Which quilt pattern intimidates you?

**clsurz** · 11-19-2012, 04:24 AM

NONE!

I don't use patterns so they don't intimidate me. I am very much a free styler and create my own.

I have been told many times though that some of my creations has "what looks like this or that" and I have no idea as to what they are talking about since I don't use pattern blocks to create things.

Paula Nadelstern's kaleidoscope quilts. It would be overwhelming just to make it through fabric selection, let alone piecing.

mariners compass but maybe if I would paper piece it I'd be ok.

I tried and tried all one summer, off and on, to make a double wedding ring using many fabrics, always in the same order. Finally I had three perfect rings and made a table runner (instead of the original goal of a queen sized bed quilt). I am also in writing groups, so wrote a piece about all this and called it "I Know When I'm Licked". The group loved my writing piece and I kept the table runner for myself instead of giving it away. But I said to myself, never again.
