Absolutely true! I have a friend who is not a quilter but likes to tag along to quilt shops and quilt shows. She will find a pattern and more times than not, she is drawn to the fabrics used in the pattern, not the pattern itself. I have seen her pick out 2 identical quilt patterns and not know they are the same pattern because they have been made with different fabrics. I have tried to explain to her that the pattern picture is just a suggestion but she doesn't have that creative license thing. . . Oh, well. She is great company and appreciates everything I have made for her and others! She's my biggest fan!
I don't think I have ever made a quilt using the color pallette in the picture.
