Default How Many Times for the Same Pattern

What is the highest number of times that you have executed one pattern? I have found, in looking over my list of quilts, that I have done Log Cabin twice, Trip Around the World four times, and it seems that I have fallen in love with Boxed Squares, because I have made this one 10 times. It is so easy and can still be impressive if a lot of different colors are used.

So far, I have not made a quilt more than once. I guess the phrase "So many quilts, so little time." applies to me. There's always a new pattern I want to make.

1 - i agree with mckwilter - other patterns I want to make!
my exception - my mom and i are making multiples (of a quilt i'd made for me) for my siblings - but i'm not 'making' all of those as she's doing some of the work so i still vote '1' lol

I use a quilt pattern once. Awhile back, when The Very Hungry Caterpillar fabric came out, I made a quilt for someone and she wanted me to make another one. I did make another one using the same fabrics, but a different pattern. I don't think I'll live long enough to execute all the patterns that I currently have!

I think I have done "patches and pinwheels" half a dozen times to reduce scraps and because each time it looks so different. Works up quickly.

I haven't ever reproduced a pattern exactly, but I have made 2 bargellos and 2 stack-n-whack quilts, but they were all quite different from each other. (Different sizes of pieces, etc.)

Oh, I guess I did make a pair of matching quilts with the same pattern, for my cousin's two boys. Simple four patches. But those quilts were small so I sort of count them in my head as just one quilt, LOL.

I often make the same pattern more than once. Since the fabrics are always different they never look the same. Usually when I make a quilt it is all about the fabric, not about the pattern. Or sometimes, I want to throw a quilt together quickly for a specific reason.

I don't make the same quilt twice with the exception of How the Grinch Stole Christmas. It was a quilt kit and I made 2 of them for gifts. Too many patterns, not enough time!!!
