Default Are You A Once Only...Or Over And Over

I recently looked at the list of quilts I've made and found that I have done Boxed Squares thirteen times. I love the pattern (probably because it is so very easy).

Are you like me, or do you like to make every quilt from different patterns?

Some patterns are great to have for a relatively quick quilt, or to adapt for small variations. Others are a one off, either because they were complicated, challenging or were to learn a technique, which after learning I decided nope not again.

I've made several designs more than once, sometimes varying the setting, always changing the look with different fabrics.

I have done some designs more than once. I usually change up the size, settings, and colors of fabrics to add another twist to it all.

I am drawn to more complex designs so I am much more of a one and done.

I try to learn something new and challenge my skill set on each one I make, so I haven't repeated patterns. I don't have any occasions I can think of necessitating a quick quilt.

We have a few patterns that we have done several times, but we also like to branch out and try something new. There are several patterns that we have only done once.
