Why do we do this? It is so funny to my daughters boyfriend, He just doesn't get it.
I think part of not wanting to cut into fabric is that a really good design is art...and we don't cut up art! Even though many of us could make a pretty cool stack'n'whack or one block wonder out of fabric with a repeating Mona Lisa design we wouldn't cut into the original, one-of-a-kind artwork. And that beautiful piece of fabric you are saving is one-of-a-kind, in your stash anyway!

I hope you find your pattern, and when you finally do cut your fabric (even though it will be to make something beautiful) I will feel your pain!
