I also love scrappy quilts, crazy quilts and bright colored quilts. Simple is good for me, but sometimes I try a pattern that I think might be beyond my capabilities and surprise myself by just going block by block and get it done. I seem to be getting better with every quilt I make. Whatever is comfortable for you just stick to it. they will all be beautiful.
I am glad you all wrote. I don't feel so bad any more. Now I see I'm not alone in using a pattern. But I think I need to do what Aquarius said and go beyond my capabilities. I'm not sure about Y seams yet. I've read the board enough to know they are hard and that scares the dickens out of me. Thank you everyone who responded.
