Mine I think would be the double wedding ring.
I am so drawn to that pattern and would love to due one in red & purple our favorite colors. It just looks so intimidating. Diana in Dallas (no grandbaby its due in two days on the 29th.)

Double Wedding Ring is what scares me most too, but one I would love to do.
I did make one "practice" block, and it came out "OK," but it took quite a while! Paula "Diana In Dallas" wrote in message ... Mine I think would be the double wedding ring.

Must be a personality thing. I honestly can't think of a quilt that scares
me. There are a couple that I know would bore me to tears because they'd be so slow to do (a pieced clamshell comes to mind), but it doesn't scare me. That may be because when I started quilting I was too dumb to know what was hard. Whenever I had something I couldn't do, I just made lots of practice pieces until I had that skill down, or hunted down a class to learn what I wanted. So maybe that's why quilts don't scare me -- it's not a matter of "too hard", but just "not enough skills yet; what a great opportunity to learn!" *grin* -- Kathy A.

FWIW, there are almost no set-in seams in a Mariner's Compass. It just looks
like there would be. -- Kathy A. (Woodland, CA) longarm machine quilting, Queen of Fabric Tramps http://www.kayneyquilting.com , remove the obvious to reply "Diana Curtis" wrote in message ...

There are two scary ones for me. I'd love to make a blooming 9-patch.
The fabric selection is what scares me. I've seen some that are gorgeous and others that, well... don't do much for me. It's all in the fabric selection, and I feel I'm not experienced enough to pick the right fabrics yet. I'd also love to make a mariner's compass. I'm worried about matching the points on this one. I've got a long way to go before I could make one I was happy with. But I'm confident when I have a couple of years experience or so, that I will make both of them. -- Sherri G in Kentucky http://community.webshots.com/user/sdgodfrey | Is there a quilt you would love to make but it puts your stomach in knots to | think about making it?
