I design my own rather than follow something in a book (I have 3 books and haven't made anything from any of them). I find its quite easy to 'work out' what to do without one.<br />The hexagonal (grannies garden) type is very fiddly but like to use lots of different colours to modernize it. <br />Generally I just use the squares sewn together randomly an shabby chic kinda way.
