I love free patterns and I normally will print them off and when the 6x9 zip bags come in I fold and put them in there just like other single patterns and hang them on my peg board as projects to be. As far as the fabric, probably not and maybe close unless I just fall in love. Right now I am working on a quilt from a magazine and it is totally not the same colors or fabrics as they show. I just felt that the pattern needed to be lively and fresh where they used neutral colors.
