If I see a pattern I (99%of the time) usually do it the same have a hard time changing fabric colors So for me pattern first then material ..All the fabric stash I have I bought because I like it with no plans and keeps growing...

I made my cousin's baby an Eleanor Burns trip around the world quilt in Winnie the pooh fabrics, 1/2 yard each of six fabrics and it was wonderful (in their opinion too, not just MHO!). It worked up quickly and easily.

I started getting fabrics together for a king size quilt and then found a pattern and have been agonizing ever since whether I have enough of each fabric. Next time, it will be pattern first then the fabrics. My stash isn't big enough to "shop" in!
