Anna, like you, I often start with a pattern, but just can't seem to make myself follow all the directions!

Just wondering if people follow patterns more or do they
design their own quilts.

I do not think I have ever made a quilt exactly as shown in
a purchased pattern. I start our with the pattern but then
end up changing things so that it is totally different. I
think it is because I can not stand to think of other quilts
out in the world exactly like mine.

What do you do? with your quilts and projects? How do you design / develop your quilts?

Do you follow the pattern?
go off on your own?
Do you follow your own path or stick to convention/ tradition?

What is your inspiration?




WHY IS THE FIDDLER ON THE ROOF SONG... TRADITION running thourgh my head?
