Have you ever made the same quilt or other project twice?

I've made several baby quilts with the alternating snowball/9-patch blocks on point. It's fast (cut it out one night, sew it the second night and quilt it the third night)and easy. Of course, each of them were made with a different style of fabric.

I made a French Roses quilt 4 years ago for my mother and obviously forgot what it was like making it. I've gone ahead and am doing one for myself now. The first one was twin sized and this is an oversized queen. I'll probably have this quilted on a LA. since it's so big and since I have arthritis in my hands.

We've repeated Potato Chip, Yellow Brick Road, Friendship Star, Turning Twenty, Alternating 4-Patch, Cheaper by the Dozen, and Rail Fence. The only time we didn't change the colors was on the Friendship Stars; they were for 2 of our nieces who are cousins and best friends, and they like to get things alike.
Of course, those are all beginner-type patterns. I guess we should move out of our comfort zone a bit. It is nice to be familiar enough with a pattern that you can make one up pretty quickly.
Merryquilter - the potato chip quilt is a simple two-fabric quilt where you frame a Fabric A square with Fabric B strips, and vice-versa. There are cutting instructions here:

We have finished three of them. If you click on my name and look at my topics, one of them is "Cooper's quilt." Also our first two finished quilts were Potato Chips.

I've made the same quilt more than once, and each is original and different from the prior simply because the fabric makes it so..........plus I probably screwed up in different places on each! :lol:
