I will never even finish the Jelly Roll Diamonds from Fig Tree Quilts that I started a couple of years ago. Although I thought I was being so careful in my cutting and sewing and used the Fusible Pelon grid system interfacing, my points don't line up, no matter what i do. I have never given up on a project before but this one has me beat.

Cat Garden Quilt
 

I can't believe I found someone else who has that quilt sitting around. I bought EVERY block and it was very expensive. I did 1 block and it was just more than I could handle with the tiny pieces. I have taken it out maybe once a year since to think about it. My last thought is to just fuse the pieces down with a strong adhesive and at least it would be done. Please post the 6 you have, just maybe it will give me inspiration. HAS IT REALLY BEEN THAT LONG SINCE I BOUGHT IT. Talk about unfinished items.

I bought some nice flannel online and I'm happy with it. Can't remember the price, except that it wasn't cheap!

Never again
 

A roman shade. Augggh I was pulling my hair out with that. It was 72 inches wide and the fabric and lining had to be pieced. The worst part was shoving the slats into the tight casings. If I do take leave of my senses and try it again, I'm purchasing the pully mechanism and using dowels instead of slats. Valuable lessons.

Oh my. I don't think you could talk me into starting this one!

I've made several Roman shades, and don't mind them. The last ones I made were 'top down/bottom up'. If you ever do it again, check out http://www.terrelldesigns.com/. I found these directions very helpful.

I was so excited about making 4 HSTs at the same time (where you sew completely around the perimeter then cut on both diagonals). The problem is that you have bias edges from you-know-where to deal with. I had such a horrible time piecing it (and usually my points are amazing). I ended up setting it down for a few years until I recently completed it. Not great, but done. Never again.

Flannel for me! I'm too sloppy for something that wiggles that much!

English foundation is a big time NO for me. I love the regular paper piecing; it has been a favorite for me. I did an English paper piecing project one time and it was a "study in endurance" for me and I was determined I was going to finish it. I did finish it, but anytime I see "English Foundation" I just pass. No thanks.

I took an online class to learn spiral quilts from Renae Merrill. They are foundation pieced and look very cool. Here's a link to her gallery - http://www.ranaemerrillquilts.com/gallery/Spirals

I'm glad I learned the technique, but don't plan to make a full quilt. I did use one of my blocks from the class as the top of an insulated casserole carrier.
