I am looking for something unique too. I have a hard time designing my own quilts. Not sure my brain works that way. I agree a lot of the patterns are just a twist of the old patterns. I take a design and change it. Do you have software that you use to design your quilts? I think this is what I need. Love your quilt you posted do you sell the pattern? My favorite magazine is Austrailian Patchwork and quilting. It has lots of free patterns and things you just don't see around here. It is kinda expensive with the shipping. My subscription comes thru Canada and it makes it cheaper.
