I design my own quilts so I always sketch my blocks, layout, etc.

I do sketch and colour some quilt patterns before trying them. Sometimes the sketch is enough and I change my mind. It does help me decide if I want to try it in fabric.

yes mame I do. I draw my quilts out and color them. I have them when I first started quilting in the early 70's I have a couple of the quilts as well from back then.
