Mine I think would be the double wedding ring.
I am so drawn to that pattern and would love to
due one in red & purple our favorite colors. It just
looks so intimidating.

Mine is the Dahlia. Its the picking of the fabrics that has me worried.

In
the book I have there are a couple of examples of color ways given. I hate
all of them. But they do point out the importance of picking good

contrast
and coordinating patterns. This would be the best time to use a scanner to
take the diagram of the quilt to be able to preview fabrics in it. Its on

my
to do list, right under long nap.
Ok..spill... lets see if there are lots of people intimidated by the same
quilts.

Double Wedding Ring is what scares me most too, but one I would love to do.
I did make one "practice" block, and it came out "OK," but it took quite a
while!

Must be a personality thing. I honestly can't think of a quilt that scares
me. There are a couple that I know would bore me to tears because they'd be
so slow to do (a pieced clamshell comes to mind), but it doesn't scare me.

That may be because when I started quilting I was too dumb to know what was
hard. Whenever I had something I couldn't do, I just made lots of practice
pieces until I had that skill down, or hunted down a class to learn what I
wanted. So maybe that's why quilts don't scare me -- it's not a matter of
"too hard", but just "not enough skills yet; what a great opportunity to
learn!" *grin*

FWIW, there are almost no set-in seams in a Mariner's Compass. It just looks
like there would be.

Is it the curves in the one and the many set in seams in the other?

Hi All,
No, none scare me. I just dig in and try everything.

There are two scary ones for me. I'd love to make a blooming 9-patch.
The fabric selection is what scares me. I've seen some that are
gorgeous and others that, well... don't do much for me. It's all in the
fabric selection, and I feel I'm not experienced enough to pick the
right fabrics yet. I'd also love to make a mariner's compass. I'm
worried about matching the points on this one. I've got a long way to
go before I could make one I was happy with. But I'm confident when I
have a couple of years experience or so, that I will make both of them.
