Since there are several gazillion different blocks it would probably be hard to totally invent a new one, especially if you are using simple geometry. 'It's not what you do,it's the way that you do it, and that's what gets results' in the words from a song (Banana-Rama & the Fun Boy Three) Don't sweat it, find what you like and play with it. We all make 'traditional blocks' along the way.

No, it is not. I quilt because I enjoy it. I enjoy the process of picking the patterns, selecting the fabric, washing and ironing it, cutting it, piecing, and yes, even binding it. Notice I didn't say quilting it - my DH does that for me because I don't enjoy it. I took my first class in 1976 and I'm still quilting and I still don't create my own blocks. I may change patterns or create a quilt from one I've seen in a picture but creating blocks is something I don't want to do. Take whatever part of this process you enjoy and do it.

completely okay! There are so many options for quilt patterns, you'll have loads to keep you busy. One of my favorite sites for beginning stuff is Gen X Quilters Block Library -- she links tutorials, labeled by photo, that are available on the web for free. Not necessarily printable patterns, and not whole quilts, but a great place to try out different blocks and learn them because of the tutorials.
Then for patterns/tutorials for whole quilts, Moda Bake Shop is great; they have a lot of different type of patterns/tutorials, not just quilts, but you can easily search or sort their posts to find things you might like to do.
Here are the links ---

Hope that helps

Originally posted by mlbourbI am not creative enough to create my own quilt block, is that a bad thing?
Being very left-brained myself, I can truly relate to your thought that you are not creative enough. However, I would never ever buy a quilt kit for myself. (I know we're not supposed to ever say never, but this is my belief) My joy and creative expression comes from selecting my colors and fabrics. Also, I rarely use a pattern and have never ever followed a quilt pattern exactly--I always have to put my own spin on things because I want my quilts to be unique. A few times I have made quilts from quilt panels or kits that were gifted to me, but again I made them uniquely. My friends and family often tell me how creative I am, and I've learned that if three or more unrelated people tell you something about yourself then you must consider that there's some truth to what they say.
Keep your eyes open and you are likely to see something that will inspire you to create a new quilt block. Trust me, if I can, anybody can.
