I make very few quilt projects from a pattern. I like taking something I like and planning how it will go as I work. The first piece I did this with was a wallhanging/lap size piece that I started with the main idea of a heart shaped wreath. From there I just put other things together as I went along. I did use the same fabrics throughout so there is continuity. Another piece I call my 'Eclectic Quilt'. I took blocks and pieces of old work from my great grandmother and orphan blocks and put them together with groups of 2" blocks. The borders contained them and I love how it turned out. I am putting together a handkerchief quilt now. I am quilting the squares as I go by hand and will put them together with whatever sets of squares needed when I get to that point. I have never thought of myself as creative (as in thinking up a pattern all on my own) but, I so love creating a quilt by the seat of my pants! :lol: How do you approach your quilt projects?
