    Most often I start with the fabric or at least the colors in mind. Then I go from there.

    I usually start with an idea or see a block I like. Then it's on to the graph paper to draw it and see if it works. After that it's time to start pulling fabrics out of my stash. And the rest takes care of it's self.

    I get ideas when I see fabrics.

    The person or purpose for the quilt, then the colors, the fabric and finally the pattern.

    Many times I choose my fabrics first and then come up with a pattern that would highlight them best.
