@suzanneroper57323 years agoHi karen! Thanks for putting out such great content. As a beginner quilter, i have learned so much from your videos as well as the informative interviews. now a question: i have bought a couple of layer cakes of fabric collections that i love. Without having a pattern in mind. There are lots of tips for choosing the fabric for a pattern but no hints on how to select a pattern to best use afabric set. Often patterns call for 6-8 fabrics; collections often have 25+ designs and i want to use them all! I have lots of patterns i love but im having a hard time envisioning my fabric in a pattern. Maybe this is something that comes with experience but i dont have much of that! Can you provide some guidance on how to go about matching a fabric collection (a layer cake, fat quarters, jelly roll) to a pattern. All suggestions welcome! ps: my layer cake is moda bee grateful (missouri quilt). ...Expand2
