What is the most popular quilt pattern?
If possible attache some of samples please.. Thanks.

Probably depends on who you talk to and what era you are talking about. Lots of patterns are and have been popular. I've never even thought about which one would be considered "most popular". Why do you want to know?
|
I would think near the top of most popular would be the Log Cabin. I’d love to hear what others have to say.
|
Log Cabin, Irish Chain, 9 patch, Stack and Whack... You can look these up on Google or Pinterest to see lots of examples.

I'm thinking melissalevi is actually talking more about pantographs and that sort of pattern, based on her signature line. Am I right?

To me, the simple checkerboard pattern is what I use when I want simple and fast.
|
I always think of a Log Cabin when I think of simple quilts to start with. I have done a number of them over the years. After that and Irish Chain.
|
I agree with y'all. I think the log cabin is what most people think of when they think if a quilt pattern. It's not an easy quilt to make, but there are lots of variations. The easiest one I made was out of jelly rolls which made a really large block.

The Log Cabin is so versatile, and it can be laid out in so many different patterns. I love it.
|
A plain old 4 patch alternated with a solid block is also a very good beginner pattern as you get to learn a lot f the basics such as matching seams, 1/4 inch seam, pressing. I started out making plain old four patch! 11 Four Patch Quilt Patterns | FaveQuilts.com Here is one link when I googled "four patch quilt patterns"

Rail Fence or Fence Rail is another very easy beginner pattern. It is the first quilt I made in a beginner quilting class. It also includes the basic needed skills, cutting, quarter inch seams, strip piecing, layout, pressing, etc. I had to cut my pieces from yardage, but using a jelly roll makes it even easier. IMHO the fence rail is a much easier block than a log cabin.

Log cabin!!! When I teach quilting, I have them make a log cabin because no matter whatever problem they have, I can show them how to fix it.

The original question was what the most popular. So my two cents goes to the massive number of crumb quilts I am seeing. Good pattern to start your quilting journey is.............four patch but like the others that were mentioned too. By just shifting colors, prints, solids you can turn any traditional pattern into modern. Or just "explode" the one block to make it bigger. Have fun! Each block you choose, pattern you choose and color pallet you choose will teach you new skills, melissalevi.

I’m really new to quilting and machine embroidery. What would be a good quilt block that can be done in hoop, to use for a quilt as you go wall hanging?
