It's kind of like doing quilt club blocks, but you know what? You can still make it your own & use the blocks doing your own design & even adding your own fabrics to it. That way, it's not just like everyone else's. Now, if you do it just like the pattern, or shop says, at the end, when you put it altogether, then yes, it will be like anyone else's, that does it that way. The trick is, use your own inspiration & come up with your own original! I try to do this with any of my quilt projects...
