When I came to this piece I didn't hesitate to throw it on the pile, but after I ironed it I questioned myself. Then I thought...I'll go to the Board...they will give me the greatest advice! So, here I am waiting for your answers...thanks!
Fuuny, last night I was at guild, and the speaker was Sally Schneider. She said that she had a favorite fabric that for years she just kept in her stash. Then she finally decided to use it, and cut it into small pieces, and now she enjoys it in several quilts (she does scrappy). Even though there is just one small piece on a quilt, it is her favorite block on that quilt, just because of that fabric and it always makes her smile. So, she said - cut it up!
