I design quilts and sometimes find the pattern writing to be the hardest part of the whole project. What makes sense to me as a quilter of 10 years may not make sense to someone just starting out.
I try to put a lot of picture diagrams if possible in my patterns for this reason. It would be wonderfully helpful (but not really practical) to have someone else make each quilt before I publish the pattern. :)
