    I take patterns as a starting point and work from there. There are no mistakes, only design decisions.

    Almost every project, in one way or another. I hope to post the results of a wing in the next couple of weeks!

    I either make my own pattern or change other patterns to suit what I am trying to make. I find that process to be a lot of the fun in making a quilt.

    Frequently. I combine or change things and add as I go as an example see my post: http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-111001-1.htm

    All the time! Almost every quilt, I change something, IF I am following a pattern.

    Is there another way? I have never followed the pattern to the letter. I use it as a guide, mostly I see something I like and then improve on it for my taste.

    Hello

    That is exactly what I am doing now, and what I did for the last quilt that I made!
