I'd guess 30 plus years on and off, depending on how busy things are, not like life dosen't get in the way :) More since have a designated room/she cave :)

I've been quilting for 10 years. My favorite patterns are the lone star and feathered star.

I am been quilting about 20 years now. I enjoy all parts of process except the "sandwiching", that's a "have to."

I guess I would say the "log cabin" block is one of my favorites.

I love the Carrie Nation block but I guess I'd have to say that my favorite is one I haven't done yet. I love the challenge of making blocks that are different than any I've done before.

I've been quilting for 1 year and 1 month. My favorite block today is Winding Ways, but ask me again tomorrow.

I've been quilting for 30+ years. My favorite pattern is the first one I did: a Trip Around the World. That's the one I remember being on my bed as a kid (made by Grandma), and that's the one I picked to kick off my quilting habit!

I've been piecing and quilting a few years, mostly with my mom. I guess my favorite block is the dresden plate. My mom loved that one too, and the fan block. Love all the traditional patterns.

I have been quilting for 15 yrs and my favorite block is the one I have pictured.
I got it out of a magazine a few years ago. It is a white on white, and a black floral. What I love about this pattern, is how you take a color from the black and use it as the accent color. I have done this block a couple of times and will probally do it again, if I can find some black floral I like.

I have been quilting since July. I saw an episode of Sewing with Nancy and she was quilting and I thought, I can do that. Started researching online, went to a quilt shop 40 mi away the next weekend. Two weekends later, 25 yr old sewing machine I bought for $99 at a motel showing broke and my DH bought me a Bernina 230PE the end of August.

My favorite blocks to actually do are the simple blocks. Although I tend to go for more complicated. Working on finishing up my 3rd quilt for my grandson. I designed it myself on graph paper with colored pencils. It is sailboats. His birthday is in May so I'd better hurry.
