I love them all but find I just can't get into the fussy cutting. My DH means well when I ask what he thinks about what I'm working on but not all work is exact. (my points don't meet, my pieces are not all cut the same size, so on and so on.) I'm creative with what I have and what I can do with it. They are all a work of love no matter how they look.
I tie some, I hand quilt, machine with my regular machine what fits and do some on large hoops. Always end up taking apart and on to the next idea of how to put it all together.
There are dozens of ways to make your "mistakes" into something a bit more creative. Sanity is the name of the game.

though I often use the "fancy" fabrics of velvet, silks, etc...here's a picture of my first cottons...learned in Judith Baker Montano's class:
