I've had the same feelings. If you really love it you want to save it for something extra special only you never seem to find anything you want to make that's THAT worthy . So, go ahead and use what you need for a quilt you love. My experience has been that by the time I'm through trying to figure out the other colors I want to use, the quilt pattern, cutting all the pieces, piecing it together, sandwiching it, quilting it and putting borders on I'm rather sick of it (!) and I'm happy to put any remnants back in my stash way down in the pile!!!!
