Just be sure you have all the fabric that's supposed to be in the kit. Sometimes you don't and, for sure, if it's short it will be with the one fabric you really want to use. :)

Give complements to the creator/designer of the pattern and choice of fabrics by doing it the way it was intended. You know they always say that copying is a great form of flattery.

All this discussion is reminding of someone's tag line on the board which is "I never met a pattern that I couldn't tweak". Just takes a tiny tweak to make if your own and stop the quilt trip.

I was thinking about this today. I think you "should" do what you want with it. Forget the Home Ec teacher. It was 1961. She was a teacher. It doesn't mean she knew everything or that you still have to live by her rules. I had a woman tell me a long time ago to quit "shoulding" myself. It doesn't matter what someone for your far away past thinks. They aren't a god, just another person. Use your own judgement. If you like the quilt that way it's made from the kit, do it that way. You can always do it again and "tweak" it to your own liking. If your Home Ec teacher doesn't like it, you can thumb your nose at her. You're an adult now. You can do that :D
