My guess would be long cabin.

Did anybody mention '9 Patch' at least in popularity?

I vote for the log Cabin.

I vote for the log Cabin.

The Double Wedding Ring is the patten that most people know (quilters and nonquilters).

Most popular...probably Log Cabin.

It would also be interesting to see what is the most frequently made quilt pattern (i.e. It's not made to be sold but to be used or given away.)

i think i would have to be an old pattern, as they would naturally have higher numbers....i would be interesting to find out........

well lots of people like the BQ pattern. uses a 12 inch focus square to show off your fabric.

the original question was "best selling". Many of the old pattens were handed down from grandparent, to mom, to child (or other family members). Doubt any of the old pattens were "SOLD" prior to the late 20th century.
