First of all, welcome to the board from a fellow quilter (this one is in HOT WI!). I, too, prefer to use patterns. Design just isn't my strong suite so I leave it to those who do it much better. But it's just whatever you want to do. There's no right or wrong. And believe me... there's no quilt police allowed 'round these parts! LOL! Just enjoy!!!
