A long, fully lined wool men's coat. I made it for my DH about 9-10 years ago, and he's worn it maybe 5 times. Oh, and my wedding dress, of course.

I love my flannel quilts, they're the ones everyone fights over. However, I used Moda flannel. The one I made for my youngest son has been washed A LOT; he had a medically-caused bed-wetting issue for a while. The binding corners are starting to wear, but it hasn't pilled yet.

Any garment made of fleece. I just finished a fleece hoodie for my son with zippered pockets. Finally had to unearth leather needles to go through all the layers and the zipper.

I could have written this post. I also bought a lot of flannel from Joann's. Some washed OK and lots didn't. But, I could not predict the good from the bad before washing it.

If it doesn't have to be quilt related, I'll say Barbie doll clothes. I think my hands are just too big.

An I-Spy quilt made from hexagons and triangles. Loved it when done but next I-Spy will be much simpler.

A stuffed animal made of Minkee. I just threw away a half-finished puppy I was trying to make by an old Carol's Zoo pattern. I can't remember the last time I just gave up on something, but geez, what a headache!

I made a log cabin 20 years ago and said "Never again". Now I have my dark scraps all set in strips and am taking them with me on a long Motor Home trip this winter. Funny thing is, I chose this pattern on purpose because I would have to think while I pieced. I can just piece when I am in the mood to sew. Never is a long time.
