Quilts of Valor - Mystery Quilts

I will be the first to say - I LOVE Mystery Quilts.  I have never had one turn out bad yet - and if I did - you can't prove it  ( ha ha ha)  because 90% of the time - I let a Veteran choose them.  And you know - they always are loved, and there is someone for every quilt.

I say all that to tell you that a new Mystery is starting over at the Yahoo group called MysteryQuilts4Military  

The link to join this mystery is here:

https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/MysteryQuilts4Military/info

We love for everyone to join in. however we do ask that you join the group to get the patterns, and make them for yourself, not to share the patterns with others.... If they want to make them - have them join in - it's like a virtual quilting bee..

Here are a few that have been made in the past:







Pattern for all of these can be found here:

The Next Mystery starts in the Yahoo Group on the 17th of June 
So plenty of time!!
Join in - it will be fun!!!

  2. Would love to join in . .. could you send those 2 handsome young fellas of yours over to finish fencing in and planting the garden? Then I'd have more time to sew. Dolly only likes to supervise.

  16. These mystery designs are really neat! I have yet to join in on a mystery quilt--partly because I lack confidence in choosing fabrics when I know the pattern and not knowing how it will turn out really scares me, and partly because I seem to always be in the middle of another project with a timeline. If all the designs are as beautiful as these, I can see I'm really missing out!
