How Many Times for the Same Pattern
 

What is the highest number of times that you have executed one pattern? I have found, in looking over my list of quilts, that I have done Log Cabin twice, Trip Around the World four times, and it seems that I have fallen in love with Boxed Squares, because I have made this one 10 times. It is so easy and can still be impressive if a lot of different colors are used.

So far, I have not made a quilt more than once. I guess the phrase "So many quilts, so little time." applies to me. There's always a new pattern I want to make.

1 - i agree with mckwilter - other patterns I want to make!
my exception - my mom and i are making multiples (of a quilt i'd made for me) for my siblings - but i'm not 'making' all of those as she's doing some of the work so i still vote '1' lol

I use a quilt pattern once. Awhile back, when The Very Hungry Caterpillar fabric came out, I made a quilt for someone and she wanted me to make another one. I did make another one using the same fabrics, but a different pattern. I don't think I'll live long enough to execute all the patterns that I currently have!

I think I have done "patches and pinwheels" half a dozen times to reduce scraps and because each time it looks so different. Works up quickly.

Nine Patch and Snowball, can't remember how many of these I done, lol.

MisDixie, I love that one too.

I haven't ever reproduced a pattern exactly, but I have made 2 bargellos and 2 stack-n-whack quilts, but they were all quite different from each other. (Different sizes of pieces, etc.)

Oh, I guess I did make a pair of matching quilts with the same pattern, for my cousin's two boys. Simple four patches. But those quilts were small so I sort of count them in my head as just one quilt, LOL.

I often make the same pattern more than once. Since the fabrics are always different they never look the same. Usually when I make a quilt it is all about the fabric, not about the pattern. Or sometimes, I want to throw a quilt together quickly for a specific reason.

I don't make the same quilt twice with the exception of How the Grinch Stole Christmas. It was a quilt kit and I made 2 of them for gifts. Too many patterns, not enough time!!!

For me, it depends on how big of a hurry I am in, lol. I like to do new patterns, but if I need a quilt in a hurry, I will do a TAW or Irish Chain

I don't think I've made the same pattern twice but I have made the same blocks for different quilts.

Boston 1954. I have done the box so many time I don't want to count. There is the simple one, then there is the off center one and now I am working on a wonky size. It is fun to come up with new ideas because this block goes together so quickly. If you enjoy making them, then don't STOP !! Push the pedal to the metal !!! :)

I have made I think 10 Log cabin quilt... they all ended up a bit different, as this is my go to scrappy pattern, and the potential block layouts can vary.

There are 2 patterns that I have made 3 times each. One is Yellow Brick Road and the other is one of Jenny Doan's that was originally called Alternating Squares. I have also made one of Amy Gibson's quilts twice. These are very quick and easy patterns that I use when I need a quilt quickly. I used such different materials that it did not seem that I was making the same quilt over and over.

I've made several Winding Ways. I have the Studio die, which was sort of pricey, but I can't imagine cutting all those curves accurately without it! I've made so many that this is my go-to quilt.

I've used Yellow Brick Road several times. And last Christmas I made a quilt for my daughter using Moda "Blitz" fabrics then did another with the same pattern for myself because I loved the fabrics. Mine isn't quilted yet.

This is how I feel. The fabric speaks for itself.
I have probably made a dozen Mouse Trap, about 50 Yellow Brick roads and probably another 60 of Bits and Pieces. Maybe a dozen Flim Flam, a dozen Warm wishes, and several other patterns that I can just whip up.
I donate lots of quilts and have been giving everyone a quilt for a wedding and baby gift. I think I have at least 300 quilts that I have finished

I never get tired of log cabin and have made too many to count!

I have made Bargello twice and am making a 3rd. All the others have been different patterns. I have more patterns that I want to try than I will possibly live to see. The grand daughters wanted the Bargello quilts and I want one to keep. That is why I made multiples of it.

just finished making 14 mended hearts mug-rugs for a support group. Each heart used 3 separate fabrics. Enjoyed the pattern but it's out of my system for now ;)

I have made at least 7 Bargello quilts all with different colored fabric. Love that pattern. And I do make more than one of several of my patterns. Always different colors of fab. Right now I am working on the Twister Pattern different sizes. There are four different size rulers. Made a queen size and several placemats. Will soon use the 5 inch ruler and make a lap robe. Already have the fab picked out

I have made 4 or 5 Double Slice Quilts, from MQSC video. Good way to use lots of big pieces of fabrics, 10" squares. Goes together quickly. I recently made three Dresden Plate Quilts.
I have lots of quilts I want to make but, I usually just do with what I want to make at the time.

when I first started it might have been when Eleanor Burns just started getting popular and she had the Trip Around the World, Quilt in a Day instructions out. I must have made 7 or 8 of those . Now I prefer variety.

i have made three variations of the rail fence. it's so simple and lovely and *fast*.

and if you're not a quilter it has a big wow! factor for a (relatively) little bit of work :)

aileen

impressive!

The only quilts have I done more than once are Blooming Nine Patch and One Block wonders. These change so much with the fabrics you use that it is like a new pattern

None more than once except for S & W and then different sizes, different fabric, different colors, different settings and they all look very different.

I've done a number of Bargello quilts but I don't know if that can really count- since each one is so totally different- it's just the same technique- not the same pattern...other than bargello's I pretty much never make the same quilt twice--once I make it once i'm over it and ready to do something different

I make a pattern once and then it become boring and need to do a different one. I counted the other day and have 10 kits put together and hope to get them started in June while DH is out of town and I plan to sew baby sew and only take time to eat and sleep. Plan on having enough needs and thread so that I won't have to stop and run into town and buy any supplies. This is my dream time and plan on using it wisely.

I've made three "take 5" in different fabrics and I have material to make a forth.

Have made several Log Cabins - just to use up scraps. I have done Cedars of Lebanon (Quilters Cache) many times, however, I DO enjoy doing samplers. Love making blocks with my Hunter's Star and Tucker Trimmer rulers!

I hand pieced 2 Double Irish chains, and I have made 3 or 4 Log cabin's. A few years ago I made a Thimbleberries quilt I really liked the pattern, and right now I am making another one for my GD. Usually though I only make a pattern once.

Yellow Brick Road is my quick go to pattern.

I have only made one pattern, Turning
Twenty twice. I like trying out new patterns.

I love to make Fat Friday when I need a quilt for a guy.

I have made too many puff quilts to count, most of them around the world.Let's see, my first one was around 1980, so probably between 50 and 100!! lol

I never repeat a quilt as I like variety and also like to learn something new with each I make. I like sampler quilts for that reason. I'm not a race either so getting something done in a hurry is not important to me. There are lots of quilts I would like to make but I'm willing to wait to get there. I rarely purchase a pattern. I like looking at a block or quilt, figuring out how to break it down into parts, graph it and then make it. It amazes me when I read on this board, or hear at my quilt guild how many quilts people make. Even though I usually sew every day they either must sew a lot more than I do, be a lot faster, have a lot more money (to buy that much fabric and batting), make simpler quilts, quilt them less and/or send them to a longarmer.

Just twice, but I've done 4 patterns twice. That may be the max for me right now. I have so many that I want to make, I'm trying to expand my skills, and repeating just doesn't do it.
