I do have a favorite pattern(?) string quilts. When I need to relax I make string quilt blocks and then every once in a while I put one together. I usually do an applique border on them. However, I really don't like to make the same thing twice, so I have a many patterns that I will probably never use again.

Dina, these are great, where can I find this pattern. Thanks, Threads.

I have the Take Five but just haven't done it yet.

I think I could do the Jelly Roll 1600 multiple times but I don't let myself buy jelly rolls.

I really like your second quilt.


I've done several personal sized turning 20's. But the color combos are sooooooooooo different, that they seems to be completely different, too.

The take 5 looks so different according to what fabrics you use that being the same pattern isn't really evident.

I have done the Fab Five by Abbey Lane Quilts a lot. I have changed the size easily to make baby quilts and larger lap quilts. Love that pattern. I embroidery designs in the applique section instead of applique. I usually use 5 different fabrics plus the sashing and the applique section. Fun fast pattern and lots of variety.

For us log cabins are always a good fall back. Have made more of them than any other pattern.
