I'm thinking Yellow Brick Road or the Star pattern by the same designer. I think almost every quilter has bought one of these two.

Mind you, it still doesn't answer the question but it sure gives a lot of insite as to what might have been the most bought pattern.
here's an interesting webs site that talks about the old quilts
Both of these links takes you to articles that are very interesting

SO far as I can tell, it might have been the Sunbonnet series.But when you talk about patterns does that also includes embroidery patterns? if so then check out this link.

it seems there is a huge difference between the oldest patterns used and the oldest patterns sold

in the microfilmed pages of a local newspaper in New Hampshire a few years after 1900. THE AMERICAN ART COMPANY sold hundreds of 12" quilt patterns for a ten cents each. I saw one as a kid in the 1930s.
At least some of the free newspaper quilting patterns featured in the Kansas City newspapers were small - like dear jane blocks.

Can you clalrify favorite/most made or best SELLER. There seems to be a stumbling block in the interpretation of the original question. My answer would be most popular, log cabin. Best seller yellow brick road.
