Well, this is diffucult to say. Sometimes I see a pattern in a book that I like or an idea just comes to my head. The color of the fabric often "speaks" to me and it seems to be clear that for example a special kind of green MUST have these Welsh patterns or the pink HAS to be quilted with feathers. I don't know...I don't plan my quilts so much. The blue one of which you see the picture here is made with only one stencil.
I made this little quilt a few years ago and I'm not quite sure how long this took. I think about 4 weeks full time quilting or so.
