I enjoy picking my fabric and design. The thought of have to make a quilt when somebody else chose the fabric etc takes the enjoyment out of it. My daughter picked a pattern and fabrics for me to make my grandbaby a quilt. Of course I would and did. It was more like a chore. I had another picked out but went with her choice. After I started quilting, I have a whole new respect for quilters. It's not done in a day.
