Up The Side

Why is it that so many patterns that come in pieces start from the bottom up?  This drives me nuts.  I prefer to work top down, left to right.  A lot of these are bottom up, right to left.  I guess I could just work the pattern upside down, but that feels wrong to me, too.  Ah well.  On a brighter note, I've made a good start on part eight of Sweet Flowers and hope to have it done in time for the next part out later this month.
