I agree with the majority. You would kick yourself if, when you go to finish the applique quilt, you ran out because you used some of the fabric for another project.

Another Sue here with the same advice. I've made that mistake before and it's no fun!

I agree (or finish the UFO)

Easier to just keep the fabrics together than to finish the UFO. :wink:

This is what I do with my fabrics, too. They are all in jail until I finish the project...
