    I'm a visual person too.
    More than once I have even stapled paper together to show how a block goes together.

    took me all afternoon yesterday!? I will just make it in two colors plus different colored stars. Not the actual colors in the pattern but might help to go patch by patch better this way :oops:
    No way for me to follow a written instruction without picture - a lot of pictures........

    does that answer your question

    I am totally visual. Instructions confuse me. I would much rather see something and try to reproduce it in my own way.

    I am a visual person, but I often will attempt a pattern because I have enough background knowledge/experience that I should be able to figure it out (I hope). :wink:

    I am a visual person also, that's why I have a hard time making a mystery quilt because I can't see the end result.

    Often I need only the picture. I think I am a visiual learner because I shy away from mystery quilts too.

    Pictures definitely, but even better, and in addition to, -- I like to watch someone work whatever it is.

    I don't have to have a picture, but it's easier with one, especially if the instructions aren't very clear or I'm just not getting it :roll:

    I agree about mystery quilts
    I never like the end result
    I can follow the directions but I always hate the fabric combinations after it is finished.
    but I find most people are more visual
