I have fallen in love with a few purchases of fabric I just can't bare to cut. One is just "quilted" using a walking foot.. yes, it is more like a blanket.. but some of the fabric is just BEAUTIFUL !

Of course I have & I have alot of them. However at the same time I don't know what I want to do with some of them.
I have some waiting for just the right project, then I will have no problem cutting it.
I have a piece of fabric that I bought in 1966 that I still can't bear to think of cutting up - long before I even THOUGHT about quilting. My daughter and granddaughter have both seen it and just shake their heads. 'Make something with it.' But they don't make suggestions or say 'Make something FOR ME.' One of them will probably have to decide some day, and THEY BETTER NOT JUST GIVE IT TO GOOD WILL!!!!1
LOL, this is what I also tell myself. A good 1/6th of my stash is composed of just such fabrics.Originally Posted by DebraK

I believe UFOs are like scraps, ferns and dust bunnies. Once you get two, they send spores out into the air and more just happen anywhere the spores meet.
I love pretty fabric! Have a few pieces, just because they are so pretty, no plans to use, just so pretty. Maybe stretch and put on a frame and hang, yes maybe so.
This reminds me of a photo I saw on a blog (http://www.purlbee.com/swatch-portra...portraits.html ) . A wall decorated with embroidery hoops with pieces of gorgeous fabric stretched in them. Different sizes, big prints, small prints....unbelievably gorgeous in a sewing room.

But maybe that's exactly what it takes.
