I never make the same thing twice, though I will make variations on a style. So for example I've made several log cabin quilts, but each of them is very different, despite being the same basic block -- some are wonky, some are scrappy, some are traditional, some are improv.
A great part of what I like about quilting is the flexability and creativity in the moment, so I am not inclined to repeat myself ever. RST |

There is not ONE quilt out of 15 that i have made that are the same pattern. I love everything to be different. I have only posted a couple of them. Go to my site and have a look. Would love to hear what you think. :-D |

I've only repeated quilt patterns for the quilts for my grands, so that they don't think the quilt that someone else received is more special than theirs.
Recently made one for my new granddaughter by marriage, to match the quilts I made for her new cousin and new big sister. The other 2 girls thought I made hers bigger! Geesh, same amount of blocks, same size. Told them maybe theirs has shrunk from laundering over the last few years. warm quilt hugs, sue in CA |
I think I have quilter's ADD. I can barely get done with one quilt when another one grabs my attention!! (Saw a few on this board just TODAY that I would like to try.) I can't help it, I want to make everything - and there are still tons of methods and patterns out there I want to try. Each January I make a list of what I'd like to do during the year (Drunkard's path, a Mariner's Compass and New York Beauty, to name a few) but by February, the entire list has changed! I haven't quite decided what my thing is yet, so I'll just have to keep trying new things!

I rarely make the same pattern always a variation of a pattern or one that I love which is the "Trip Around the World". I always have a list of what I want to do next...I asked Santa for the Twister Templates so I am sure I will be making several of those next year. Problem is I have far more patterns I want to make than I have time to make them. And I always see another pattern that makes it to my list which makes the list go longer before I can shorten it by completing another. My "want to make list" has grown enornmously since I've joined this group.

I like to try different patterns. So far, no repeats.

I usually try something new. I haven't made a quilt twice yet, but there are a couple I will do some day. Love new patterns and challenges of some. There are just so many patterns I can't do any twice or three times.
