Whatever makes you comfortable and happy do it; quilting is supposed to be fun and enjoyable. I admit to having a few "go to" patterns that I make often, especially for table runners and placemats. I happen to really like Contrary Wife, maybe because I am one, but Jacob's Ladder is a close second as a favorite pattern. The thing is you can make the same block look so many ways just by the arrangement of fabrics and color choices. I say do whatever makes you happy.
