I have this problem too. I have a collection of a fabric in multiple colors. Couldn't find the "perfect" quilt for highlighting the fabric. Then, I decided to make a wall hanging using the fabric. I was able to get over my Do Not Cut by using the small amount in the wall hanging. Now I have used the fabric 2 or maybe 3 projects. I realized I had enough fabric to make multiple quilts with it. Lesson learned, now I have no hesitancy to cut fabric. Maybe it is because I usually buy three yards of fabric I love, so I have lots left over after one project.
