Although I am a fan of so many quilts, so little time, I have made several log cabins (4+) and I know I have made about 10 OBW's. My OBW's have different fabrics, sizes, etc., but when it comes down to it they are OBW's. Other than that I usually make just one of each pattern. I do, however, want to make another Bento Box because I have some great fabrics for it. Oh, do string quilts count? I have made countless ones of those for giving.

I made the same table runner this fall about 8 times. Other table runners I've repeated many times too. I have made 4 trips around the world, 3 log cabins, 4 rail fences. I have a super simple baby quilt I've made more than 6 times. Guess you could call it my go-to pattern. I agree in theory about so many quilts, so little time. Honestly, if I have enjoyed the process and results, I don't mind repeating the pattern. Love to see how different it looks every time with changing up the fabrics and themes.

I keep doing the nine patch or twelve inch blocks. I have made 3 of the nine patch and one with twelve inch blocks. Please be more adventurous than I. I am new to the long arm quilting and quilting on the machine. I have hand quilted for years and was never afraid to try something new.

What is the highest number of times that you have executed one pattern? I have found, in looking over my list of quilts, that I have done Log Cabin twice, Trip Around the World four times, and it seems that I have fallen in love with Boxed Squares, because I have made this one 10 times. It is so easy and can still be impressive if a lot of different colors are used.
I've done several personal sized turning 20s. Ends up being turning 8 or 9. I think the end product looks so different according to fabric. And, they are so easy

When I need a quick quilt, I always seem to fall back on the easiest one, Irish Chain. I have made five so far, and two TAW just because I cut too much fabric for the first one. One was a Queen, and the other lap size. The only difference was the outer border, one was blue, and the other had a yellow outer border.
