    Hi…I would have to say …Zippling! I absolutely loved that design and it came as a total surprise to me that I actually was able to complete a whole section with that design when doing the Wonky Block quilt. Apart from that I liked the Whole Cloth and would not mind doing more practice around feather designs as they still don't come that easy to me…at least not freehand.

    Cubing, matrix, pebbling, Overlapping triangles! I love these most because they are easy for me to quilt on a larger scale. My very vey favorite is coffee beans though!

    I'm a big fan of paisley and trapped paisley. They are fun to stitch, and I love the look of them.

    Goldilocks is another favorite, along with stippling and loopy line.

    Yeah, I think I like the ones that I learned to do well, but I also think I learned to do them well because I like the way they look! If I learned how to do feathers well, they would be high on my list.

    I'm about to do Matrix on a quilt, and I bet if it looks good, it'll also become one of my favorites!

  6. Number one on my short list is Flowing Leaves. I tend to do art quilts that incorporate leaves in the image and this makes a great filler motif that reflects the theme. Because I return to it again, again it naturally flows while I am executing it. When I want contrasting textures I turn to Goldilocks and her sister designs – anything that I can sneak in between the flowing lines. Note the word FLOW and how it repeats in my comment. It is the Zen of the pattern, the tranquility it creates in both appearance and when stitching it that makes a pattern a favorite with me.

  7. Pointy Paisley, Modern Art, Ocean Current, Pebbles in Stream, after that the names are little more jumbled/less remembered. I'm loving spirals, pom poms, there's that new one that I don't know the name of but love how easy it is.

    Paisley does come very naturally to me. But I have to admit I had fun quilting the triangle paisley.
