I love them all but I have a tendency to take the older type patterns and then add my own twist to them. I've painted on them, used my computer for pictures of family or other things for memory quilts. I made a quilt for my middle grandson with dogs (Aussies) cause he was so nuts about them. I downloaded pictures from a breeder with their permission--I've been downloading pictures of John Deer tractors for my oldest grandson as he has a love for them to make him a quilt. I like designing my own quilts, but will use a pattern once in a while.
