I know what you mean when you say it's hard to cut into fabric! Yet, I still pick small pieces up all the time at the quilt stores! I love fabric and I love color! I hate to throw even dinky pieces away from my projects,too. I have just finished the Farmer's Wife quilt and think I'd like to start another large quilt like Dear Jane so I would have one for each of our daughters someday. I don't need quilts!! I know I would be blessed if I made lap size quilts and gave them away!
Well, I just rambled on here, but this is a subject that whirls around my mind a lot! May all of us find our way in this wonderful maze of quilting fun we are in!!
