Bargellos look complicated, but now that I am in the process of one, they aren't really complicated, you just really have to pay attention to what you are doing and placing things, you have to keep really organized

This is nice - it looks as though some of the blocks are floating !

OBW's are really easy. Six pieces to cut for a block. I think this is the quickest method to make a top. Some folks disagree, but that the arrangement part of the blocks, I think - they just can't decide on the placement right away.

I really like quilt blocks that are fairly easy to make but look difficult. I have read and bookmarked all of Rhonda's instructions and have made a few blocks. I like the D9P, and I have just completed a 'Square Dance' quilt top using Cheryl Petreman's instructions. (http://cheryl.thisbe.org/SquareDance.pdf)
Does anyone know of other quilts that look complicated but are actually fairly easy to make?

I am new to quilting also. 6 months now. I am working on "Winter Stars" (www.FonsandPorter.com). Look under their $5.00 downloadable patterns. It looks difficult, but with the use of their templates, a piece of cake. I took the opportunity to try my hand at making plastic templates. I went to ACE Hardware and bought a plexiglass cutter and, using an old piece of plexi, cut the templates. They work great. Hope you like the pattern as much as I do.
