It all depends on who I plan the quilt for. I have a couple of Aunt in law's that live together and their color and fabric choices were 5 out of 6 the same--eerie-- Mae's personality is precise and Faye is chaotic. They both picked out the Weather Vane pattern. Mae's is just like the picture is in the book. But Faye's I changed it to give it a ripple like affect -like a flag in a nice breeze.
