many people when they make quilts (even if they follow a pattern) still give the quilt a name of their own---personalize it---seldom could you really find the pattern from the name a person gives their quilt- unless they designed the pattern and are trying to market it.
i seldom use commercial patterns for a quilt- although i may incorporate some components (such as a stained glass block)in my quilt-
even when i do use someone's pattern i put my own spin on it-
the 'man-cave' quilt i posted pics of recently everyone has been ooohing & ahhhing over is named----'sunset at the cabin'
doing a search of that would not find you anything close to my quilt-
i don't think that is (uncommon)
i generally don't put the name of the quilt on my post because then people do go looking for it & i wind up getting tons of messages - some even telling me i was (deceiving) or posted it WRONG because when they did a search they did not find it---
so, i will more than likely seldom share the name i give a quilt- i guess when i do share the name i need to also stress in the post that searching for it will not be successful...
