What Quilt Scares You?

Is there a quilt you would love to make but it puts your stomach in knots to
think about making it? What would this terrifying quilt be and what about it
makes you tremble?
Mine is the Dahlia. Its the picking of the fabrics that has me worried. In
the book I have there are a couple of examples of color ways given. I hate
all of them. But they do point out the importance of picking good contrast
and coordinating patterns. This would be the best time to use a scanner to
take the diagram of the quilt to be able to preview fabrics in it. Its on my
to do list, right under long nap.
Ok..spill... lets see if there are lots of people intimidated by the same
quilts.

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.

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!

Lets hope the baby make a gentle entry into the world.
Will you make a DWR even though it is scary?

I'm doing a paper pieced version of the DWR, at the McCall's website. Very,
very easy.

Very intersting. And did you find that the arcs fit the curves without a
fight?
