Anyway I just was curious if anyone else had this problem :?:
I once bought a gorgeous purply-with-swirls fabric to make a "When I am Old I shall Wear Purple" quilt for when I turned 50. I fondled that fabric and redesigned "the quilt" many times in my head, but never could cut it up.
Now I'm 65, have been a Red Hatter, am retired, wear shorts and tank-tops in the summer and turtles/warm slacks in the winter, and could care less about a "Wear Purple" quilt!
I ended up selling that fabric when I opened my stash to the local guild for $3 a yard shopping 2 years ago. Made over $1000 during that event and could buy fabric for my "when I'm buried" robe, LOL! Have hardly missed that swirly purple!!
