This is your way of quilting and it makes you happy so stick with it!
I never cut my borders to size always cut larger, sew then trim. this way no stretching and it doesn't matter if with the gran or not!
Hi, I think you hit the nail on the head. I really never noticed that I was that way. I do have definite ideas for fabrics and colors and prefer to pick it out myself. I do make changes in most things I make. If I feel another color and family will make it stand out more I do my own thing. If I don't like the shape of a applique flower or critter, I change it a bit. Guess that is how you make it your own. I appreciate everyones imput. You just think your the only one that feels that way. LOL
