Anyone else find themselves
with a favorite pattern they repeat?
I don't think I am in a time loop but I have at
least 4 patterns I like and repeat just because they
are fun and beautiful, very good reasons!
Also, I make them for myself but someone
always seems to have a quilt worthy occasion.
Weddings top the list , but also :
new houses, babies, degrees, and birthdays.
First one, Green Log Cabins.
I've made this one 3 times and once as a
baby quilt.
Next up , one I call a Lattice block, found in
a McCall's Quilting (by Ann Weber) .
Two queen size and three baby sized!
I still have about 2 rows worth of blocks
left so when I need some sewing fun, I may make another!
It is such fun to look at ! It showcases
beautiful fabrics so nicely!
Then a really fun strip rainbow bed quilt.
three times queen sized , a variation queen
and 1 baby quilt.
The patterns are just so much fun!
I always have a few blocks left over so
I just make more blocks and do another quilt!
The quilts don't live nearby or together so I feel just
fine spreading out these beautiful patterns.
The last repeater ( or the last I will admit to!!),
is the stretched star!
I made one for my sister when her son was born.
I was home for a visit and it was on a bed,
looking very rough and well used.
What a great result!
Loved and used to the end.
The blocks were 4 inch square!
She will probably get this remake for her
birthday. We can hope it get as well loved
as the last !
The best compliment is a well used (loved) quilt! When you find a winner, absolutely repeat it!
ReplyDeleteExactly!
DeleteI posted a 'stretched stars' today on Alycia's Finished or Not!! But it was a Bonnie Hunter free pattern called Smoky Mountain Stars. I like that ALL of your star points are one color. Think that would make it a tad easy though I was going for the plaids like Bonnie's. I'd definitely make it again!!
ReplyDeleteYep, it will become a favorite!
DeleteGotta love a quilter who knows a good pattern when she sees one!! Nice work on all of these!
ReplyDeleteThank you ! I am getting quite a collection of favorite patterns!
DeleteI like the patterns you keep repeating! they are wonderful. and how sweet to see a quilt you made all loved up!
ReplyDeleteIt is certainly the best to see the quilts " all loved up!"
