Fabric is kind of mouthy, as well. I've had some that didn't play well with others and wouldn't sit by another that it didn't like!

Interesting. I wish they would "talk" before I start making them, like when I pick out fabric? I started one for my DDIL, and it was hideous, until I listened more carefully. Bought the right fabrics and she just loved it!

this is awesome:
"And sometimes they insist on being made and just drag me along for the ride because they are wanted somewhere that I don't know about yet. I have learned to listen and obey."

I am laughing at this topic & especially your answer. I'm working on a top right now that thought it was boss. Then I decided to take charge & just showed it my rotary cutter & scissors to let it know who's in charge. Just want to gitter' done now.
I loved my orig. fabric but the rest just isn't doing what I wanted it to do so now I just want to finish it & pass it on.
My fault since I couldn't find a pattern that was just right for the bouquets of 3 roses fussy cut out in 8" blocks so I'm designing it as I go. I am so over this quilt now.
I hate it when we have bossy tops. LOL

This is so true -- of many things. You're not loony at all.

One of my other quilts is mad at me for not coming up with the right applique to complete her, but she won't tell me what it is supposed to be - so she's still in time out!.

Time out ! That made me smile.
