    I see why you love the fabric so much; it is beautiful. The pattern looks like a good choice too. I have the same problem too! I find that it gets easier once you make the first cut.

    LOL - I think a lot of us have the same problem. I have to get my gumption up before every project just to be able to cut the fabric.
    Those are very beautiful fabrics you have there. Maybe while you wait for the day you can actually cut them up, you could keep them where they are in view. I keep a collection of favorites in my grandmother's old china cabinet. Even if I don't use them, they add beauty to the room and make me feel inspired.

    Just keep telling yourself (as you cut) that it will be SOOOOO beautiful once all those fabrics are intermingled in a quilt top.

    This is a good option, if you don't like the pattern you're showing.

    Beautiful fabric! I know how you feel. I have some fabric that I have not had the courage to start cutting, especially since it is fabric that I bought a while ago and am afraid I won't be able to replace it should I "goof". I have the pattern for it too, but.......... Eventually it will get cut but for now...I will just caress and hug it and admire it. LOL

    I understand your plight but it's going to make a beautiful quilt!

    I feel that way about a special piece or pieces of fabric sometimes. I take a big breath, get calm, and go for it.
