Thank you. I am glad you appreciate all that work. I actually drew those designs on freezer paper, cut them out and ironed them onto the fabric of choice, cut around the paper adding seam allowances and snipping the curves. Then appliqueing them onto the background. If you wanted to create your own, just draw to your best ability and do the same thing. You will be amazed at how wonderful they come out. Even childrens drawings work as they do the primative thing without even being taught. Or some have used color books to get their designs. I just happen to draw mine and am also an artist and paint. I got the ideas from quilts from the past in books that show similar designs if you look them up. There are some books with patterns similar you could use also.
