If you could make any quilt, regardless of how advanced it is...

I want to one day do a Storm at Sea. I'd also like to applique a Mariners Compass on it or piece it and work it into pattern. I'm not exactly intimidated. But, I really don't have the fabrics or pattern yet. I'm am looking for the paperpiece pattern for it. It is one of my top must do someday pics. (I want to do it in the traditional blues and white!)

I agree with DoghouseMom, I want to make a Baltimore but dont feel I have the skills. I think most of us doubt ourselves especially us newbies. The one thing I have learned especially this past weekend that you are probably better than you think you are. I entered a show and thought oh boy I am so out of my league here and took first on two of my pieces. People always tell me how good I am but since I am fairly new I doubt it. I have now decided to tackle that Baltimore this year since I love applique so just sump in there and go for it. If it doesnt come out perfect oh well most of our dont and you can always keep it for yourself or give it to a friend who will surely love it since you thought of them and took the time. good luck

I love Jacqueline de Jonge's quilts, especially the Colourful quilt. Also, love the New York Beauty blocks. And Smokey River. And just about any Judy Neimeyer pattern. Are my skills up to any of these? Maybe the New York Beauty blocks. They are easier than they look. Definitely need some more practice before I tackle any of the others.

what quilt have you wanted to make for a long time but haven't because you've felt either intimidated by it or haven't had the time to make it? I'm making Amy Gibson's 'Tilt a Whirl' that is all paper pieced and making it one row wider and one row longer. And I'm using my all time favorite fabric that I've been saving forever. It's a fatquarter bundle. I had to print 120 pieces of Carol Doak's paper out of my printer as the Copy Club's printer wouldn't take Carol's paper. I've been sick for a while and am so wanting to make this quilt. I'm hoping to cut some of the pieces today. Do just a little bit on it. I feel intimidated by it, but I'm going for it. What quilt would you make?

marinars compass is easy, I took a classs avout 25 yrs ago, I did it all by hand, sut it wasn't difficult, just sew two pcs together at a time. if you're sewing 3 you're putting in a ruffle. try it.
SAS is just time consuming.
