Welll I guess there's lots of us "drafting." I look at pic of quilts, see if I can identify the blocks that make it and go from there. Sometimes I can figure it out but if not...on to the next quilt. I buy books ONLY if there are at least three quilts I want to do otherwise books are just eye candy.
Also...looking at finished quiltis is a great TEST to check my color combos. Sometimes my brain has a short circuit and colors that I think will look good together with a swatch test is just not right. I'm doing that w/fab for bargello...now I just may have to buy a kit for that.
