Default The Quilts You Will Never Make Again. LOL

I was reading the other post about the Road Not Taken quilts. My first thought was I may try to make any quilt but there are a few I will never make again.

1. Any Judy Niemeyer quilt
2. Bargello
3. Double Wedding Ring (traditional pieced)
4. Cathedral Window
5. Lone Star (traditional pieced)

LOL, those are my least favorites to try to tackle, as well. I think I might add, a Bonnie Hunter mystery quilt.

I'll trade out the double wedding ring for a Jacqueline de Jonge. Alot like Judy Niemeyer.

7” squares of patchwork with 2.5” sashing has been staring me in the face needing completion. Wish I’d never started it but I will do so .... grudgingly.

I'm with Sewbiz- no more Bonnie Hunter mysteries for me. I like the idea and her quilts are lovely, but I don't enjoy repetitive cutting and sewing so I found that working on the ORL Bonnie Hunter mystery had me nearly bored to tears... My favorite parts of quilting are doing improvisational piecing and doing the actual quilting, so I should have known that I wouldn't be a good fit for a BH mystery LOL!

Kaffe fasset shirt quilt, not sure of the name, but it's where you recycle old stripey shirts to make squares where all the stripes make boxes. I love how it turned out, but boy was I crosseyed at the end of it

I did a white whole cloth quilt with trapunto. The one where you first sew on the thick batting with wash away thread then cut and trim around the shapes. Then I added another batting, then the back. I machine quilted around the feathers and other shapes with a goldish silk thread. Worked on it for 6 years. You know, set it down a few times. Never again. It is done and in the pile of quilts I have.

I forgot her! I made one Bonnie Hunter quilt and won't make another. They all look about the same so one is enough.

I made did one quilt kit from Jinny Breyer and before I got the kit, ordered some of her fabric. I was never so frustrated with a quilt in my life. Some of the finished squares were 1/4”. And I was really dissatisfied with the quality of the fabric. The thread count was more like cheese cloth. Beautiful colors and designs to look at but never again would I do it.
