Do you have a go to Quilting pattern?

One of my favourite patterns is the Baptiste Fan. I love how a quilt looks being quilted with this pattern. I am quilting a mini (another) and used this pattern also on larger quilts. I don`t want to over use it but if I can`t think of anything else it becomes my go to pattern.
The blocks are from scraps that I had left from pie in the sky I ended up making up this block with the strips that I had left. It is really a mishmash of scraps.

I have part of the star quilt together I got over the hurdle of putting those boarders on that are inside the quilt. I am going to add another white boarder and then another of the Hydrangea boarder to make is a queen. DH and I laid this part on the bed and the star just fits perfectly over the queen bed, he even wants one of these! LOL

  2. I don't blame your DH for wanting this quilt, it's a beauty! Your mini quilt is a great way to use leftovers, isn't it?

  3. I learned that pattern as ocean waves. Among Native American quilters, it is probably the most used.

  4. Baptist fan is my favourite too! It gives a lovely effect and is so easy and comfortable to do. I pin the quilt all over with safety pins and then mark the quilt as I go along. It is great to do whilst watching TV. I rest the quilt on the coffee table and sew on my knee.
    Your star quilt is beautiful!
