I used to like to try new patterns & challenge myself. But now, in my old age (LOL), I find myself preferring quicker, simpler patterns. I want to get a lot of them done -- for a several reasons. I have alot of fabric so I would like to at least make a dent in it. Also, I want to give a lot of quilts to my friends, family & charity. Also, there are so many cool quick patterns & they really allow you to show the beautiful fabrics off. And I've gotten lazy in my dotage... LOL!
My favorites are Yellow Brick Road, 9-Patch (with or without Snowballs), Streak of Sunshine (from Quiltville), Log Cabin, Turning 20, & Jelly Roll Race.
