Most complicated block you ever made
Here is mine. I believe it's called the Idaho Beauty. The block finished at 8" square and contained 43 individual pieces. I had to use three different seam widths to get the points to align properly. What a bear it was to make, but it made a beautiful quilt.

The Lone Star block was the toughest block I've ever made. Starting out with 1.5-inch strips made it difficult for me, but I hung in there and finished this. It was supposed to be a table runner, but I made it into a wall hanging.

umm...I really don't know; miniature quilts are always a challenge even simple one. I made a log cabin where the finished "logs" were only 1/4 of an inch wide. I also have problems with the silly pikey and squeaky block unit and smaller curved pieces like drunkards' path in miniature.

I bought the BOM of this pattern. I made myself finish it. The pattern was complicated. The blocks didn't sew up the same size to each other. I finally winged it and made them fit. A Poinsettia Winter BOM

This is an original design made with New York Beautys (Beauties?) flying geese in an arc and appliqued circles. I can't remember the name of the technique but you layer two fabrics and then cut the top one out to reveal the bottom one? Reverse applique?
Anyhow...it was difficult to get all the blocks lined up the way I wanted them.
