your favorite quilting pattern?

MadQuilter 02-04-2010 03:51 PM

Jacob's ladder

Lisa_wanna_b_quilter 02-04-2010 03:51 PM

My favorite block is bow ties. Fast and easy. It can be controlled or scrappy. There are many layout possibilities.

I actually 2 I love equally. Storm at Sea and Ohio Star.

Quilting pattern or Quilt Block? If it is block I love hearts and stars of any kind!! Irish chain in any shape remain a favorite also.

Quilting pattern would be also anything in hearts or stars.

I'll have to look at these, I gor stuck on yellow brick road. Am getting kind of tired of it.

Keep the ideas coming.

quazyquilter 02-04-2010 04:13 PM

definitely the log cabin block and crazy quilt block, I like that they are both easy to put together and there are so many variations!

Beautiful quilt

Dragonfly Nana 02-04-2010 05:09 PM

Thank you. Sorry the pic is so big

littlehud 02-04-2010 05:35 PM

Double Irish Chain.

omak 02-04-2010 06:39 PM

I don't think I have a favorite ... I quilt because I like the colors and the angles and the fact that my effort produces a practical product ...
:?: :?: :?: I would have to say whatever I am working on at the moment is my new favorite ... scrappy is the style ;-) <wave>

renee765 02-04-2010 06:41 PM

While I love many, my favorite has to be log cabin and all the various ways it can be put together.

LucyInTheSky 02-04-2010 08:37 PM

Double wedding ring. Love it... want to make one... want to own lots... love them!

A1penny 02-04-2010 08:41 PM

Renee, i seem to be following you! I agree with you, the simple log cabin with all its variations is one of my very favorite patterns.

But my all time favorites are very complicated patterns that are beautiful, and so complicated that I feel absolutely no need to do them myself! (See all the time I saved!)

RedGarnet222 02-04-2010 09:08 PM

I have two as well ... Crossed canoes amd burgoyne surrounded.

Esqmommy 02-04-2010 09:09 PM

I have tons I like, but I consider the Log Cabin a real prize quilt. I love the way you can do so much with it, and I also like that it's what I call a "quilter's quilt" - I think we can appreciate them more than the average person!!

mrspete 02-04-2010 09:18 PM

I see the words, community benefactor and communicator. What do these mean, plz?

skpkatydid 02-04-2010 09:35 PM

I like log cabin, crazy quilts, quilts showcasing a needlework or applique to make. I guess you could say I like the picture (fussy cut) quilts.I love the look of the Dresden Plate. I have no desire to make the complicated angle, triangle quilts but I do appreciate the amount of work involved.

The Bear Paw. I however call it the dog paw. :-D

LOL ... and, THIS is how one block ends up with four different names, give or take a couple <g> ... GOOD SHOW :thumbup:
I would have never thought of it, so I consider you VERY creative! <wave>

Thanks. I always look at patterns and wonder hmmmm how can I make that doggie. Ha. Usually all it takes is using doggie fabrics. I'm a dog fabric junkie. :thumbup: I guess dog junkie anything. ;)

There are a few that I dislike or else I have yet to see them used in a quilt that I like. There are a few that are so optically illusional (such as Tumbling Blocks and Bargello) that they make me dizzy and nauseated. I greatly admire the work, the fabric selections, the skill required to create a Bargello quilt, but they make me physically ill to look at them. I don't think I have a favorite, though, because the color choices and the block/piece layout of a quilt makes all the difference in the world. I'm not normally a big fan of Drunkard's Path in all its many layout options, but they had a DP quilt displayed on the local hospital lobby wall last year that was one of the most gorgeous quilts I have ever seen. I came back a few months later with my camera, but they had replaced that quilt with another one, dang it! I waited too long. I did a sketch when I first saw it, but the sketch is a bit "iffey".

Pinwheel is my favorite block. I love the way they seem to be so free flowing. They remind me of the swings at amusement parks, my favorite ride for the same reason - because swings make me feel free flowing. Wheeeeeeee!! :lol: :lol:

pookie ookie 02-05-2010 11:14 AM

Pickle Dish.

meemersmom 02-05-2010 11:21 AM

Log Cabin or its Courthouse Steps variation -- both blocks play well together, and you can do so many different things.

Beautiful quilt, Dragonfly Nana; your son is lucky!!

Very, very nice!

MaryStoaks 02-05-2010 11:35 AM

I like all the simple designs. I enjoy the quilting and binding more than piecing so I'm always in a hurry to finish the piecing (get it over with).

I am going to hang you from the rafters in the bunkhouse - - you will be my quilting angel <g> I LOVE the piecing and can do that PDQ ... but finishing? ahhh, not so much! LOL
I'll bet, in your area, you will find a friend that compliments your likes/dislikes/talents and abilities! You would be a quilter's dream, I would think! <wave>

Ditto that. Can we have your address so when we are to that ending part you can do it for us? :thumbup:

MaryStoaks 02-05-2010 12:17 PM

I'll let you know when we move back to WA LOL

When you do, dglvr and I can make a schedule <g> ... Amma will probably want in on it, too, eh? Maybe I will get a fifth wheel or something just for you to travel in so that you can camp out in our backyards or parking lots for ten days at a pop ... I think we are getting a plan! LOL <wave>

thequilterslink 02-05-2010 03:02 PM

I don't think i have a favorite, i love lots of them, some i have made, some are on my wish list. One i really love, but have not made, due to curves is the drunkards path, someday i will make a pink and white one....someday :)

MaryStoaks 02-05-2010 03:02 PM

We have 6 kids and 8 grands living in Tacoma area. When we move back (someday) we'll have group quilting days at my house. We have a small Winnebago so there will be a bed for you.

mpspeedy 02-05-2010 03:11 PM

I like almost any pattern but most prefer to quilt on a wholecloth where the quilting stitch it's self makes the quilt. I prefer bright or pastel colors over stuff like Thimbleberries. The red and green combinations are always one of my favorites especially in the Baltimore Alblum modes. I like to let the colors and the size or theme of the prints dictate the pattern.

wesing 02-05-2010 04:49 PM

I love Storm at Sea. I've made a practice block, but I'm not there yet. I also love Bargello. We hope to do a small Bargello project soon.

thismomquilts 02-05-2010 05:36 PM

I love the Ohio Star, Churn Dash, and Log Cabin.

dglvr 02-05-2010 07:44 PM

I have 2 spare bedrooms MaryStoaks. 1 room for you and 1 for sewing. :thumbup: Which would also be your room. :lol:

quiltingruthie 02-06-2010 06:07 AM

Dresden Plate. I haven't made it yet but want to make it out of 30's fabrics.
