    Are we talking to make ourselves or that we admire? I greatly admire the Double Wedding Ring but have never made one. Anything with stars take my eye, too. My "go to" is the 9 patch. Quick and easy and can be done so many ways: traditional, traditional with sashing, traditional but set on-point, Friendship Star, Irish Chain. I'm told that it was also my mother's favorite. It's attractive, versatile and easy.

    Mine also is log cabin. The ones I made were wedding gifts for my children way back when. I really should make one for my use.

    I really like the Grandmother's Fan. It can be embellished for a really rich look, although probably not particularly laundry-worthy. (Love crazy quilts)
    My mother made Trip around the World quilts, for everyone in the family. At the time I didn't appreciate the amount of work that went into them. She stitched by hand, and this was the days before rotary cutters, so I guess each square was cut and sewn individually? She had a lot more patience than I have.

    That sounds lovely! Can't wait to see it. Yes, I adore that pattern!

    I would have to pick Ohio Star. So many good variations. I also love Storm at Sea, though it is not a single block.

    Irish chain. I've only made one, but I loved it.

    Log Cabin for me, followed closely by Hunter Star.

    Yolajean, your pinwheel quilt with the cats is amazing! Love it!

    All stars and pinwheels. I love them all to much to choose just one.
