Getting Side Tracked

I fully intended to work on my flower garden quilt but got side tracked instead doing a small wall hanging from "The Quilter(Special edition) 2013. Out side my door there is room to display pictures or wall hangings, so d ecided to make a wall hanging for August from the book mentioned above. Th e book says Sunflower banner which is 20 inches wide by 34 1/2 inches long. It is just one huge Sunflower with stem/four leaves. They have heart sha ped leaves but I want real looking leaves, so will make my own. The flower is pieced and the stems/leaves appliqued and I plan on making it just a li ttle bit wider too. For some unknown reason I always change each quilt pro ject so it is not exactly like the pattern. Is this just a "me" thing or d o you other quilters do this too? Sandy$ in Idaho

No it isn't just you, doesn't matter if it is sewing, diy, whatever, I always change it to my liking. The pattern is there for guidance and is a starting point and not a finishing point!

Well said, Janner. That's exactly how I feel, too.
