Favourite quilt block in antique quilts?

Whats your favourite block used in antique quilts?do you have a favourite?

there are so many blocks in quilts, I love corn & beans, I love 54-40 or fight, I love so many but over and over again the quilts that catch my eye are more often than not pinwheels in some shape or form. I dont know if its possible to have a favourite but the humble pinwheel seems to attract my attention all the time

Applique...or 'fancy' dresden plates. That's what I think I'm going to do with my 30's..mentioned in the other topic.

I'm drawn to Applique, Ocean Waves patterns, Feathered stars,Tree blocks, Mariner's compasses...so many..I can't pick one!

Applique is my favorite..... but would love to experiment more........

I seem to gravitate to stars and log cabin blocks. But, lately am doing curved piecing. Currently have the urge to get "Winners Bouquet" book w/templates by Atknson Designs. Those who know me know I am a scrappy person - since a child when we used quilts made from Grandpa's old suits. I have so much fabric, have been trying to downsize and am currently making log cabin blocks with Marti Mitchell's log cabin ruler & 2 1/2" strips. When I get this pile done I am planning to use 1 1/2" strips with those 4" appliqued hearts as centers mixed with reglular LC blocks. We'll see how that works for me. LOL. Cindy

I like the simpler antique patterns like Shoofly and Churn dash. Just remind me of simpler times I guess.

I love to see lovingly made quilts of almost any pattern. I am wild about crazy quilts.

I was feeling like the odd-ball until I read TxMary's post. Those are my favorite old time patterns. I do love the old appliques too and 9 patch.

Ok so I like applique (hence my whig rose quilt) and I like the simple blocks and I like trees and feathered stars nd dont forget school houses and baltimore albums and and and and - oh someone shove a quilt block in my mouth and shut me up
