You should be able to draft it out on graph paper. I use 4 to the inch graph paper all the time. Have around 50 graph notebooks with designs in them. I've been at this for 44 years and have always used the notebooks to sketch ideas.

I am almost finished with the Happy Camper quilt I made and I designed it on Excel and then created a cut list from the spreadsheet.
This picture is a wall hanging I made with Swedish Weaving.

Why not take a piece of tracing paper and then transfer that to 4 sq. per inch graph paper. (Put it up to the window to transfer it.) Then you can break it down to a pattern, using 4 sq per 12" total block. Often you will find this to be quite easy. Just do one little square at a time and hopefully you will surprise youself with a pattern you find useable! THIS is how I often take something I like and go with the flow! I teach a class and they too find it interesting to do this type of 'copying'.
Good luck!
Good luck!

Not a bit. I do the same thing. I will see any little thing and wonder how I could make it into a block. Or wonder how it would look in a certain color way. It is an obsession. And I don't want to be cured!
