    For quilts I am a one and done. I have a group of 7 gal pals that I have made wall hangings for, and various other quilted things, and those are always alike, except for color variations.

    I've made several quilt patterns twice, but only twice have they been the same fabrics. I recently have made 4 quilts from the Villa Rosa pattern "Radiance". It's quick, easy, and is great for a large print focus fabric...perfect for baby and toddler quilts!

    Me too. I like to try new designs and new techniques, but have done Yellow Brick Road and Warm Wishes a few times for quick charity quilts.

    I’m a once only person unless I’m in a hurry.

    I only make a quilt design once. Too many beautiful quilts to make to want to repeat one I have already made. I do use quilt blocks over and over, but with variations, and in completely different designs. For example, I have made 2 or 3 quilts using Lemoyne Stars, or Ohio Stars. Storm at Sea is a quilt block that you can do many different ways for a large variety of quilts that look totally different. I do not like to make a quilt using the same or similar block if I used the block in the previous quilt.

    I haven't made enough quilts to worry about repeating much yet. However, I worked with another quilter on designing a miniature bargello using a paper piecing technique she developed. I've made four small wallhangings from that, in different color schemes. I view that set as a single series, so repeated with purpose. And since they're miniatures, it's not much different from doing one larger quilt with repeated blocks.

    Oh so many time I have needed a gift in a hurry! Friend got transfer orders and was moving in 3 weeks, another got a bad diagnosis and a quilt was needed for comfort and chemo, baby adoption came through last minute, parent died in auto accident and 9 year old needed comfort. I have quilts I plan out, but I learned to keep a few stashed away for such "emergencies".

    My initial response was "one and done", but then I realized that I've made several Lone Stars for baby quilts and several Attic Windows I Spy for toddlers. Currently on a "row" quilt binge. Made rows of bunnies/flowers/eggs for Easter and am currently working on rows of trees/mountains/houses made from batiks.
    I can guarantee that the minute I see "squirrel" on Pinterest, I'll start with something totally new.
