This is why I say to quilting friends who say, "oh, this fabric is just toooo pretty to cut into," or say, "I'm saving this fabric for something special!"...............I say: USE IT NOW, YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT TOMORROW WILL BRING!
After two of my best friends, and addicted quilters, died unexpectedly.....I ended up cleaning out their sewing rooms. It broke my heart to see the things they had been saving for 'someday'...........so, cut into it, use it, enjoy it! LIFE IS SHORT!
