Yes, lots of my fabrics just get taken out and admired because if I cut them......I won't have them any more. Makes sense to me. Just this week I finished my first-ever batik quilt using fabrics I've had for several years. It was time. BTW, I did exactly the same thing with Betty Boop (cowgirl) fabric that "azdesertrat" did. Added some borders, quilted around each Betty motif, and she became an instant whole cloth quilt.
