How about if I can't decide? I seem to go thru "phases". Years ago I went thru a "Trip Around the World" phase. Then a "Dresden Plate" phase. I had a pretty serious "9-Patch" phase. Then more recently I went thru a "Yellow Brick Road" phase & now I'm in a "Jelly Roll Race" phase. So I seem to like those the best when Im in that phase. I also made a quilt from indigo reproductions fabrics for my niece's wedding (back in the 90's) that was then featured in Quilt magazine that was a favorite.

"Fireworks" by Kyoko Honda. Pattern was from QNM, April 2001. Hers was made from kimono silks, mine from orientals.

Coincidence: in the article about the WV man who won the quilt contest (there is a thread about that on QB), he shows a "Fireworks" quilt and says that it is his favorite, too.

That's like asking which child is your favorite. I think it is an unfair question. Each one of my quilts is my favorite for a different reason. Now, we may have a favorite technique.....

My first pieced quilt is my favorite - it was the easiest, but still the hardest. The title of the block was "Antique Tiles" from Quilter's Cache. Each block told a story of my life and the important people in my life. Each color or fabric design meant something. And then, I wrote a book on what each block meant and what each square in the block meant. For example, my state of Minnesota. I used fabric that was designed for Minnesota, the loon, the Ladyslipper, the pines, the Walleye, the deer and then for my Minnesota chapter in the book, I had the official Blueberry Muffin recipe, how Minnesota got its name, where I lived and things like that. So when I have passed this mortal coil, someone, somewhere will lay my quilt on the floor and with my book will learn absolutely everything about 9-11, Fourths of July, Echo Trail, Amana Calico, Waterloo, Wisconsin, 1936, 1938 (the years my husband and I were born). All of these blocks (35 of them) were designed around my family, my experiences, my grandkids, their hobbies, etc., it's all there. The book ended up to be around 135 pages, with pictures, what the weather was like when I was sewing the quilt, what the headlines of the day were, how the Twins were doing, what the Vikings were doing. When I die, in lieu of flowers, this quilt will be on my casket and then given to my granddaughter. I laughed, I cried, I so bonded with this quilt. Oh, yah, there are mistakes, but they are my mistakes. I don't think anyone could notice them but me, but it is my treasure, my quilt, my life, my favorite. My Memory Quilt. Edie

I love the winter wonderland quilt (pattern by crabapple hill). It's a combination of hand embroidered snowman and red and white pieced blocks. It makes me smile everytime I take it out for the season. My second favorite is the grandmother's flower garden quilt--always makes me think of my Grandma.

My favorite quilt is usually the one I am working on, but I do LOVE machine applique quilts.

I'm with both of you. The most recent one I finished was my Uncle Sam Twister.

I definitely have favorites - and I do try to keep them (although I have a wish list of people who would like a quilt...) - my two are my black and white Think outside the Block by Toadusew - great spin on the log cabin - and my handpieced Celtci Illusions quilt by Karen Combs. I LOVE how she takes complex designs, redrafts them and makes them easy to piece.

Before string quilts were popular, I used strips from about 5 quilts my mom and I created together. That quilt is the sum of all the others, and I just enjoy the memories!
