One of my first quilts had lots of pinwheels....it was then and there that I decided that I really hate doing pinwheels. So when I look for a pattern, I make sure there aren't any or I keep looking :lol: I really like doing new things, so most times, unless it is a charity quilt, I will do something new for every quilt. A bargello is my next one and I have 6 fabrics to get yet and I am very excited to get started. I had to try a table runner to make sure it wasn't out of my skills range. So much easier than it looks. I guess my advice is to keep trying new techniques and new patterns. Some of the easiest ones look awesome when done!
