I have this ability to basically look at a picture of a quilt block and can figure out how to make it and it's true to say that, while we all may use the same pattern, the way we turn it or fabrics we use makes the most common pattern unique. But usually someone else already figured out the pattern, so we are just coping what someone else has already thought of.
But tonight for the first time, I actually designed my own pattern!
I am using a common idea, but how to make it is all my own.
At least I hope it is.
I've purposely not looked on-line to see how others have created their pattern so that I didn't unknowingly copy someone else's idea. Of course after 30 years of quilting, I've got a lot of impressions in my memories to go from. But I still don't think my way of creating the block is going to be like anyone else's.
Hint....I used 2 basic patterns and created mine.
The Log Cabin and the Flower Pot quilt patterns.
I'll work on it some more and hopefully by Monday, I'll have the beginnings of a quilt ready to show you.
The other thing I'm looking at is how to submit a design for fabric. This one is way over my head, but I think my daughter and I have some great ideas.
I'm really forward to seeing what happens with these two ideas!
