I'm right there with ya, friend. I'm as old as the hills & not only do I have to use a pattern to make a quilt, I have to use a recipe to make things I've cooked a zillion times. For some reason, my little pea brain just WON'T remember that stuff (tho I can remember every teacher I had in school & other such useless pieces of info). If I stray from a pattern, it's because I've made a boo boo. That's as close to "original" as I get.
