I don't know why, but 'Jacobs ladder' has always been one of my favorite blocks. I love what you can do with a stack of them and just like making them. Pineapple blocks would be next for visual appeal ( although I dislike making them, I love them when done)

I seem to keep making square in a square. Sometimes the center is 4", sometimes it is off center and once I made them wonky !! I also adore BQ & BQ2. They can look terrific with large prints and they go together so quickly.

I also like the Ohio Star, it's my fav out of the star blocks and I like star blocks.

My go to favorite is the 8 pointed star made from hst units. It's found its way into many of my quilts. I like it expanded into a carpenter's star layout. And my second favorite is shoo fly. Two I don't care for much are Dresden plate/fan or the ones that end up looking like a swastika.

I like moon over mountain, and a sailboat block (probably the one from quilter's cache)

Log Cabin.... because it is so versatile. You can get so many different looking quilts, with the same block!!

I love "yellow brick road" it's fast and looks great! But then I just want a fast and easy quilt most of the time.

I'm a star girl myself. Just about any kind of star blocks so I'm no help either. And yet I find HST's so terribly tedious but love the different ways you can make them appear.
