Technical challenges:  You would never guess that someone born in the 1950s could be a child of The Great Depression. It drives me nuts to have partially finished projects lying around even if the project consists of, say, three quilt blocks that I made while trying to learn curved piecing using scraps in colors I would normally avoid. Made six more blocks from compatible leftovers, rearranged and tinkered until it looked right, sewed it all together.
