I have a whole list that I'm pretty sure that I'll never do, Baltimore Album, Bargello, Rag, Lone Star and anything paper pieced. All of them are too much work for me and I wouldn't even like them that much even if they were done. It's good that we are all so different and there are so many different ways and techniques when quilting. My quilting buddy always laughs at me when I say "That's just not happening in my sewing room".

Love the Winding Ways quilt pattern. Even bought the acrylic templates to cut the pieces. Did attempt a couple of blocks. Couldn't seem myself persevering through who knows how many practice squares to get it down.

I also want to make a Bargello quilt. For the longest time I thought no way and had no interest. But I have moved to admiring the quilt to looking at different how to's to wanting to do one. Still find it intimidating though.

I thought the same thing until I found Katie Flynn Nichols in 2011. She sent me the fabric measurements that I'd need to make a queen double wedding ring quilt. I sent them off and she laser cut them. After trying several different ways of putting the pieces together, I bought a Curvemaster foot. Spendy, but so worth it. Those are the tricks I learned. It was worth the effort. My mother handquilted over 1/2 of it. It was her last quilt work and is now treasured by my son and DIL.

I cannot do paper piecing. I've tried and tried and have finally given up. That's why I will probably never do a New York Beauty.
Most of the things I probably won't make isn't because I can't but just because I am not fond of the pattern. I won't make a double wedding ring. I also probably won't ever do something with a lot of hand applique because hand sewing is so hard for me. I have done some machine applique tho. Generally speaking, if I really like a pattern I will probably try to make it. My first experience with curves was because my daughter loved the pattern and asked me to make it for her. It wasn't perfect, but she loved it.
