Do you have fabrics you like them so much that you don't want to cut/sew them?
I have some that I take them out, admire them, and then put them back in the fabric bins because i don't want to part with them.
Am I being silly?

I dont think you're silly at all. I do that all the time. I guess I want to be sure the right person ends up with it :) HAPPY QUILTING

Thats what I bought them for, to cut. I get more satisfaction on the beauty of the finished product because it is always prettier to me than the fabric alone. But if thats what floats you boat, don't cut it

I have a whole stack of fabrics that I don't want to use. Some people collect coins, some collect stamps. I collect fabric.

I have lots of fabric that I buy because it is pretty and I will probably never cut them. They are all on a special shelf and I take them down and unfold them and pet them then refold them and put them back. I'm okay with that!

Not I don't think it is silly. I have one with purple flowers on it that is so pretty, if I ever decide to pair it with something, I will hate cutting it.

I do the same thing with some of my fabric. I know it's weird, but some of it is so pretty I don't want to "mess it up" by cutting it. I like to pull out my fabrics and look at them them fold them back up and go on to the projects I'm working on. haha

I do, there are some fabrics that I enjoy and keep thinking I need to save them for another project...but I am trying to stop that.
