I recently was excited to see an article online that was about 14 easy quilts for beginners. I went right to it, all ready to learn new patterns. You can imagine my disappointment when each of the 14 was the same exact pattern of simple 5" squares sewn together side by side in all different color patterns. Changing the colorways is NOT a new or different pattern in my opinion. Put them together differently, add sashing, stand them on their ends... change something.. it will be a new pattern. Go from greens to purples, it's still 5" squares sewn together side by side. I don't care if you do change the name from Spring Fresh to Fall Asters. LOL There, now I've vented too.
Oh, and just a word of warning for those of you who don't like lots of patterns and busy blocks. Don't go look when I post pics of "Butterflies In Olivia's Garden" cuz it surely is all those things. Lots of smiles and lots of hugs for all of you here on the quilting board. Thanks for being part of my life.
