I don't really want to cut into my fabric when I am not sure if I will have enough (especially if you lose several inches getting it straight of grain--lost well over 6 inches due to shrinkage and straightening just one yard a few weeks ago!!).
I'm being weird with you!! I just fold up the fabrics and put them in a big see-thru bag. Then I can put the new fabric on top of wrap the fabrics around each other to see how they'll go together.
