Is there one block that you love to make more than any other? One that keeps drawing you back to be done in different colors each time?

I like Log Cabin. Now I have only done one so far, but it is calling me again. I also like Four Patch Surrounded. I have done about 6 of that, and now Hole in the Barn Door. I like good sized pieces that compliment the fabric and lets it speak.

I personally love stars, any kind! I also love Hole in the barn door, or churn dash.

I like Hunter's Star block and Log Cabin. House blocks are my favorite pictorial blocks.

I like bowties. The are pretty easy and look great in any color combination or just scrappy.

Log cabin, there are so many different layouts that each one is different.
After reading Underground Railroad, I have made them with red centers, yellow centers, and black centers.
