I was in that situation recently. I had some lovely fabric left from an art quilt I designed & finished. The fabric appealed to me so much that I bought it in all the colors the store had-red, purple, black, & light & navy blue. Some colors had big pieces left after my Doctor Who art quilt & I just kept hoarding it. Ocassionally I’d take it out, pet it, & croon, “My precious!” I decided it was silly to keep it hidden & when Mystery #19 came along it was time to use it! I used the red & both blues & I remembered how I enjoyed working with it. I’m very pleased with the look of the mystery blocks & am happy this favorite fabric will soon be on display! Don’t do like my late MIL who saved so many things for ‘some special day.’ We found so many wonderful things still with tags that she never wore or used, so she didn’t get to enjoy them at all. One item still had ‘Christmas 1953’ on the outer wrapping! It was as old as I, & never used. How sad.
