I enjoy both simple piecing and advanced piecing. I won't shy away from any pattern I like. I have waited to do some patterns until I found what I considered to be an easier method.
For instance, I love the Double Wedding ring. I think I bought every pattern, template, etc. trying to find the one I considered the easiest. I finally found Sew Kind of Wonderful and the pattern Metro Rings. I LOVED it so much, my quilt is now king size!
Don't let a pattern scare you out of trying it. If you're not sure - try making one of the blocks with scrap fabric before investing in enough for the entire quilt.
