sometimes i see a pattern i love- then i have to find fabrics for it- sometimes i see fabric i love and have to decide on a pattern to use it for- so either way- both ways- just depends...but i am much more apt to buy fabrics i love- then decide what to do with them- i don't really use many commercial patterns

Both for me- I have been collecting different colors that I want to be theme, like the bubblegum pink one that I am working on now. I collected oranges for a while- Charismah has that one now to do the LAQ.

I have done both.... mostly I find fabric 1st and then what pattern I wanna do with the fabric I have. I get more of my fabrics now from rummage sales and clearance sales.. When I have found a pattern I wanted to do, then I purchased a fabric for that pattern I tend to spend more than I wanted to.. hehehe..

I pick the pattern first, because not all fabrics will work in all patterns. So pattern first, then fabrics keeping in mind who is getting the quilt, where it will be used, and what colors are in the room to be used in.
