I LOVE fancy quilts!!! However, my skills aren't "there" yet. Or is it my level of patience? lol My hat is off to those of you who REALLY sew! You all come up with some fabulous eye candy.

I am just getting back into quilting and only make traditional quilts. My most challenging block to date has been the pinwheel. I definitely like the simple ones. :)

I've done patterns by Jacqueline de Jonge and I would consider them "fancy".

I wouldn't call any of mine fancy. However, I do make some that are scrappy and some that are planned with matching fabrics. The planned ones are my favorites, but I love using my scraps as well. Most of the time I give the planned ones as gifts and keep the scrappy ones for myself. I agree with amma about them being used, laundered, and loved :)

I am not into fancy yet. What I make even when I design them myself are pretty simple. That way I don't get too frustrated.

I do both and for kids under 10, I tie them . When they become teenagers I make them each a hand quilted one. They all like them and I think it's because I ask them what I should do and what colors. I really wouldn't like them to be disappointed. But I DO love to make Fancy ones also.
Good luck and Happy new Year, Kutnso

The only traditional quilt I've done was a crib-size log cabin. Since then, I've done a red-work (embroidered) queen-size with additional applique, a twin size rag quilt, and two lap quilts (appx. 55x75). Each of the lap quilts were of my own designs including hst/qst squares-in-a-square, etc. But they were not of a traditional design. I'm hoping to do a scrappy Irish Chain and have begun to accumulate the small blocks of fabric for it.

I am not advanced enough nor do I have time for fancy at this point in my life! I would love to have more time and at some point in the future after retirment......if I live that long plan on making all kinds of wonderfully involved quilts. Untill then once in awhile I will try aninvolved table tunner but even that unfortunatly takes a month or more to finish.
