Hi,

I don't like peicing in general. After 40 years quilting I like the hand quilting part the best. I love fabric so I force myself to do piecing when necessary but I pick the simplest blocks and the largest I can get away with. I also love "cheater's cloth" I have done a wall hanging of a Baltimore Alblum quilt made with cheater's cloth that even experienced quilters didn't catch on until they examined it very carefully. I have an embroidery machine and use it to fancy up my plain, large blocks. I have even used my serger to construct large blocks for my patriotic lap quilts for soldiers etc.
I guess my biggest problem is I am so aware of any mistakes I might make that I don't feel confident showing my work to other quilters. We have some in our guild that are hypercritical.
My biggest accomplishment is that I usually finish anything I start.
