some quilters can see their way to drafting their own patterns and some cannot. what seems easy for one person is not necessarily so for another. just like some quilters make their quilts from patterns and some do not. i can draft my own so i rarely buy patterns but i know that others don't have the interest or inclination to draft patterns.... so for those folks luckily they can buy patterns.
it's a good thing that there are many choices available for all the individual quilters out there.
