For me it was my second or third quilt. Magic carpet, all hand cut with scissors (this is before rotary cutters) and hand sewn 4inch blocks. my DH loves it ,bless him but the sashing is wavy.[ATTACH=CONFIG]568084[/ATTACH]

Mine was a Lori Smith Quilt Sampler with 81 7.5 inch blocks. She had blocks with 72 pieces, blocks with miters within the blocks, 1/16 inch measurements, Y seams, and every other combo. When I got done, I felt like I could do anything.

It was so much fun doing a quilt with huge 3.5 inch pieces next.

Hands down, my Judy Neimeyer quilt Cactus Rose. When I was done I hated it. Now that it's quilted it's pretty but I'm still going to give it to my daughter. And yes, I made a Giant Dahlia with a huge volcano in the center. The quilting girls had a big laugh. I've wanted to make another since but just haven't.

Humminn ---- I certainly can appreciate all the work that went into that quilt. Magnificent! And I am thrilled to see that someone else on this board has made a Magic Carpet. I made my version of that quilt in 2012 and it was a big challenge.

FayKilgore, your post made me laugh! Thanks!

Mine was my DD Storm at Sea out of her table toppers from her reception. I wanted to make 12" blocks and thought I had a way to cut it using my Tri-Rec ruler, etc--so started with cutting problems. Figured that out, re-cut, started up again and then figured out that doing the blocks like I had in a class (sampler so only one block) would not give me that circular design that I wanted, so unsewed a bunch and started again. Wanted to quilt and pitch it at this point, but since I had chopped up her table toppers, basically had to do something with them! Did get it finished and quilted it to reflect Irish motifs to represent their Irish honeymoon and they like it--just don't look close at those points![ATTACH=CONFIG]568205[/ATTACH]
