I never make the same pattern twice. Well, I can't say never, on a couple of occasions when pressured, I made a duplicate when a relative or friend really, really, reeeeealy had to have it. I agree with joe's mom, if you love that pattern and are comfortable making it--have at it. Maybe, a little too comfortable? But what the heck, we all have our comfort foods too. No matter how many wonderful foods I try and really like, every now and then, I have to have my mom's meat loaf or fried chicken. I even drink hot chocolate in the summer time.
