I sometimes struggle hoping I am creating exactly what the former wants but then again a free reign, although fun, leaves me wondering if I am anywhere close to creating something they will cherish. What's a girl to do? :D<br />Thanks for sharing this week on Motivated Monday at BeColorful.<br />pBe Colorful Coastalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03244943047184703669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-92182324931234678.post-43888450271816431302013-10-04T16:14:01.246-07:002013-10-04T16:14:01.246-07:00Wonderful quilts.

I dragged him to the fabric store and told him to help me pick out fabrics (ex: I need 2 more blue fabrics, etc). Then I told him he couldn't see it until it was finished. Kind of a combination of the two - total surprise since he didn't see the pattern or know it was for him, but he was involved choosing the fabrics too, heehee.
