I don't know why, but 'Jacobs ladder' has always been one of my favorite blocks. I love what you can do with a stack of them and just like making them. Pineapple blocks would be next for visual appeal ( although I dislike making them, I love them when done)

I seem to keep making square in a square. Sometimes the center is 4", sometimes it is off center and once I made them wonky !! I also adore BQ & BQ2. They can look terrific with large prints and they go together so quickly.

My go to favorite is the 8 pointed star made from hst units. It's found its way into many of my quilts. I like it expanded into a carpenter's star layout. And my second favorite is shoo fly. Two I don't care for much are Dresden plate/fan or the ones that end up looking like a swastika.
