I will end up making it "my way"
I like simplicity, and hate long winded directions.
We must be sisters! I almost always "fix" patterns. I can't tell you how many times I've redrafted patterns and rewritten the instructions because the designer over complicated it. I even fixed the D9P!! Why make a block and then cut it up when you can just strip piece it to start with.

My grandma taught me to follow all the rules of proper methods for making a quilt. Then I found out all grandma's don't have the same rules. :lol

That is probably why I end up modifying most patterns or making up my own.
