    It depends. Sometimes I see fabric that is so perfect for a particular person that I buy the fabric to use as a focal point. Then I look for a pattern that would work with it and add other co-ordinating fabrics to make the quilt. Other times, I find a pattern that is perfect for someone. I buy the pattern and then look for fabric. So, it all depends on what you see or happen to find.

    Totally agree...............would be lost without direction of a specific pattern-buy too much or too little!
