i guess i mostly design my own quilts. i look around and see elements i like - a border here, there a block, a technique i'd like to learn. sometimes i'll really like the look of a quilt and head off in that direction, but rarely do i follow cut lists or anything.
then i sketch it out and consider who it is for while i think about what kind of fabrics they would like or that i want to work with.
i am currently working on a frank lloyd wright pattern from a book and i am mostly hating it. but! it's in preparation for a quilt i really want to make for a friend in the prairie style, so utility in all things
