My stash is growing weekly. (When I bring home new fabric or receive it in the mail it feels like I ate chocolate!!). I Have downloaded lots of patterns and have so many books but I am getting confused about what fabrics should go with what patterns. How do you all figure this out?

Which one calls out to be used in a quilt! I call it my inspritation fabric and pull colors from there.

Ps... I am not hiding... I don't know how to edit my profile!

Click on My Profile at the top of this page. Easy from there.

I bundle them together. If I have a pattern I want to make I put it and all the fabric I have for it to date in an extra large zip lock bag.

Cuts down on confusion!

But when you want to use the fabrics how do you choose the "right" pattern? I am getting overwhelmed by the choices.

Smart

Hello. Go my 'My Profile' at the top of the page, open it and way down on the page is your location. You can change it there. You may have to save changes.

I have to know who I'm making a quilt for, choose the feature fabric that suits that person , then find a pattern and back up fabrics.

I have alot of patterns and a very little stash. So I will find a pattern and than find the fabric that goes with it. Because of how small my stash is I normaly have to go out and get it. I only buy what I need for a project with only a small amount of extra for mistakes. The rare time I don't mess things up cutting it out, I have stash builder. Normaly only 1/4 or 1/2 yard. So you see why I have to buy as I go.

Should I use a regular computer instead of my ipad to do profile stuff?
