I use to feel the same way about batik fabric. I kept putting off using them because they were so nice. My DD asked me one day why I didn't use the fabric she gave me, didn't I like it? It was a beautiful tower of batiks. I decided then that it was foolish to have them sitting there when they could be in a quilt. I have lots of batik scraps in my scrap bin now and it doesn't bother me at all.
