I've challenged myself a number of times just this year. I made a Elizabeth Hartman Dinosaur quilt for a little boy and I just hated working with small pieces but after making this quilt, I'm not so afraid of them now. Then I tried my hand at the Drunkards Path, curves were another out of my comfort zone but I made 2 oversized lap quilts for a couple so now I'm not afraid of curves. Now I'm working on Missouri Star's version of the Cathedral WIndows. I made a small runner to try it first and it didn't seem all that daunting but then I went for a queen/king size. I'll never make another one that size again. It's next on the quilt frame. I call that the quilt from hell.
