surprise for me is, I don't think I like it. It definitely makes me work outside my comfort zone. It has revealed that I like control. I want to plan my quilt, know where each fabric goes, what blocks I'll use, the borders, the quilting and on and on. See, I want total control over that quilt.
I like reading mystery books and the challenge of figuring out the plot. There, that's the problem with the mystery quilt I can't figure it out ahead of time as there is not enough information. So, I'll have to trust the person who wrote the instructions, cut the beautiful fabric into triangles, which by the way would be great in a quilt I have in mind, and make this mystery a reality.
It's only fabric and time. This will be good for me. It's good to challenge yourself or at least figure yourself out. I'll keep repeating this daily and maybe it will stick.
