If I design one it always decides what size it will be no matter how much work I do with graph paper! I quit arguing with them long ago and just let them be what they will be.

Count me in too. Mine sometimes are very decisive what fabric, which pattern, who it beongs too. I listen, otherwise I'd never get my quilts finished and have the satisfied feeling of giving hugs/love on call.

I had one that did not like it's binding. Folded it and placed with other finished quilts but everytime I went to look for something, that binding kept looking at me....Finally I took it down and took off the binding and replaced.... Matter resolved....

I am involved in two different Round Robins and I depend on those rounds talking to me. Some come in and scream that they know what they want - others...not even a whisper.

My funniest experience was with a quilt where I didn't like the intended recipient and I wasn't keen on the design or fabric. I laid out the sandwich on the floor but had to leave it for a bit. When I got back, my cats had pulled back the top and shredded the batting. It is the only time they did this. Apparently the quilts talk to my cats too.

Not at all weird.... I used to crochet alot and when I would start a project because I liked it before it was finished it was calling out to me the name of the person who would be its new owner...I just got a feeling about it... not crazy or weird at all

Funny how things most often work out for the best.

Mind you I also talk to plants, animals and myself....but that's a whole 'nother thing

How awesome that we find our true soul matches here on the QB. Another quote, this one from hawk, also echoes within me, "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."
And I don't believe for a moment that any of us are wierd or crazy. I know that we are just blessed to have learned to hear and understand the language of the heart, which is love.
