Years ago, I made an angel quilt. The angels heads were just plain circles. No facial features and no hair. I added some curly sort of hair like fibers from the craft section of a store. It was a cute finish.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01816001950084090576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758475602275745268.post-37255090773746466492019-07-18T11:24:17.955-05:002019-07-18T11:24:17.955-05:00Those joyous angels are from your heart (and the f...Those joyous angels are from your heart (and the fact that they wear plaid is so Julie)! I like to put my own twist on most things, too (unless I am testing a pattern for someone, and then I have to be very firm with myself). <br />I don't do many SALs anymore--especially if it is a mystery. Quilting time is too rare and precious to spend it on something I don't know if I will love.<br />I love how you follow your heart and do what calls to you!<br />Janet O.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05083607398709252597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758475602275745268.post-35967941220857534462019-07-17T21:29:14.559-05:002019-07-17T21:29:14.559-05:00I think you are very creative, and your ideas pop ...I think you are very creative, and your ideas pop up for variations that make you happy!<br />This is an awesome angel quilt!Quilter Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16870660916547202929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758475602275745268.post-83573372588596651272019-07-17T15:55:40.629-05:002019-07-17T15:55:40.629-05:00Very cute!

Not much of a rebel here ;-) but admire the extra thought you put into your quilts. I'm on a mission of 1000 HST's at the moment for my Bonnie quilt.

Great way to use them up and such an appealing result. My take on most designers is that the thrill for them is to inspire.

I seldom follow a pattern as the designer saw it. It's more fun to make it my own.

I ...Your angels are adorable and I love the border. I think most pattern designers are excited to see their designs tweaked to the makers taste. They probably go through a lot of the same things you do - tweaking and rearranging - until they have a finished idea, too. And then they write up how to do it...so maybe it seems more organized than your system, but I bet it's not...at least not for some of them! But I'm with you on making things my own. Often I make a quilt larger or different colors or something (quilt along or not) because I don't want all my quilts to be cookie cutter copies of the original.

Following some are certainly easier than others. The only reason to follow a pattern exactly is if someone is going to grade you on how well you copied the original. Since that is never going to happen I'm glad you are enjoying your time with needle and thread. I look forward to seeing what you do with the angel's hair.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14423024947233260195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758475602275745268.post-86219776956035110962019-07-16T12:40:14.022-05:002019-07-16T12:40:14.022-05:00My angles could not be straight in a long line.
