me and only make a pattern one time. Its' crazy, but in anything I do I only do it one time. I don't like making a quilt more than once even with different fabrics. You would think it would be easier to make it the second time, but I like the challenge of always trying a new pattern.
When I was working I was the same way, I chose jobs that always were different, like working on contracts, always different customers, designs, engineers etc.
