Not weird at all! Mine do the same thing. They also choose their own names and the labels to go on them. I once had some fabric - Michael Miller I think - with pictures of Italy and words in Italian. I bought it for a class and only used 1/2 the width of the 4 repeats. I didn't know what I was going to do with the other half, then it started screaming my dear SisIL's name. She is half Italian/half Irish. Then the quilt named itself Reflesi d'Italia - Reflections of Italy. Sis in Law and quilt are very happy with each other. The quilt I made for one of my brothers wrote a poem in my head while I was working. Of course that poem went on the label.
So you are not along in your ... insanity.?.
