Mkay...I know this may be a touchy subject but I'm new to the world of quilt patterns and such. I've sewn for a long time. Drafting things on graph paper. So.....what's the parameters for using blocks?
Like, anyone can make a nine patch. It's not hard to come up with, right? What about a pinwheel? An applique basket? Bear claw? You may not be able to imagine those in your mind...but if you SAW it...you could probably figure it out. So, are you doing anything "bad" by liking something, and then making it? Is there a quilting rulebook somewhere?
