I made the Metro Rings quilt, sort of a modern version of DWR. Once was enough, the directions were just too tedious for me. It looks great, but no more curves for me. Any quilt with curved piecing goes on the Do Not Do list. I was an apparel sewer for most of my life, and did enough set-in sleeves that I feel no need to ever do easing again. And will not do an applique quilt either. That is another thing I did way before there was fusible webbing and modern cutting tools. I still want to try a Storm at Sea, though. Another one I will never do is anything with hexis that have to be hand sewed. When I was a kid I collected bottle caps and sewed little circles around them, and made hot pads for all my Aunts. Never again.
