Quilt paterns
 

Do you tend to use a quilt pattern only once? Or do you reuse the quilt pattern using different fabrics? I sometimes find making it once is enough and move on to a different one.

Some patterns I use only once. I have one that I have used 5 times. It just depends.

I tend to make an item only one time. However, my closest relatives live in 3 different states. So sometimes I make the same thing for each of them :)

Sometimes only once but most of the time I will make another one - depends on the pattern and the person its intended for.

I have a couple of go to patterns or techniques that I use for a quick gift or donation if needed. Mostly to use up scraps.

Rarely do I make a pattern more that once. I like to try different patterns and techniques. I have to do that or I will never get even half of the patterns I have collected done. I have 3 notebooks full of quilts I want to make. Wish me luck.

With rare exception, all the quilt patterns I buy since I started (in the mid-1990's) I intended to make at least three of (in different colorways). I have a large number of patterns+plus (fabric and pattern), though, half of which I made additional ones from my stash and the other half were used just for the one-shot-wonder.

What, use a pattern... I'm the 'pattern collector' and seem to never find time to actually use the pattern! I have notebooks and files and notebooks and files full of downloaded patterns, too.

OMG! I thought I was bad having ONE notebook full. Good luck. :)

The only pattern I've made more than once is Turning Twenty. I've made several quilts for Project Linus using different themed FQs. I also used Turning Twenty surrounding a panel when I wanted to make a Steam Engine quilt for a dear friend's husband, again using the themed fabric.

There are too many patterns I want to try to keep repeating the same pattern all the time.:)
