Lucky stars is a great pattern that I have used several times. I also like the BQ patterns, Falling Charms, Midnight Snack, and of course, Warm Wishes.

I use a different pattern for every quilt I make, but today I'm starting my second Bento Box because I enjoyed making and arranging the blocks so much that I ended up with enough for another quilt.

I like Floating Stars and Log Cabin. I also like Card Trick, Bear Tracks, Oh heck, I love 'em all! Pinwheel, I guess that is why I love to do samplers! Some new block in every quilt I make just to keep in the loop! Edie

I am totally in love with the Shoo Fly pattern. Can be made fancy with a small 9 patch in the center or with a twister. Just love everything about it. I do make many other patterns though.

Mine too! I made about 10 or 12 of them several years ago for baptism quilts at church and baby quilts for friends. Then I burned out on Luck Stars for a while. Generally, when I find a pattern I like, I will make at least two of theat pattern to kind of "cement" it in my brain.

Same thing here.

Boy, I guess I'm really boring. I have made 5 jelly roll race quilts. Love them. So easy. :D

I try not to make the same quilt pattern twice but I seem to be drawn to Quiltville's Pineapple Blossom which I've made 2 so far. Since watching how others make up this pattern I just decided to try my hand at yet another one using the creams for the background with browns, golds and maybe a little purple for accent. Someone just finished one in creams and reds and it looks outstanding.

I'm not sure if it my go-to but I do love the 9 patch/snow ball, in flannel for 2 of my older relatives (80's)! Brown and aqua for my uncle, white and aqua for my aunt

Can someone tell me where to find the Lucky Stars pattern? Do you have a picture of your quilt? Thanks!
