I can relate to not being able to cut into the pretty fabric. I have way to many of those "pretty pieces" in my stash. I have been getting a little braver of late, but, there are still some I just can't do it to. Maybe someday.
I really like the pattern that Leslie333 posted. I just hate to pay $9.50 for it. I know, I know, some of you are saying I'm cheap!!! Actually I'm thrifty. I know it is a simple pattern, but, I am not mentally equipped to draw it out myself. Nor do I have an EQ program. HUMMMMMMMMM?
