You may be out of your comfort zone, but you are sure in your groove. Love your colors and your circles are looking like work by a pro. Congrats and keep it up!

EVERY single quilt design I make, is out of my comfort zone. But it doesn't take long for me to fall in love again. And again. And again.

You need to just rethink it. We get psyched out with what we hear about things. I didn't know any better and chose a Drunkard's Path as my first project. It wasn't until after I was done that I found out how difficult it was supposed to be. I was very proud of myself, but convinced that we need to not listen to the "others" on all things. Beautiful colors and mix, by the way.

I learned how to make curves a little bit ago and it's not as hard as I thought it would be. Your blocks are so pretty. You chose some really pretty fabric!! And your piecing is so precise! Good job!!!!!!!!

Not only did you do curves, you picked a directional fabric pattern with zigzags and lined them all up! Way to work you skills!

Every time I start a new quilt, I make sure there is something about it that I've never done before. I really, REALLY want to learn and for me the best way to do that is to make sure I'm trying something new all the time. So I'm always out of my comfort zone! LOL!

It's a challenge to work outside the box sometimes. It's good to do and I do it at least once a month. I'm in a small group within my guild that forces me to go outside the box often. I'm also participating in a Brown Bag (adding onto a block) and a Row Robin (making a row ) within my guild now too. Both of those are challenging for me since most everyone is very traditional and I'm not. I made my first HST's last month.
