I'm hopeless at following patterns exactly. Same goes for recipes, etc. And writing. I'd never get anything done because I invariably find I lack a specific ingredient/fabric/whatever and have to improvise. Plus I like designing, so I will tend to take an idea and use it tweaked to my own design. I've never really been one for following other people's rules! Though I do think the very first time you do something you need to follow at least some of the rules - after that you know which ones you can break!

I'm half way through the cushion covers - I should finish them today but will wait till the inner pads arrive on Monday before photographing.
