Do You Find Yourself Passing on a Lot of Patterns?
#1
Don't know if it's just a case of laziness or what,but I'm not choosing to make a lot of the patterns I see.
The pics are pretty,but is it full of HSTs? How many seams?Is it a... so-called easy quilt? Been there & done that.....didn't work easy for me.
Seems like my mind has to dissect a pattern before I'll consider it.Maybe too many HSTs have just worn me out? ;) :lol:

I enjoy doing complicated looking patterns. New York Beauty, Mariners Compass, and I'm thinking of ordering the Omigosh pattern. I have started Dear Jane and work on her once in a while. Hope I live long enough to finish some of there!! lol

Not only am I passing on patterns, I've stopped several magazine subscriptions. I have a ton of patterns marked in books, magazines and individual that I want to do. Am seriously trying to get projects finished this year. There's just SO much out there.

I buy very few patterns. I think some are easy to figure out just by looking at the pic and I'm not by any means an expert!
Also with all the free patterns here and elsewhere online I don't feel the need to.
Same goes for books and mags.

I do the same ... I've either GOT something very similar to it already or I will analyze how hard it may be be to put together. Sometimes I need quick and easy - and other times I want to do something more challenging ... :)
