Is Anyone Else Guilty of Doing This?
#13
I tend to make a pattern more than once if it is a pattern I really like. I don't do well making the same pattern right after another though. That really bores me. I recently made two sets of identical quilts for twin beds. Drove me crazy by the time I finished.
Generally though, if I make a pattern I like, I can see it indifferent fabric and want to give it a try.

For the most part I only do a pattern one time unless I find some fabric that I love and it would only work in a pattern that I've already done, and that has only happened once. This year I'm going against that rule and making 5 Christmas table toppers for my children and grandchildren. They are all using the same pattern but different fabric to match the recipients likes. They only take about 4 hours start to finish so that is due able in a couple days.

Lately, when I have been quilting, it seems I have to make several of the same quilt pattern. Although they are more time consumming than difficult, I have had to make about 12 rag quilts. It seems one person sees one and then they want one and another person sees that one, and so on and so on. I am tired of making these right now but have several I have to complete. Just wondered if I am the only one who finds themselves in a rut?

Yes, I make multiples of the same pattern. After I'm done, I wonder what it would look like if I switched the lights for the darks, or rotated the block, or made the block smaller etc, etc, etc. Playing with it in EQ7 is not the same, even though that would make way more sense.
By the way, why would you feel guilty? There's nothing wrong with this!
