I also dread those words 'Quilt as Desired' - but I suppose that since quilting is such an individual thing, it is easier for pattern makers to say that. Its kind of a no-win situation; if they suggest quilting, some won't be able to execute it, some won't like it, etc.
I love those fabrics, and if it were another pattern I might seriously consider continuing with the 'curly' theme I see in several of them. That particular pattern has so much going on with the changes of size in the blocks, I'm not sure 'fancy' (for lack of a better word only) quilting would show up very well. That, of course, is based on the picture of the pattern which isn't in the actual fabrics - seeing them put together could change everything :D
Yep - I'm pretty sure that's why they say 'Quilt as Desired'! :lol:
