I must be a lot like you. I am not very creative but my daughter sure is. I go to her for a lot of ideas. I have a really hard time with colors in a quilt and can't see to come up with my own that I like. So when I see quilt/pattern/colors that I really like, I will try to copy it as close as possible. I also find myself using a of kits because the colors go so well together. I can do others things well...like the actual sewing/quilting so I feel talented in that way. We all have our strengths & weaknesses. Enjoy what you do.
