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)

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!

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 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.
