Am I the only one who makes quilts using a pattern?

I like patterns too.......I don't wanna put all that work into, only to get to the end and find out I goofed something on calculating, lol. I see some of the beauties designes by the folks on here and would love to be able to do that......but just don't have it in me, lol.

I am just like you. I wouldn't know the first thing about designing my own quilt. I see patterns in magazines and on the computer that I think that I would like to make and just stick to them. I hope to one day make all the quilts that I have found and would love to make. there just doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day to do it. Little by little, I will get them done. I also love scrappy quilts, crazy quilts and bright colored quilts. Simple is good for me, but sometimes I try a pattern that I think might be beyond my capabilities and surprise myself by just going block by block and get it done. I seem to be getting better with every quilt I make. Whatever is comfortable for you just stick to it. they will all be beautiful.

i only use patterns - i have only made one table topper, 2 wallhangings - i am not good enough to design a quilt - and i also really like kits where the fabric is in there too - i am " color matching" challenged, and "design your own" challenged!

I use patterns only also, I may add sashing to enlager or play with the borders but to design my own pattern invloves math, right? I am math challenged. Somethimes my finished product is not quite like the original but that is a "design element!"
