I think this wonderful variety is what gets us hooked: you can never get bored because there are SO many fabrics, patterns, styles, books, new tools to try, etc. Years ago I tried appliqué several times with different teachers. None of it appealed to me so I gave up on that aspect of quilting. Now, several years later, I find myself TEACHING appliqué! How amazing is that? We have different chapters in our quilting lives, and there is so much to explore and learn. Never say never!
