I have always ( jokingly) let people know I am Way to undisciplined to follow someone's pattern. ( unless of course I am testing a pattern for someone) if someone brings me a magazine, book, pattern, picture of a quilt and asks - can/ will you make me This quilt? I tell them no. I can/ will make you a quilt something like that....that theme, maybe that style, maybe that colorway, but it will not be that quilt. Even on the rare occasions I pick up a kit I change out fabrics and change things.
