Hi!

I love making dresden plates, I try to work one into every project.

Do you guys have a favorite pattern or a fall back pattern?

I am a novice quilter so, I love to look at lots of patterns.

Thanks!

Afton

My favorite pattern is WeatherVane. I think I've done it in every color combination, quilt and table runner size. It can be very different depending on fabrics. Plus it's quick and easy when I need something in a hurry.

JenniePenny 05-17-2011 01:52 PM

My favorite pattern is always the next one that I decide to make. Then when I'm 3/4 of the way through, my wandering eye is already looking for my next favorite.

Prettiptibbs 05-17-2011 01:54 PM

So many to choose from but my favorite (because it goes together quickly) is the D9P

hobbykat1955 05-17-2011 02:02 PM

I love anything applique...just something abt cutting out those pices by hand..I machine sew....but want to try hand applique once I find the time.

There's something about stars and patriotic themes that just calls to me.

:XD: me too!

i also love the old fashioned 9 patch with a muslin block seperating them..

I have to agree with Jennie :D For me to answer, would be like picking one fchild in the family to be my favorite..... just can't. Nopers on that --- couldn't if I had too.

Smiles,
Julie

I really love intricate piecing. Kaleidoscoped blocks are a standby for me...I just love how they turn out! I'm also the sucker for tiny piecing. I'll make a twin size quilt out of 1" squares, swear I'll never do it again, and start something similar to it the next day. Right now I'm doing a queen size quilt using 2" half-triangle blocks. I hate it, swear I'll never do it again, and my quilt kit to make 4" courthouse steps for a throw just came in...I'll never learn, I just love the finished project too much. :)

dakotamaid 05-17-2011 02:25 PM

Stars, any kind, but am partial to Ohio star.:)

NY-Flaquilter 05-17-2011 02:42 PM

charlotte625 05-17-2011 02:47 PM

Love scrappy.log cabin.dresen,hexagon,9 patch......oh heck I like them all....................

OHSue 05-17-2011 02:55 PM

I am a pattern junkie, I play no favorites.
And the real question is my favorite I want to do, have done, or just like looking at the picture on the pattern?

Kitsie 05-17-2011 03:26 PM

If we're talking which one I would gladly do again, it's Aunt Sukeys Choice that I did for a GD

ann clare 05-17-2011 03:43 PM

Log cabin at the moment.

Sandee 05-17-2011 03:45 PM

Log cabin-hard to make a mistake................

QuiltnNan 05-17-2011 04:46 PM

snowball + 9-patch is one of my favorites as the blocks are so easy and they make a nice pattern when put together.

HEY! You just described me!

JCquilts 05-17-2011 05:20 PM

Needleturn Applique is my fav... it is a technique not a pattern, but I love it.

On my to do list are a couple of Baltimore Albums, a self designed fire quilt for my son, and a self designed archeology quilt for my daughter.

Jennifer22206 05-17-2011 05:20 PM

I don't have a favorite one, but my old standby that I fall back on if I need a quick quilt is the Churn Dash. I do love the Dresden Plates too. Can't pick a favorite.

runnerchicki 05-17-2011 06:10 PM

I like traditional blocks like log cabin, broken dishes, jacob's ladder, etc.

alikat110 05-17-2011 06:32 PM

Working on my 1st dresden plate. It is fast becoming my favorite. But truly, I've enjoyed every thing I've done so far.

Oh so true! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

4EVERquilt 05-17-2011 10:14 PM

My all time favorite is the log cabin! I've made other patterns, but always go back and make another log cabin.

Mumzbear 05-18-2011 02:55 AM

Depends on which day you ask me......always up to trying a new one. I love them all!

Sheree from Chicago 05-18-2011 02:58 AM

An amazing amount of piecing - but my favorite is avatar pic - Indian Orange Peel by Karen Stone

klc 05-18-2011 02:59 AM

I also love to work on different patterns and love each one I make. I usually don't make a pattern more than once or twice.

Buttons922 05-18-2011 03:15 AM

I love the Gutsy Geisha patterns by Joan Davis Quilt Corral Hill City South Dakota

DeeBooper 05-18-2011 03:40 AM

My favorite pattern is the one I am working on...no, wait,it's the next one I am going to do.

jaly3162 05-18-2011 04:07 AM

I like scrappy and that probably is why I like Turning Twenty!

deedum 05-18-2011 04:10 AM

MIne is broken dishes, also turning twenty! Just to mention a few of my favorites.

That's me, too. But I have always loved Log Cabin quilts, so guess that would be my favorite--so many many ways to use them in quilts.

I am like you I really like them all.I also love your saying IF GOD SAID IT ITS GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME.

Anna O 05-18-2011 04:37 AM

I really like log cabin. So many options with it.

Judi in Ohio 05-18-2011 04:41 AM

I love anything scrappy. The more fabrics the better. My favs are log cabin, and Bonnie Hunter patterns, I've made a bunch. Some I like better than others, but they are all interesting and make me expand what I do.

Love scrappy but am a crazy patch junky.

Happy Tails 05-18-2011 04:54 AM

I love the log cabin too. I love them all. My name is Wendy and I have an indicisive opinion lol

jahaper 05-18-2011 04:55 AM

My favorite pattern is the stack n whack or OBW's.

sfguimaraes 05-18-2011 04:57 AM

For me it is log cabin... because of the tradition intrinsic to it, because of the variation of patterns you can get playing with shade and light colors... it is tons of patterns through one block! :wink:

Bluequilter 05-18-2011 05:18 AM

My favorite is the dresdan plate, but I love all kinds of stars as well.
