Yes, sure do! I will follow a pattern if it's "different" from what I'm comfortable with, but after that, (and as is often the case) when I make the same quilt I might alter it since I now have a mental "experience" picture.
Then there are all the "left over" parts to work into something else, because I always make "extra" blocks....just is case.
It reminds me of when I did crochet work and knitting. Always had left over balls of thread and yarn!
