Yup. I'm doing that now with a quilt pattern, and doing it in completely different fabric choices and it looks different. It's one of those patterns where the 1/4" seam has to be exact each and every time, so the practice is good for me. And there is a quilt I made for my daughter where I didn't read the pattern correctly so every bock was messed up, but no one saw it but me. I'd like to do another just to prove to myself that, yes I can read.
