I heard a person on a quilt show state that "The Double Wedding Ring Quilt is suitable for beginners".

Didn't know whether to laugh or shout at the TV.

Ginny Beyer's "difficulty ratings" for her quilts!

Stitch in the ditch is easy -- not for me!

My next quilt is a real pattern and I've cut all the pieces, so this definitely isn't true in this case.

From me: Oh, that quilt won't take very long. Hah! Replace 'that quilt' with 'the binding'. Binding seems to take way too much time.

Nesting seams....not easy for me.

Sometimes winding a bobbin is frustrating.

Mitering corners takes me a lot of thinking, no matter how many times I've done. it.

Probably because your seam allowance has to be absolutely consistant for the blocks to come out right. Also they can be really confusing to put together. It can be hard to get the blocks to come out the same size... I could go on and on.

I'm with you on this one! ��

"Use only the finest cottons from your LQS" is bunk. I recycle wonderful fabrics at an extremely small cost (My accountant DH estimates it averages .25/yd). I have fun and create some beautiful quilts.

Jinny Beyer is my favorite designer but I can't do most of her stuff!!!

Like Innov8R "use only the finest cottons from your LQS"....'fraid not...no LQS for kms and I am a rabid upcycler. I will try and make quilts out of almost anything, which is sometimes a challenge, but much fun. Sometimes I am almost intimidated by a good quality new fabric...and yet I throw myself into making quilts out of men's shirts or clothing with abandon.
