Which comes first...the fabrics or the pattern?
#1
My stash is growing weekly. (When I bring home new fabric or receive it in the mail it feels like I ate chocolate!!). I Have downloaded lots of patterns and have so many books but I am getting confused about what fabrics should go with what patterns. How do you all figure this out?

Hello. Go my 'My Profile' at the top of the page, open it and way down on the page is your location. You can change it there. You may have to save changes.
I have to know who I'm making a quilt for, choose the feature fabric that suits that person , then find a pattern and back up fabrics.

I have alot of patterns and a very little stash. So I will find a pattern and than find the fabric that goes with it. Because of how small my stash is I normaly have to go out and get it. I only buy what I need for a project with only a small amount of extra for mistakes. The rare time I don't mess things up cutting it out, I have stash builder. Normaly only 1/4 or 1/2 yard. So you see why I have to buy as I go.
