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.

Any small units with lots of points. They are tedious and complicated. I stopped doing Bonnie Hunter's mysteries because of that.

I couldn't name which one but some of the Lori Holt blocks have lots of pieces and tiny little flippy corners. I improvised a lot.

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.

Anything with small pieces is out of my comfort zone. I'll be starting the Dinosaur pattern by Elizabeth Hartman shortly. Just got all the fabrics starched and pressed.

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

The looping border on this one, but mostly because I had to fussy cut every bit of that green stripe to get it to line up right.

not really a block, but a Triple Wedding Ring. Made as a wedding present for friends.

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.
