    I think you can chagne a little bit. But read the entire instructions. The quilt can't have any loops or other things that can get caught on IV polls. And the quilt has to hold up to industrial washing machines.

    Some variations are fine, if you go to their website, you can read the restrictions and rules for these quilts. There are also a lot of pictures of different quilts that have been sent in to them.

    Happy Sewing :D:D:D

    You have to use their fabric and their backing fabric. Apparently some people were substituting lesser quality backing fabrics. The new kits ask you to send back the packing slip that lists your fabrics.
    As to design, I think you can do it different. Just watch the amount of fabric you need-my last kit had fabric that was cut crooked and raveled (is that the right word?) when you handled it. I wouldn't want you to run out of fabric.
    You got a really cute kit!!
